When you have the best spring water, you treat it as such. That’s why, at Mountain Valley Spring Water, we have bottled our water in glass since our start in 1871. Every glass water bottle we fill, from our 2.5 and 5-gallon glass jugs to our 1-liter and single-serving sizes, comes packed with the mineral-rich refreshment our fans know and love. Better yet: We make that refreshment available for convenient delivery to home or office.
Our spring water comes from the earth. We source every glass-bottled sip of Mountain Valley from our natural spring located in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. This water started its journey some 3,500 years ago, when it fell from the clouds as rain and snow. Those droplets sank deep into the earth, collecting in natural, granite-lined aquifers. As the aquifers filled, excess water pushed back up to the surface through layers of limestone, shale, marble and quartz. These striations infuse our water with traces of calcium, magnesium and potassium. The result: a sodium-free water packed with many of the healthful minerals that can often be lacking in modern diets.
In addition to a healthy kick, these minerals give Mountain Valley Spring Water the crisp, refreshing flavor that’s made us the most award-winning bottled water in the U.S. These naturally infused trace minerals also give our water balance. Mountain Valley Spring Water has a slightly alkaline pH of 7.2 to 7.4. This balanced alkalinity can help naturally detoxify the body by neutralizing acids.
Health experts at the Mayo Clinic note that studies suggest drinking alkaline water may help stave off bone loss. It may also help prevent cancers and heart disease. A 2017 study found that drinking alkaline water while also switching to a plant-based diet helped treat reflux as much as traditional acid-reflux drugs.
The benefits of alkaline, mineral-rich waters such as Mountain Valley Spring Water don’t end there. The naturally infused calcium, magnesium and potassium found in our water are readily absorbed by the body. These minerals are necessary for our bodies to perform their most basic functions — from the beating of our hearts to the flex of our feet — and are critical for optimal cardiovascular, neural and bone health.
Due to the ionic nature of waterborne minerals, such as those found in Mountain Valley Spring Water, those minerals are more readily absorbed through the body’s gastrointestinal tract. Several studies point to mineral-rich waters as an important source of nutrients in the diet.
Here’s a look at what exactly those minerals do:
- Calcium: While famously critical to the health of bones and teeth, calcium also plays a vital role in sending and receiving nerve signals and helping blood to properly clot
- Magnesium: This mineral regulates muscle and nerve function, blood-sugar levels and blood pressure. It’s also crucial to more than 300 of the body’s biochemical reactions.
- Potassium: Critical to heart health, potassium helps regulate blood pressure. It also regulates fluid balance, controls muscle contraction and transmits nerve signals between organs.
With so much healthful goodness packed into each sip of Mountain Valley Spring Water, we work hard to ensure each drop, and the minerals it contains, is protected and preserved. That’s why Mountain Valley is the only bottled water company to offer our water in 2.5 and 5-gallon glass water-cooler jugs for delivery to home or office. Unlike plastic water-cooler jugs, glass contains no harmful chemicals — no BPA, no phthalates, no PVC or polycarbonate — that could leach into and affect the quality and flavor of our water. Glass is also 100% recyclable as well as reusable.
In fact, Mountain Valley recycles our one-of-a-kind glass water-cooler jugs the old fashioned way. When one of our used 2.5 or 5-gallon glass water bottles is finished, our delivery drivers collect it and transport it back to Mountain Valley headquarters where it is cleaned, sanitized and refilled with our crisp, purely sourced spring water. Then, said bottle goes back onto a truck for delivery to another lucky home or office — and the cycle refreshingly repeats.
This constant cycle of perfection is what we at Mountain Valley strive to maintain. We know exactly how balanced, crisp and healthful our purely sourced spring water naturally is, and we do everything in our power to maintain that healthful balance from our spring to your cup. This isn’t farm-to-table fare, it’s mountain-to-glass. And we love that.
We work hard to protect our spring and the 2,000 lushly forested acres surrounding it. We bottle our water in clean, inert and recyclable glass to ensure its award-winning flavor, healthful minerals and balancing pH remain intact. We deliver these glass bottles of natural hydration coast to coast across the country, from our protected, all-natural spring to your doorstep.
This, to us, is the best way to stay perfectly balanced.
