Essentia Water has a typical pH of 9.5+ — highly alkaline.
Essentia is one of the most recognized alkaline bottled waters in the United States. It begins as municipal water, then goes through reverse osmosis, electrolyte infusion and a proprietary ionization process that strips acidic ions and raises pH to 9.5 or higher.
RO removes minerals, acids and contaminants, providing a blank slate for ionization.
Calcium chloride, potassium bicarbonate and magnesium sulfate are added for taste and electrolyte content.
An ionization step removes acidic ions and concentrates alkaline minerals, pushing pH to 9.5+ — far above naturally alkaline waters like Fiji or Acqua Panna.
Yes. Essentia is FDA-regulated and safe to drink. Clinical evidence that high-pH water provides meaningful health benefits beyond hydration is limited, but Essentia is among the most consistent and highest-pH mainstream options if alkalinity is your goal.
Essentia has a pH of 9.5 or higher — among the highest of any mainstream bottled water sold in the US.
No. Essentia's pH is achieved through ionization, not geology. Naturally alkaline alternatives include Fiji (7.7), Acqua Panna (8.0) and Icelandic Glacial (8.4).
Beyond hydration, clinical evidence is limited. The body tightly regulates blood pH regardless of what you drink.
