Bottled Water Without Sodium, Calcium, or Magnesium
No bottled water is truly zero — but several purified brands measure at or near 0 mg/L for sodium, calcium and magnesium. Here are the closest-to-zero brands and a full mineral comparison.

Who needs sodium-, calcium- or magnesium-free water?
Low-sodium medical diets
People managing hypertension, heart failure or chronic kidney disease are typically advised to keep dietary sodium under 1,500–2,000 mg/day. A liter of Vichy Catalan alone delivers 1,110 mg. Aquafina, Smartwater, Solan de Cabras and Mountain Valley all stay under 5 mg/L.
Calcium-restricted diets
People with a history of calcium-oxalate kidney stones, hypercalcemia or certain parathyroid conditions may be told to limit calcium intake. Aquafina, Essentia, Smartwater and Core Hydration sit under 1 mg/L of calcium.
Infant formula preparation
Pediatric guidance favors low-mineral water for reconstituting formula — typically under 20 mg/L sodium and under 0.7 mg/L fluoride. Most purified bottled waters qualify; high-mineral waters like Vittel, Gerolsteiner and Vichy Catalan do not.
Home reverse-osmosis equivalent
If you're researching what RO water looks like, Aquafina, Dasani and Smartwater are the closest bottled analog — almost all minerals removed, sometimes with a pinch of salt added back for taste.
Important caveat: stripping minerals also removes their dietary benefit. Calcium and magnesium from water are well-absorbed and contribute meaningfully to daily intake. Unless you have a specific medical reason, low-mineral water is fine for hydration but shouldn't be the sole source of those minerals in your diet.
Frequently asked questions
Is there bottled water with no sodium?
Aquafina lists 0 mg/L sodium on its label, and Smartwater, Dasani and Core Hydration all sit between 2 and 5 mg/L — close enough to zero that a liter contributes well under 1% of the daily sodium limit. No bottled water is guaranteed to be absolutely sodium-free because trace amounts can come from minerals added for taste, but purified RO-based brands are the closest.
What bottled water has no calcium?
Aquafina (0 mg/L) is the only major brand that lists no calcium at all. Essentia (0.6 mg/L), Smartwater (0.7 mg/L), Dasani (1 mg/L) and Core Hydration (1 mg/L) are effectively calcium-free for most dietary purposes.
Which bottled water is best for a low-sodium diet?
For people on a strict low-sodium diet, the best bottled waters are Aquafina (0 mg/L), Solan de Cabras (2.5 mg/L), Smartwater (2 mg/L), Mountain Valley Spring (3 mg/L) and Vittel (5 mg/L). Avoid Vichy Catalan (1,110 mg/L), Apollinaris (470 mg/L) and Badoit (165 mg/L).
Can bottled water be magnesium-free?
Voss (0.3 mg/L), Essentia (0.4 mg/L), Core Hydration (0.5 mg/L) and Aquafina (0 mg/L) all sit at or near zero magnesium. Reverse-osmosis purified waters remove almost all magnesium, while natural mineral and spring waters typically retain at least a few mg/L.
Is sodium-free water the same as purified water?
Most sodium-free or near-zero bottled waters are purified — produced by reverse osmosis or distillation, which strips out almost all dissolved minerals. A few natural spring waters such as Mountain Valley and Solan de Cabras also have very low sodium without being purified, but they still carry meaningful calcium and bicarbonate.
Is calcium-free bottled water safe for infant formula?
Low-mineral water — including low calcium, low sodium and low fluoride — is generally preferred for reconstituting infant formula. Always check your pediatrician's guidance and the label for sodium under 20 mg/L and fluoride under 0.7 mg/L. Most purified bottled waters (Aquafina, Smartwater, Dasani, Core Hydration) meet these thresholds.
