"Only three brands earned the highest possible marks for disclosing information and using the most advanced treatment methods available - Gerber Pure Purified Water, Nestle Pure Life Purified Water, and Penta Ultra-Purified Water."


(Insisting these tree brands being the top quality bottled water companies, half of the products surveyed had failed an EWG transparency test, of that 50%, 18% did not release information of how or where the water had been obtained. implying this information, its safe to say its a good idea to at least consider knowing wich water companies willingly release information about the source and production of the product, mainly being Gerber Pure Purified Water, Nestle Pure Life Purified Water, and Penta Ultra-Purified Water. -Jcouto38)

types of watersssssss :DD

Mineral and spring water
This must come from an underground source (not a public water supply) and can't be altered with chemicals. Mineral water has a higher amount of dissolved mineral salts.
Bottled water
This can be water from any source, distilled, carbonated or treated in any manner. Dasani (owned by Coca-Cola) is filtered municipal tap water, bottled in Brampton, Ont., and Calgary. (Pepsi owns Aquafina, which is also sourced from municipalities.)
Artesian water/Artesian well water
Bottled water from a well that taps a confined aquifer (a water-bearing underground layer of rock or sand).
Sparkling water
Water that has been carbonated. Soda water, seltzer water and tonic water are not considered bottled waters.
