Naturally occurring minerals and elements contribute to the taste of Nestlé Pure Life Natural Spring Water. The mineral content of any water is measured scientifically as TDS (total dissolved solids), sometimes referred to as mineral salt content.
TDS is a “fingerprint,” identifying the amount and type of minerals present. This TDS is what gives our Nestlé® Pure Life® Natural Spring Water its personality and distinguishes it from other waters. The basic composition is not changed during bottling, so you can enjoy the water’s clean, crisp taste and natural goodness.
Nestlé Pure Life Natural Spring Water is bottled from two different springs in Canada, and each location has its own unique taste and mineral profile. If you are purchasing Nestlé Pure Life west of Ontario, your water has been bottled in Hope, British Columbia. If you are purchasing in Ontario, Quebec or the Atlantic Provinces, your water has been bottled in Puslinch, Ontario. Each bottle and pack clearly indicates from which spring the water has been sourced.
We’ve broken down a sample mineral content for you here, so you can see exactly why you enjoy Nestlé® Pure Life® Natural Spring Water. All values are provided in milligrams per liter (mg/l) unless indicated otherwise.
