The best spring water brands
Updated · Scores from third-party lab reports · How we score
The best spring water is Cedar Springs Bottled Water Gallon (96/100), followed by Acqua Filette Natural Glass Bottle (95/100), Eldorado Natural Spring Water Gallon (95/100) and Eira Still Mineral Water Glass Bottle (93/100). We compared 235 spring and mountain spring waters.
Spring water comes from an underground source that flows naturally to the surface. It keeps its natural minerals, but quality varies a lot by spring and by bottle, which is why lab reports matter more than the label.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best spring water to drink?
Cedar Springs Bottled Water Gallon (96/100) is the top-ranked spring water in our data, ahead of Acqua Filette Natural Glass Bottle (95/100) and Eldorado Natural Spring Water Gallon (95/100).
Is spring water better than purified water?
Spring water keeps natural minerals like calcium and magnesium, while purified water has most minerals removed. Both can be clean, but spring water scores higher for source quality in our ranking.
How are these waters scored?
Every product gets a 0–100 purity score built from a lab report being on file, contaminants detected versus legal limits and health guidelines, the water source, mineral preservation, packaging material, cap material and PFAS testing. Products without a third-party lab report cannot score high, no matter how good the marketing is.
