What is Spring Water? A Complete Guide to Natural Spring Water

Always wondered what makes spring water different from the water that comes out of your kitchen tap? In simple terms, spring water comes straight from the earth. It’s water that occurs naturally from an underground aquifer and is pre-filtered by layers of rock and soil. It's water that has naturally risen to the surface, so it can be harvested without disturbing the surrounding earth.

Many Australians now choose spring water over tap water for their daily hydration. This guide will explore where it exactly comes from, how it differs from other water sources, and why it's currently having its moment in Australian culture.

What is Spring Water?

Despite spring water coming from the ground, it flows from a clean source of ancient rock formations underground.

Australian food standards have legal classifications of what actually counts as natural spring water to protect consumers. It must meet the below requirements:

Natural Flow: It must flow naturally to the surface via an underground aquifer to be collected.
Intact Mineral Profile: The naturally occurring minerals must be sustained from its source.
Minimal Processing: The process must not involve any intense chemical treatment or alteration, to ensure every sip is just as nature intended.

Where Does Spring Water Come From?

Spring water goes on a decades-long journey from the earth to your glass. The process follows these stages:

Precipitation: Rain that falls over pristine natural sites seeps deep into the ground through soil and porous rock.
Natural Filtration: Rain trickles downward through layers of earth, from sand, clay, and rock, which naturally removes the water of its organic impurities.
Underground Collection: Aquifers are underground rock chambers, where the water pools while being exposed to a balanced blend of essential minerals.
Flow to the Surface: The pressure from underground makes the purified water ascend to the surface via a fresh flowing spring for collection.

With Kiewa Valley spring water, this process happens from the natural beauty of the Flakney Ranges for our Wodonga based customers and Yarra Valley for those Melbourne based. Our environment takes care of us, so we take care of every drop, ensuring each bottle of spring water delivery is naturally immaculate before arriving at your door.

Benefits of Drinking Natural Spring Water

Spring water delivers a crisp taste and a balanced mineral profile for everyday hydration.

Choosing natural spring water over regular tap water at home or in your workplace offers many benefits, including:

Naturally Occurring Minerals: Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium are naturally present in spring water and have many health benefits, such as hydration, bone and heart support, and muscle recovery.

Filtered Hydration: Without the nasty chemicals, the taste speaks for itself. You can expect an exceptional freshness in every sip.

Everyday Wellness Support: Free from additives and chemicals like chlorine, you can stay refreshed and hydrated with truly natural water.

Low Contamination Risk: Since the water is sourced from aquifers deep underground, they are protected areas naturally shielded from any pollution or surface runoff that you may find in water from dams.
