Smartwater has a typical pH of 6.5 – 7.5 — neutral.
Smartwater is produced by Glacéau (a Coca-Cola subsidiary). It starts as municipal water and is purified through vapor distillation — essentially distilling water to remove everything — before adding back a proprietary electrolyte blend (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium bicarbonate) for taste.
Distillation produces near-zero-mineral water with a pH close to neutral. The electrolyte add-back nudges pH slightly above 7 in some batches.
Calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and potassium bicarbonate provide light buffering and a clean, slightly mineral taste.
Low TDS (~40 mg/L) and near-neutral pH together produce the soft, almost flavorless character Smartwater is known for.
Yes. Smartwater's pH 6.5–7.5 range lies in the middle of the regulator-recommended drinking-water band. Safe and consistent.
Smartwater is generally neutral to slightly alkaline (pH 6.5–7.5). It is not a high-pH alkaline water like Essentia.
It starts as distilled water but has electrolytes added back, so it is not pure distilled by the time you drink it.
The Smartwater Alkaline variant is reformulated to pH 9.0+, separate from regular Smartwater.
