The Spa water
-
The Spa water comes from the High Fens in Belgium. Here it is extracted up to 50 meters underground. The water has already traveled a journey of 3 to 5 years until it is used as drinking water. In this journey, it encounters few elements that can resolve. The Spa water therefore has few mineral salts. This is a good sign because one often gets too much of salt, and in particular sodium - part of salt. With only 47 mg of dry residue (total mineral salt content), Spa red is very slightly mineral-containing water. Just for comparison, 1000 mg dry residue per liter is regarded as an average mineral water.

Mineral water vs tap water
-
What is the difference between mineral water and tap water?
Price of Spa red against tap water
-
1 liter of Spa blue: 59 cents 1 liter Spa red: 0.62 cents (supermarket) 1 liter tap water: 0.0015 (tap water) Even though you can see the mineral water and tap water as two completely different products, they still have the same function, namely moisturizing. One is no better at this than the other. However, the price is very different. Tap water is considerably cheaper in the above situations.
Conclusion
-
Spa red mineral water is healthy because it contains few heavy metals. Yet more substances are being tested with tap water, so it cannot be said that mineral water is healthier than tap water. You also get the extra minerals in Spa red through the food. In addition, tap water is much cheaper and you don't have to buy water bottles that only pollute the environment. However, if you want to drink carbonated water, Spa red is a good solution.
