Great Springs’ model is unique in the water industry; we focus on locally-sourced, sustainable drinking water. We do not operate a bottling plant; we never package our spring water in single-use materials; we minimize transport distance from spring water source to unit; and our stainless steel tankers make no additional stops. For every 5 gallons of water dispensed from our water refill stations, we save 40 single-use plastic water bottles from entering waste management systems.

Great Springs encourages shoppers to reduce, reuse, and refill. If you already have water 3 gallon or 5 gallon water jugs we encourage you to bring those to our water refill stations. With proper care and sanitization, refillable water jugs should have a very long lifecycle. This minimizes any plastic from entering landfills. If you are not currently in possession of a 5 gallon water jug, we will be selling branded high-quality Great Springs jugs on online store coming soon. In the meantime, you can purchase water jugs here.

When it comes to choosing the right type of water for you, it's important to understand the differences between spring water and purified water. Spring water is sourced naturally from underground springs, and is generally considered to be a more natural and pure form of water. On the other hand, purified water goes through various filtration processes to remove impurities and contaminants, resulting in a more consistent and predictable product. While both types of water can be considered safe to drink, the choice between spring water and purified water ultimately comes down to personal preference and individual needs. Whether you prioritize taste, environmental impact, or health benefits, it's important to make an informed decision about the type of water you consume.

Spring water is a natural source of minerals that can provide various health benefits. The minerals found in spring water vary depending on the location and type of spring.

Calcium and magnesium, for example, help regulate blood pressure and prevent osteoporosis, while potassium helps maintain healthy heart function. Drinking spring water can also help improve digestion and boost the immune system. So, next time you refill your 5 gallon jug with spring water, remember that you are not only quenching your thirst but also providing your body with essential minerals.
