mineral contents of bottled water

Post by Mr. PC »

So I compared it with some questions about mineral water on the old board, but there were some minerals I wasn't sure about and I figure the safest thing to do is just ask.

My mom bought a hole bunch of 'eska' bottled water and the minerals are

As 0
HC03 72
Ca 35
Cu 0
CL 0.5
F 0.1
Pb 0
MG 4.1
N03 (N) 0.2
K 0.8
Si02 5.5
Na 2.3
S04 6.3
Zn 0

As you can see some of these other minerals aren't explained elsewhere (that I can find), so hopefully they're not harmful.

Thanks

Some of the "0's" are actually "O's". This might explain why you can't find them.

As 0 = Ash, I think
HC03 72 - HCO3 = Hydrogen Carbonate
Ca 35 = Calcium
Cu 0 = Copper
CL 0.5 = Chloride
F 0.1 = Fluoride
Pb 0 = Lead
MG 4.1 - Mg = Magnesium
N03 (N) 0.2 - NO3 = Nitrate
K 0.8 = Potassium
Si02 5.5 - SiO2 = Silica
Na 2.3 = Sodium
S04 6.3 - SO4 = Sulphate
Zn 0 = Zinc

Hope this helps.

No, no harm in these levels.
