Carbonated water, also known as sparkling water, fizzy water, seltzer, and water with gas, (collectively as an aerated beverage), is plain water into which carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved, and is the major and defining component of most soft drinks. The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation. It results in the formation of carbonic acid (which has the chemical formula H2CO3). Carbonated water, also known as soda water, can be produced in the home by "charging" a refillable seltzer bottle by filling it with water and then adding carbon dioxide. Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottler. These additives are included to emulate the slightly salty taste of homemade soda water. The process can also occur naturally to produce carbonated mineral water, such as in Mihalkovo in the Bulgarian Rhodopes, or Medzitlija in Macedonia. From Wikipedia under the

There's a product called sparkling water, it's just water with carbonation. You could also use tonic or club soda. All should be available in the soda aisle of your grocery store. Answered by Beth - Thu Mar 30 15:24:47 2006 Is sparkling water and mineral water the same or not? Q. I just bought a bottle of Arrowhead's sparkling water and I assumed it was another name for mineral water. But then I looked it up online and I guess they're not the same??

Sparkling water can be any water with added carbonation. Essentially if you had a soda siphon and made your tap water carbonated it could be described as sparkling water. In stores, sparkling water is typically either spring or municipal water with added carbonation. Mineral water on the other hand has higher levels of minerals in it which typically affect the taste. San Pellegrino and Perrier are both examples of sparkling mineral waters. There are also still mineral waters out there that don't contain any carbonation, Calistoga makes one brand of it. Seltzer is usually carbonated tap/municipal water and is often called "club soda" if it's behind the bar, when in reality club soda is carbonated water with a higher sodium content… [cont.] Answered by you_likea_the_sauce - Wed Sep 17 23:59:39 2008 Why does my sparkling water go flat so quickly?
Q. Ive been making Italian sodas at home and work for fun but I have a major problem with the water going flat so fast. I've tried club soda once or twice but didnt notice any difference. Any advice?
