I picked up a bottle of Fiji bottled water with lunch today. Nice pic on the back about artesian wells, purity, taste, etc AND makeup. Here ya go:

Typical analysis in mg/liter:
Silica 85
Calcium 17
Magnesium 13
pH 7.5
Bicarbonates 140
Total Dissolved Solids 210

Dissolved silica can predispose to algae growth. Total dissolved solids in our RO water should be 0-2. Spring water is a no-no. SH

Wicked! They are back! There has been ALOT of rumors and companies claiming Bottled water companies have been using water not from their "advertsied" springs or wells or whatever. Its been claimed its just water from the tap. Be careful!
