Iceland Spring water is an Icelandic brand of bottled water, bottled by Iceland Spring ehf. of Reykjavík, Iceland. The water is sourced from Heiðmörk, the same source as tap water for the city of Reykjavík.[citation needed] It is more expensive in Iceland, where it is bottled, than as an imported product elsewhere.[1][2] Iceland Spring claim the water is chemically basic with a pH of 8.88, 75 times more base than the 7 pH of pure water, but testing by the American Council on Science and Health in 2015 resulted in a pH of 7.64, only 4 times more base than pure water (the pH scale is logarithmic).[3] It has a metallic taste.[4]
