Start with verifiable things
For bottled water you can compare the manufacturer, declared source, volume, batch number, date, minerals and storage instructions. If the product is presented as DDW, add the deuterium concentration and the relevant analysis document.
Do not mix properties
Packaging does not define isotopic content, and mineral content does not automatically define reduced deuterium. Each specification answers a different question and should not be used to assume all others.
Compare purposes, not slogans
Two products can have different positioning: taste, mineralization, origin, or isotopic concentration. Choose the information that matches your purpose, without turning marketing formulations into health recommendations.
Conclusion
A good comparison puts data side by side and keeps the limits of each statement.
