🧠 What Really Matters — Tips to Choose
Test TDS / mineral balance — A good mineral water will have a moderate Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) — not too low (flat taste), not too high (hardness). You can buy a TDS meter (cheap) and test the delivered bottles.
Taste & “mouthfeel” — Even with same TDS, different trace minerals (Mg, Ca etc) change the feel: sharper, smoother, etc. Try a 19 L as a trial.
Delivery reliability — A cheaper bottle isn’t useful if they miss deliveries, give you stale bottles, or have broken logistics.
Bottle hygiene & deposit policy — Always ask how old the bottles are, how they sanitize, and what’s the deposit / refund policy.
Lab certifications / transparency — Prefer brands that publish test results or are certified by PSQCA / NIH etc.
