Among the mineral waters available in Romania in the h2oMatch database, these have the lowest sodium values.
Romania is less well-known internationally as a mineral water source, but it offers several low-sodium options - particularly from the Carpathian mountain regions, where natural spring filtration produces very clean water compositions.

Waters like Aqua Carpatica have gained recognition beyond Romania precisely because of their very low sodium and nitrate levels, among the lowest in the h2oMatch database.
For consumers in Romania or those sourcing waters available in Romania abroad, the low-sodium category is one of the strongest aspects of the country's mineral water offering.
A water is suitable for low-sodium diets when sodium is below 20 mg/L: all ten waters in the top comfortably meet this criterion.
Here too the variant matters: Carpatina Plata has just 0.6 mg/L of sodium, but Carpatina Light reaches 58.7 mg/L — different springs of the same brand.

FAQ
Which mineral water has the least sodium in Romania?
Carpatina Plata leads with just 0.6 mg/L, followed by Aquatique and Aqua Carpatica (both 0.7 mg/L). Values come from the official labels; the full top 10 is in the table above.
Is there any mineral water with no sodium at all?
No — every natural mineral water contains at least trace amounts of sodium. The lowest in Romania, Carpatina Plata, has 0.6 mg/L: more than thirty times below the 20 mg/L threshold for low-sodium diets.
Does the sparkling variant have more sodium than the still one?
Carbon dioxide itself adds no sodium, but the source may be different: Carpatina Plata has 0.6 mg/L, while Carpatina Light reaches 58.7 mg/L. For brands with separate sources, the gap can be tens of times — the variant on the label is what decides.
How much sodium do two litres of a low-sodium water provide?
Two litres of Carpatina Plata provide 1.2 mg of sodium, compared with the WHO recommendation of less than 2000 mg per day.
When is a water suitable for low-sodium diets?
When sodium stays below 20 mg/L, according to the labelling criterion. All ten waters in the Romanian top meet this criterion with a very wide margin.
All values are based on official mineral water labels and the h2oMatch database.
