Water PH

Hello Magus!

Thank you for the question! This one is a little more difficult to answer due to variations in water sources. More minerals present in the water source equate to greater the variation in the pH balance. Also, when you consider the addition of sugars or fruit juices (think spritzers) there seems to be an even wider variant.

Pure water ranks 7 on the pH scale. The Whole Foods Spring Water ranges from 6.5 to 7.4. We obtain water for this product regionally, from six different springs. It seems like water from the south and west coast tends to be above the 7 mark, and that on the east coast and north regions tends to be just below 7.

The 365 Electrolyte Water is slightly basic. This product has minerals intentionally added to its formulation. The pH of this product is approximately 6.5.

Other waters/pH levels of interest:
365 Distilled Water has a pH of approximately 7
365 Italian Still Mineral Water has an approximate pH of 7.6
365 Italian Sparkling Mineral Water has an approximate pH of 5.2
365 Tonic Water ranges from 2.4-2.6
365 Club soda ranges from 6.2-7.0

I hope this information proves helpful in your quest for knowledge of Whole Foods Market Private Label products.

Take care,

Teresa
