Common questions
- What does Buxton taste like?
- Buxton is a still water, full-bodied, clean and crisp, closing on a soft, round finish. It belongs to the Cathedral type in our sixteen-part typology, and the house tasting notes run round body, chalky note and soft mineral. Its pH is just over neutral, which on the palate reads as a touch sweet.
- Is Buxton good for you?
- Buxton is a regulated bottled water and safe to drink. The published analysis shows a moderately mineral water at 280 mg/L dissolved solids. Sodium sits at 24 mg/L, over the 20 mg/L low-sodium line.
- What minerals are in Buxton?
- Buxton carries calcium 55, magnesium 19, sodium 24 and potassium 1 mg/L over bicarbonate 248, sulfate 13 and chloride 37 mg/L. Calcium leads the mineral profile with bicarbonate the main anion, at 280 mg/L total dissolved solids.
- How much sodium is in Buxton?
- Buxton carries 24 mg/L of sodium. That is over the 20 mg/L line a low-sodium claim requires.
- Is Buxton hard or soft water?
- By its calcium and magnesium, Buxton works out to 214 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 Buxton alkaline or acidic?
- Buxton sits at pH 7.4, just over neutral, so faintly alkaline rather than a true high-pH water. On the palate that reads as a touch sweet.
- Can you use Buxton for baby formula?
- Probably not the first choice. Buxton falls outside the German infant-formula guidance because sodium at 24 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.

- Buxton is a still water, bottled without carbonation.
- Where does Buxton come from?
