NO, lots of brands have begun to use the word SELTZER for beverages that are actually soda, sweetened water, or even booze. Polar Seltzer is exclusively a sparkling recipe made with only three ingredients–water, bubbles and great taste. Polar Seltzer depends on better carbonation and higher quality flavor essences and no sodium. What to look for when shopping? Natural favors, no sodium, calories, caffeine or sweeteners.

Carbonation is an art form. The bubbles are “dissolved” into the water at near freezing temperatures and bottled without exposure to oxygen for maximum quality. For safety reasons home seltzer siphon machines cannot reach this level of carbonation because of the lack of pressure, cold temperature, and our proprietary natural flavors.
