What Is Waiakea?
Waiakea is sourced from a snowmelt-and-rain aquifer at the base of the Mauna Loa volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. The water filters through thousands of feet of porous volcanic rock before being bottled.
Waiakea pH Level: Is Waiakea Acidic or Alkaline?
Waiakea has a typical pH of 7.6 – 8.2 — naturally alkaline.

Why Waiakea has a pH of 7.6 – 8.2
Silica
Around 30 mg/L of silica — naturally dissolved from volcanic rock — contributes to the soft mouthfeel and connective-tissue health claims.
Calcium and magnesium
Light but balanced calcium and magnesium content reinforces the natural buffering that holds pH above 7.6.
Volcanic filtration
Filtering through porous Hawaiian basalt picks up bicarbonate, pushing the final pH into the 7.6–8.2 alkaline range.
Is Waiakea safe to drink?
Yes — and Waiakea positions itself heavily on sustainability and source purity, with rigorous regulatory testing in addition to FDA bottled-water standards.
Frequently asked questions
Is Waiakea alkaline water?
Yes, naturally. Waiakea's pH 7.6–8.2 is achieved through volcanic-rock filtration, not ionization.
What is Waiakea's silica content?
Around 30 mg/L — high enough to be a marketing point, though less than Fiji Water's ≈93 mg/L.
Where is Waiakea bottled?
At the source on the Big Island of Hawaii, near Mauna Loa volcano.
