Is Bottled Water Hard or Soft? Story

Is Bottled Water Hard or Soft?

Wondering whether your favorite bottled drinking water is classed as hard or soft water?

In this story, we’ve discussed everything you might want to know about the hardness of bottled water products.

Hard water is any water that has a high mineral content. Calcium and magnesium are the two key hard water minerals.

These minerals are present naturally in the environment and enter water as it flows over mineral-rich rocks and soils.

Soft water is the opposite of hard water: it’s water with a low mineral content.

Soft water might contain only trace amounts of calcium and magnesium, or it might be mineral-free.

Bottled water is usually hard because its concentration of calcium and magnesium hardness minerals is naturally high.

These water sources accumulate hardness minerals as water flows through or over mineral-rich rocks and soils.
