Its pH is alkaline, which on the palate reads as silky, slightly bitter.

- Abbey Well is a regulated bottled water and safe to drink. The published analysis shows a moderately mineral water at 400 mg/L dissolved solids. Sodium sits at 54 mg/L, over the 20 mg/L low-sodium line.

- How much sodium is in Abbey Well?
- Abbey Well carries 54 mg/L of sodium. That is over the 20 mg/L line a low-sodium claim requires.
- Is Abbey Well hard or soft water?
- By its calcium and magnesium, Abbey Well works out to 267 mg/L as calcium carbonate, which counts as very hard water. That is genuinely hard water, chalky on the tongue and quick to scale a kettle.
- Is Abbey Well alkaline or acidic?
- Yes. Abbey Well has a published pH of 7.8, on the alkaline side of neutral, where it drinks silky, slightly bitter. That comes from bicarbonate-rich geology rather than any additive.
- Can you use Abbey Well for baby formula?
- Probably not the first choice. Abbey Well falls outside the German infant-formula guidance because sodium at 54 is over the 20 mg/L line. Pick a still water that clears all three limits, boil and cool it before mixing, and ask your pediatrician.
