US waters
If you’d like to drink American, these score highest.
Criterion: Waters from the USA with a Waterphile Score, highest first.
Why it matters
In the US, the FDA defines spring, mineral, artesian and purified water. Purified water starts from treated water, often municipal, so it has very few minerals unless some are added. How scores work →
