Source kind: official brand page. Sodium is shown only as 'FREE' (no number), so it is left empty. Potassium, sulfate, chloride and silica not published. The sparkling water (Paltinis Spring) is a different, much more mineral water. Sodium 0.6 mg/L from the brand's UK site (https://aquacarpatica.co.uk/products/, 'Natural Still Mineral Water': 'Naturally very low in Sodium (0.6 mg/l)'). The same UK page gives pH 7.8 and nitrate 0.6, while aquacarpatica.com gives pH 8.2 and nitrate 0.9; the .com values are kept.

How it stands out

  1. Lowest sodium of the 58 brands that publish a sodium value (0.6 mg/L).
  2. Sodium is 0.6 mg/L, under the 20 mg/L level the UK/EU uses for “suitable for a low-sodium diet” on natural mineral water labels.

UK/EU label thresholds met

Applied to the published numbers for information; these indications legally apply to natural mineral water labels.

  • Suitable for a low-sodium diet (sodium < 20 mg/L)
