Same Salt composition: It has always maintained the same salt composition and taste ever since it came into existence.

Universal taste: Water tastes different at different places. Zamzam water’s appeal has always been universal.
This water has never been chemically treated or chlorinated as is the case with water pumped into the cities.Biological growth and vegetation usually takes place in most wells. This makes the water unpalatable owing to the growth of algae causing taste and odour problems. But in the case of the Zamzam water well, there wasn’t any sign of biological growth.
