Table: Sodium 1.3 mg/L, Chloride 0,88 mg/L, Conductivity 101,7 µS/cm, pH 7.5, Sulfate 2,11 mg/L, Al/NH4/Fe/Mn not found, oxidisability 5 mg/L. Calcium 17.3 is from the fuska.com.tr homepage tile 'Ca 17.3 Yüksek Kalsiyum' (no unit or date; mg/L assumed; accepted by the site owner Arif on 2026-10-25; screenshot research/r4-turkey/evidence/fuska-homepage-ca-17.3-2026-10-25.png). Not used: the homepage tile 'pH 7.1 Alkali' (catalogue pH 7.5 kept) and the other homepage mineral tiles, which are template placeholders '5-12 mg/dm'. 'Neden Fuska' page gives hardness 4,5, pH 7,5, conductivity 101,7. Monthly Sakarya Halk Sağlığı Laboratuvarı routine reports at https://www.fuska.com.tr/tr/analiz-raporlari (5 L PET line, 2026) show pH 6,83–7,44 and conductivity 113–181 µS/cm. Fuska MS (a separate 19 L 'doğal mineralli su' product) has only microbiology reports online and is not covered. Turkish 'doğal kaynak suyu' (natural spring water) is regulated under the İnsani Tüketim Amaçlı Sular Hakkında Yönetmelik (Resmi Gazete 17.02.2005, no. 25730). Labels carry only its 'gösterge parametreleri' (indicator parameters: pH, conductivity, chloride, sulfate, sodium, oxidisability, Al/NH4/Fe/Mn). Calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, nitrate and TDS/dry residue are not published, and conductivity is not converted to TDS (no invented values). The monthly Halk Sağlığı Laboratuvarı reports brands link to are routine monitoring (Ek 2/A) and list only pH, conductivity, ammonium, bromate and microbiology.
