Summary
Refreshe Drinking Water is a purified water product that includes added minerals like calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate to enhance taste and mineral content. While the purification process ensures a high level of purity and safety, the use of municipal water as a source results in a moderate penalty. The absence of harmful contaminants and the use of safe packaging materials contribute positively to its overall rating.
