Minerals and daily intake

Top
Water mineral signature

Calcium, magnesium, sodium and other ions create the character of the water, so they are shown both as a readable profile and as laboratory values.

H₂O Mineralization level
Ca²⁺ 19 mg/L
Mg²⁺ 6.4 mg/L
Na⁺ 0.26 mg/L
Cl⁻ <1 mg/L
HCO₃⁻ 42 mg/L
K⁺ <0.10 mg/L

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), drinking water can contribute significantly to daily calcium and magnesium intake. Waters with lower mineralisation generally contribute less to daily intake of essential minerals compared with more mineral-rich waters.

Minerals and daily intake

The marker shows how much of each mineral is present in one litre of water and, therefore, how much you consume by drinking one litre of that water. The scale compares this amount with the approximate recommended daily intake for a healthy adult.

Calcium (Ca²⁺) Daily intake: approx. 1000 mg/day

Note

Results marked with '<' mean the concentration was below the determination limit of the laboratory method used.

Important:

How to understand the displayed results

The values shown represent the results of individual water samples at the time of sampling and are not real-time measurements.

For parameters with an established limit value, the colour scale shows the measured concentration as a percentage of the applicable EU limit value. Lower, medium and higher values within the limit represent different concentration levels and do not, by themselves, indicate that the water is non-compliant or unsafe to drink. Exceedances of the limit value are shown separately (see: Above EU limit).

Results may change over time. Water quality can be influenced by natural and weather conditions, activities in the surrounding environment, the condition of the water source, water treatment, the distribution network and other factors. Since many parameters require laboratory analysis, a complete real-time assessment of water quality is not possible.

Each result therefore represents the analysed sample at a specific time and location and does not necessarily reflect the current quality of water at the tap.

For information on current compliance, any measures in place or restrictions on water use, always refer to the latest results and official notices from the responsible water utility. In cooperation with water utilities, EWSA will continuously work to make the latest available information accessible through this platform.

How the EWSA comparison scale works

The limit values are based on applicable European requirements for drinking water quality. To make the results easier to understand and compare, EWSA has further divided the range below each limit value into informative categories. These categories are an EWSA comparison tool, not official EU classifications, and do not in themselves represent an assessment of health risk.

100% represents the applicable limit value for the individual parameter. Values below 100% show what proportion of that limit was measured in the analysed sample, while values above 100% indicate that the applicable limit value was exceeded in that sample.

EWSA: Total dissolved solids at 180 °C (mg/L)

How rich the water is in minerals

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) means the total amount of dissolved solid substances in water, most commonly expressed in mg/L.

Drinking Experience

TDS helps describe how the water’s mineralization is perceived when drinking - from light and delicate to a more pronounced, fuller mineral character.

H₂O

≈ 135 mg/L · Hydration
Electrical conductivity (20 °C): 208 µS/cm Estimated TDS: ≈ 135 mg/L Calculated from electrical conductivity using a conversion factor of 0.65.
TDS can be determined or estimated using the following methods:
  • Gravimetric determination - based on the mass of dissolved substances remaining after filtration and evaporation or drying of the sample under the conditions specified by the analytical method used.
  • Calculation - based on the sum of the concentrations of individual dissolved constituents determined by laboratory analysis.
  • Estimation from electrical conductivity - TDS is estimated from the measured electrical conductivity using an appropriate conversion factor. In this calculation, a factor of 0.65 was used.
Explanation
Current sample category Hydration

Because of the broad mineralisation range, it is important to understand the characteristics of each water, since its mineral composition influences sensory profile, mouthfeel and intended use.

Waters from public water supply systems are generally in the lower to medium mineralisation range, often approximately up to 500 mg/L total dissolved solids (TDS), whereas natural mineral waters and waters from specific geological environments can reach substantially lower or higher levels of mineralisation; these refer to bottled waters.

EWSA mineralisation ranges and TDS categories are an internal sensory and user-oriented classification. They are not an official medical or regulatory classification of drinking waters.

Hydration

Area on the displayed scale: above 100 and up to 500 mg/L TDS.

This category includes waters with a lower level of mineralisation that do not stand out by any single element. Such waters generally have a gentle and less pronounced taste, which also depends on the water's pH.

Waters in this category often pair well with tea, coffee and herbal drinks, as their gentler sensory profile has less influence on the sensory characteristics of the preparation. The final taste depends on the full mineral composition of each water. They can also be paired with lighter food, such as salads with delicate dressings or pasta with light sauces.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), drinking water can contribute significantly to daily calcium and magnesium intake. Waters with lower mineralisation generally contribute less to daily intake of essential minerals than more mineral-rich waters.

There is no universally defined single international classification, but waters with lower total dissolved solids (TDS), often approximately up to 100 mg/L, are commonly understood as low-mineral waters.

When everyday nutrition is low in minerals, water with a higher mineralisation can contribute to a more balanced mineral intake.

Internal EWSA interpretative water classification, designed to make the sensory, mineral and practical characteristics of individual waters easier to understand and to foster an informed and responsible relationship with drinking water as an important element of quality of life.

Categories:
  • Hydration.
  • Purposeful hydration.
  • Specific use.

These categories support a professional, sensory and user-oriented interpretation of the characteristics of individual waters.

The classification is not a medical, health or regulatory categorisation of water and does not represent a health or nutrition claim.

The categories are based primarily on:
  • the mineral composition of water.
  • the degree of mineralisation.
  • sensory characteristics.
  • a manner of making water easier to understand.
  • manufacturer information and publicly accessible professional sources.

The Specific use category identifies waters with a characteristic mineral or ionic composition or manner of use, where special properties are supported by confirmed research, scientifically recognised methods or appropriate documentation; it is not a general health or medical claim concerning the effects of the water itself.

Water hardness

Top
Moderately hard

Water hardness is mainly determined by dissolved calcium and magnesium ions. In addition to influencing limescale formation, it significantly shapes the sensory properties of water, such as texture, fullness and mineral character.

0-17 mg/L Very soft 18-60 mg/L Soft 61-120 mg/L Moderately hard 121-180 mg/L Hard water above 180 mg/L Very hard

Scale source: Water Quality Association (WQA); interpretation: European Water Sommelier Association.

73.8 mg/L as CaCO₃ · Moderately hard

Formula: 19 mg/L Ca (calcium) × 2.497 + 6.4 mg/L Mg (magnesium) × 4.118 = add the two calculated values together; their sum represents the total water hardness, expressed in mg/L as CaCO₃.

Explanation
  • Very soft 0-17 mg/L
  • Soft 18-60 mg/L
  • Moderately hard 61-120 mg/L
  • Hard water 121-180 mg/L
  • Very hard above 180 mg/L

What does water hardness mean?

Water hardness is mainly determined by dissolved calcium and magnesium ions. In addition to influencing limescale formation, it significantly shapes the sensory properties of water, such as texture, fullness and mineral character.

Hardness mainly influences:

  • limescale formation.
  • the sensory properties of water.
  • use in food and beverage preparation.
  • the interaction of water with household appliances.

Total hardness is conventionally expressed as calcium carbonate equivalent (CaCO₃). This does not mean that the same amount of CaCO₃ is present in the water; it is a standard way of expressing the combined effect of calcium and magnesium on water hardness.

Waters with higher hardness usually have a more pronounced mineral character and a fuller mouthfeel. In sensory analysis, differences in hardness can often be perceived through water texture, mineral intensity and an overall sense of mineral fullness.

pH value

8.2 pH · Alkaline

pH helps describe acidity or alkalinity; the actual sensation is also connected to minerals and water temperature.

pH Sensory description
5,0-5,9 Distinctly acidic, sharp, fresh, possibly reminiscent of lemon
6,0-6,4 Slightly acidic, lively
6,5-7,3 Neutral, soft, balanced
7,3-7,5 Neutral to slightly alkaline, clean, unobtrusive
7,5-8,0 Slightly alkaline, may give a sense of smoothness and fullness
8,0-8,5 Alkaline
8,5-9,0 More distinctly alkaline
9,0-10,0 Strongly alkaline, may feel bitter
Current analysis 8.2 pH · 8,0-8,5

Alkaline

pH describes the acidity or alkalinity of water. Sensory perception also depends on the full mineral profile, TDS, temperature and individual perception.

Explanation

Lower pH can feel fresher or lightly acidic, neutral waters tend to feel balanced, while higher pH can feel rounder, alkaline and may also taste bitter.

The pH value is taken from the laboratory report and automatically shown on the interpretative scale.

The pH scale 5.0-10.0 is divided into EWSA sensory ranges, with the current analysis automatically highlighted in the appropriate range.

Sensory perception of water does not depend only on pH value, but also on:

  • the full mineral composition.
  • the content of dissolved minerals (TDS).
  • the presence of carbon dioxide.
  • water temperature.
  • individual perception.

The pH value by itself is not an indicator of water quality or health suitability.

Interpretative sensory descriptions of pH value are part of the internal methodology of the European Water Sommelier Association (EWSA) and are not a health or regulatory classification of water.

Bled Water Forum · EWSA

Slovenia has the right to clean drinking water written into its Constitution (Article 70a, 2016).

The goal of Bled Water Forum and the European Water Sommelier Association (EWSA) is to promote a broader understanding of drinking water, its quality, mineral composition and the importance of responsible water-resource management. Through knowledge transfer, we want to contribute to greater awareness and understanding of water and its role in everyday life.

We believe that understanding water, its origin, composition and quality is an important part of a responsible attitude toward drinking water and the sustainable management of future water resources.

Access to safe, high-quality drinking water is one of the fundamental values of modern society, and an important part of that access is the ability for each person to understand the water they drink.
