Mineral character
Farris has an extreme profile for a sparkling water. Calcium is 28 mg/L, magnesium 31 mg/L, sodium 455 mg/L, sulphate 11 mg/L, chloride 667 mg/L, and bicarbonate 300 mg/L. Hardness is 198 mg/L as CaCO₃. The defining feature is the very high sodium at 455 mg/L combined with exceptional chloride at 667 mg/L, suggesting proximity to a salt-bearing geological formation. This is among the highest chloride readings in the TWD database for any water.
