As many of you know lately we’ve been more interested in drinking higher quality water.
We recently watched the documentary called Tapped which I’ll share more about below.
That was the straw the broke the camels back in terms of kicking us in the pants to stop drinking plastic tea from water bottles.
I’ve been learning about structured and vortexed spring water for years but needed something to get our butt in gear to actually make the transition. I hope this post will help you determine what accessories you need to get started and how to actually store your water.
I hope this post will help you if you’d like to figure out how to start drinking spring water.
I’ll be sharing…
When I think of how much water I use it really starts to add up. As far as drinking water I don’t drink all that much.
Usually in one day I’ll drink about a liter of water upon waking. But I use water to make my water kefirs, kombucha, chia seed puddings, reishi and medicinal teas, a brine for making sauerkraut, almond milk, my dogs water and a smoothie or two per day.
So indirectly I do consume lots of water. I recently watched a documentary called Tapped which is all about the water industry. Unfortunately the makers of that movie didn’t really understand why drinking tap water is just as bad as drinking bottled water.
It really motivated us to avoid exposing ourselves to plastic bottles because of the xenoestrogens (and other chemicals that leach) which affect hormone levels in the body. It also motivated us because we don’t want to support these big companies and corporations. On another level, we also don’t want to participate in destroying our planet that God has given us stewardship over.
All that being said we wanted to start drinking higher quality water. If you watch the water videos called H2o Magic, on our resourses page, you can learn more about what water is and what it is not. You’ll learn how it becomes your blood in about 30 minutes. You’ll learn about structured water, and how the earth is the best carbon filter ever created.
But after watching Tapped we felt like we had no choices. We can’t drink bottled water any more, and we don’t want to drink tap water. So what should we do? Well we found a spring and started harvesting fresh spring water.
I wrote a whole post about it actually.
I’ve seen lots of youtube video about getting spring water, its benefits but nothing about where they bought their bottles, how they keep it cold, the best ways to store it or things like that.
Hopefully this post helps answer some of those questions.
I hope you find a little value in this post should you ever decide to do something as crazy as we did and start driving to a spring every now and then and harvesting your own spring water.
Below I’ve listed some of the accessories I used to make the experience a little easier. All of the links below open in a new window and link to Amazon. I do get a small commission should you choose to purchase any of these items. But that’s not why I’m writing this post. I really want to help you if you’re looking to get your own mountain spring water from the source.
I’ll explain each item and why.
6.5 Gallon Glass Carboys I put a link here to the exact bottles I got from Amazon. I would suggest that you find a local brewery in your area I found mine from the Better Bottle website and I got mine for $30 each. I went with the 6.5 gallon vs the 6 gallon or 5 gallon because the more we can harvest at one time the less we’ll have to drive to the spring which saves gas and drive time (about 2 hours one way for us). When filled these things can weigh about 75 pounds. They’re made in Mexico and really cool looking. What I Paid:$150.00 |

Total Money I Spent: $336.36 (not counting shipping or materials for the carboy shield. I forgot to keep the receipt! I also am not counting gas to and from the spring every 4 months)
What I like is that once you buy a these materials, you don’t have to buy them ever again. Assuming you take care of your stuff. Then all you have to do is pay for gas to get to your spring and you’re good to go.
If you live close to a spring or see yourself drinking from a particular spring the rest of your life, you may also want to get your water tested in a lab just to make sure. You can always try Ultimate Labs located in San Diego California if you’re in my area.

I have been told that I need to get the air out of the bottle otherwise bacteria will form. I should use an airlock stopper, as you would when brewing alcohol. Is this true?
Hey Nick. That sounds about right to me. Remember, the colder you keep it and the darker you keep it (no light hitting the bottle) the slower it’ll grow bacteria. 🙂

An article about where we get water… all the way across this great country from where you are!! (I just sent a comment to you)
Thank you for this article. We just started going to a place in South Carolina called God’s Healing Acres to get water. Supposedly the water helped heal a severely wounded revolutionary war soldier, so it has been used for years. We have made one trip and will be making our second trip this week. It’s about an hour one way from our home. We use BPA free plastic 5 gallon jugs we bought at Whole Foods. Your article has me thinking we may need to go a different route…. with the glass jugs. I also save all my gallon jugs that we buy apple juice in and fill those. Thanks for the storage tips.
That’s awesome! Have you added that spring to http://www.findaspring.com yet? We’ve got 6.5 gallon glass containers but they’re too heavy to lift without those straps. Happy spring watering! 🙂
is using cork lid for water bad for health because i’ve searched and found in many websites that says cork is harmful for health. and please give me the source (for your answer)
Hi Nano I haven’t read anything about that as of yet. When I do I’ll report back here. Thanks!
I have some heath related issues and can not lug those 5 gallon containers around. What suggestions do you have for smaller ones like 3 gallon glass containers and accessories?
The straps make all the difference for me!
I enjoyed your helpful article. I live in the beautiful North Georgia mountains and am fortunate enough to live in an area called Spring Place / Chatsworth Ga. I can go daily if I like to a local spring about a mile from my home. The water bubbles up into a pool about 10 feet across. It’s shaded and the water is very cold. It’s quite simple to have a large glass dispenser jar at the sink in the kitchen and the bathroom. It will make quite a difference washing ones hair and face in spring water. Hair will be very soft and shiny.
Thanks Dianne for sharing. I love spring water so much!
Hi thanks for this post. I’m trying workout why our large water container keeps growing mold. I think it’s mold anyway. It’s green. It is a plastic container – bpa free- and we haven’t been to carefull about keeping it out of sunlight. Any idea?
I remember talking with Daniel Vitalis and he was saying that (for him) he doesn’t concern himself with the mold if it’s high quality spring water. I usually throw it out. The key is keeping it dark, cold and in glass if possible. I put them on the floor of the garage so the cold floor keeps it a bit cooler and keep boxes over them to keep the sunlight out. Let me know how it goes for you and if you come up with better solutions! Justin 🙂
Thank you so much for making this post. My boyfriend and I are gearing up to start harvesting spring water and this has been immensely helpful. I was wondering if you could speak to the water going bad at all? We live in a city apartment and we’re going to do our best to keep it dark and cool, but I’m concerned that we won’t know how to tell whether our water has gone bad or not. Can it go bad? I would really appreciate some guidance! Thank you so much.

Hi Kara,
If you have access to a garage that could help especially if you have glass bottles that can sit right on the cool pavement. If you don’t, then keep them as dark as possible. Apparently light breaks down the hexagonal bonds in the water and that’s when moss can start to grow. Look out for green moss that’ll start to grow inside. I had that happen once also. The most challenging part for us is to figure out how to keep the water cold. If you come up with any ideas please share!! I hope that helps.
Hey Nate! Great question. Right now I just use a regular glass mason jar. But I plan to buy a 1 liter glass bottle from Surthrival. See link below. I’m a big fan of them. Since light removes the structure of water, it’s best to limit light exposure for long term storage.

Hey Nick. I would go to http://www.findaspring.com and search there. Hope that helps!
