Questions and answers

Which is better for the gym or outdoors?
Open Water. The aluminum can is shatterproof and gets cold fast, so it holds up in a bag or cooler better than a plastic bottle.
Which has the higher pH?
Icelandic Glacial at 8.4. Open Water is balanced at 7.0, so it is neutral rather than alkaline.
Is Icelandic Glacial worth stepping up to over purified water?
If you want a natural spring source, alkaline pH and certified freedom from microplastics and PFAs, yes. If you mainly want cold water in tough packaging, Open Water fits better.
Which packaging is better for recycling?
Aluminum cans are infinitely recyclable and are the stronger choice here. Icelandic Glacial's rPET bottles are also 100% recyclable.
Does either one add anything to the water?
Open Water adds electrolytes during purification. Icelandic Glacial adds nothing and takes nothing away.
Which tastes smoother?
Icelandic Glacial has low minerals at 62 ppm TDS, which many drinkers find soft. Open Water is described as crisp and smooth, and owners say it tastes better chilled in the can.
