This reference says Evian Water has pH 7.18

http://www.bottledwaterweb.com/bott/bt_140evian.html

Another reference on water says:

Pure water (distilled) has a pH of 7.0. Above that level is alkaline and

below is acid. One danger of acid tap water is the risk of copper (or

lead from solder or old lead pipes) being leached out into the drinking

water. AISO7 acidic water may lower the oral pH predisposing you to more

dental decay. You may wish to test your water a few times a year since

the seasons may change the pH.

[and also]

Some bottled mineral waters that are more alkaline include Deer Park

(New York) at a pH of 7.4, Evian (France) at 7.2, Mountain Valley

(Arkansas) at 7.6 and San Pellegrino (Italy) at 7.3. Saratoga Vichy (New

York) and Vichy Celestins (France) are the strongest alkaline waters.

Acidic waters include Spa Reine and Bru from Belgium, 5.8 and 6.5, and

Fachingen (Germany) at 6.1. Caddo Valley (Arkansas), Contrexeville

(France) and Vittel (France) are neutral at 7.0.

Oops, thanks for catching me on this error! I misread the " nitrate "

box on this page (17 becomes 13 with poor focus):

http://www.beagle.com.hk/distilled_water_comparison.htm

My main concern was that there's a lot of pH variation in so-called

spring or mineral waters due to varying mineral content, although

this page contradicts what I wrote earlier, by suggesting spring

water is generally healthier than mineral water. One would think the

more minerals in the water, the more alkaline the water would be.

FWIW, the Essentia brand has a pH of 9. It is small-clustered water

AKA ionizated or microwater. It is extremely silky smooth water.
