This Pristine Rocky Mountain Spring Water bottled at Source, tastes delicious and the BPA-free lined lightweight recyclable bottle means your well water will too. The future of our planet and our environment depends on the sustainable work we do today.

From a Water Sommelier.
“When it says purified water, or distilled water on the label, I would never touch that. That means it’s nothing other than actually boiled up tap water.
I’m always saying ‘When water’s ‘pure,’ don’t drink it.'”
He goes on to describe that water needs minerals, such as magnesium and potassium—things that help your body function and make it healthier. And when you drink purified water that doesn’t have those minerals, your body is still looking for them. So you’re losing minerals from the rest of your body because the water you’re ingesting doesn’t have any.”
