- Eptinger is a still water, full-bodied, clean and crisp, closing on a dry, mineral finish, with a bracing magnesium edge. It belongs to the Personal Trainer type in our sixteen-part typology, and the house tasting notes run dry sulfate, rich magnesium and very pure finish.
- Is Eptinger good for you?
- Eptinger is a regulated bottled water and safe to drink. The published analysis shows an intensely mineral water at 2222 mg/L dissolved solids, with 107 mg/L of magnesium (over the taste line) and 475 mg/L of calcium (a serious share of a day’s intake). Sodium sits at 3.2 mg/L, under the 20 mg/L line, so it suits a low-sodium diet.
- What minerals are in Eptinger?
- Eptinger carries calcium 475, magnesium 107 and sodium 3.2 mg/L over bicarbonate 280, sulfate 1352 and chloride 4.4 mg/L. Calcium leads the mineral profile with sulfate the main anion, at 2222 mg/L total dissolved solids. It also publishes 20 mg/L of silica, the beauty mineral.
- How much sodium is in Eptinger?
- Eptinger carries 3.2 mg/L of sodium. That is under the 20 mg/L line, low enough to suit a low-sodium diet.
- Is Eptinger hard or soft water?
- By its calcium and magnesium, Eptinger works out to 1616 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 Eptinger alkaline or acidic?
- Eptinger is effectively neutral at pH 7, neither an alkaline nor an acidic water.
- Can you use Eptinger for baby formula?
- Probably not the first choice. Eptinger falls outside the German infant-formula guidance because sulfate at 1352 is over the 240 mg/L line. Pick a still water that clears all three limits, boil and cool it before mixing, and ask your pediatrician.
