Aquafina is a brand of purified drinking water, sourced from public water supplies and purified through a rigorous 7-step process called HydRO-7 to remove impurities and enhance taste. It has a clean, neutral taste with a crisp, refreshing texture, and contains zero calories, sugars, or nutrients, making it pure hydration in its simplest form.
💚 Why it's loved
People love it for its consistent, clean taste and the convenience of having a reliable, portable hydration option that's widely available in stores and vending machines, fitting seamlessly into busy, on-the-go lifestyles.
⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
As purified water, it lacks the minerals found in spring or mineral water, which some prefer for taste or potential health benefits. For those who prioritize environmental sustainability, the single-use plastic bottle is a common concern. To counteract this, consider using a reusable bottle and refilling it from a larger jug or filtration system.

FAQ
Is Aquafina just tap water?

Does Aquafina contain any minerals or electrolytes?
No, Aquafina is purified water with the minerals removed. It does not contain added electrolytes or minerals, which is why it has a very neutral taste.
Is the plastic bottle safe to drink from?
Yes, Aquafina bottles are made from PET plastic, which is FDA-approved for food and beverage contact and is widely used for single-use water bottles.
