- Is Vikos hard or soft water?
- By its calcium and magnesium, Vikos works out to 259 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 Vikos alkaline or acidic?

Still boil and cool any water before mixing formula, and take feeding advice from your pediatrician rather than a water site.
