VOSS Water has a typical pH of 6.0 – 7.0 — near neutral.
VOSS Artesian Water originates from a confined aquifer in southern Norway, sheltered for centuries beneath layers of rock and sand. The aquifer is protected from outside contamination, allowing the water to be bottled essentially untouched.
VOSS has a TDS of only about 44 mg/L — one of the lowest of any premium bottled water. With so few minerals, it has minimal buffering and sits near the neutral line.
Low TDS and near-neutral pH together produce a clean, near-flavorless character that pairs well with food and is popular with fine-dining sommeliers.
VOSS Sparkling adds CO₂ and reads closer to pH 5.5–6.0 due to carbonic acid formation, like all carbonated waters.
Among the lowest mineral content of any premium bottled water — the Norwegian aquifer's low mineral solubility keeps calcium, magnesium, sodium and bicarbonate all close to trace levels.
| Mineral | Amount (mg/L) |
|---|---|
| Calcium | 5 |
| Magnesium | 0.3 |
| Sodium | 6 |
| Bicarbonate | 27 |
| TDS (total) | 44 |
Yes. A pH range of 6.0–7.0 is well within safe drinking-water norms. Low-TDS water like VOSS is often chosen specifically for its clean, neutral character.
No, VOSS Still sits around pH 6.0–7.0 — essentially neutral, not alkaline. If you want naturally alkaline water, see Fiji or Acqua Panna.
The Norwegian aquifer it draws from has very low mineral solubility, which keeps VOSS's TDS around 44 mg/L — one of the lowest premium waters available.
VOSS Sparkling reads lower (≈5.5–6.0) because added CO₂ forms carbonic acid, lowering pH like any carbonated water.
