America’s original premium spring water and the oldest continually operating bottled water company. The spring is tucked deep in the pristine wilderness of the Ouachitas, where its been bottling it in glass since 1871.
In 1871, pharmacist Peter Greene and his brother John were invested in the mineral springs of Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Ouachita Mountain mineral springs from which this water is sourced have long been known for their healing properties. From the indigenous Tunica, Caddo and Quapaw peoples to wellness seekers from around the world, humans have been drawn to these waters for thousands of years.
In the late 19th, those who couldn’t travel to the springs could be prescribed the water by their doctors. A Mountain Valley ad from the 1930s claimed it “combats acidity - flushes kidneys.” In 1955, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s physician advised him to drink Mountain Valley Spring Water following the president’s heart attack.
This water is a low minerality water but has 5X the amount of calcium as the Austin tap water.

Crazy water originates in Mineral Wells, Texas. Each bottle number varies in strength based on how deep they've dug into the earth. No. 4 at 120 feet, No. 3 at 360 feet, and No. 2 at 250 feet.
Legend has it that back in 1881, there was an old, crazy woman who would spend her days drinking the mineral water. People quickly noticed that this old lady's "crazies" began to dwindle. Thousands of people flocked to this magical well, christening it the "Crazy Well." More than 125 wells were dug across town, making Mineral Wells an important spa/wellness destination in the South, with more than 150,000 visitors traveling through.
Take your first water trip! Crazy Water offers walking tours, a wide variety of mineral baths and treatments to soothe whatever ails you and the Crazy Water hotel.

Since 1888, its water, drawn from a depth of 200 meters, dances with natural effervescence, a gift of the region's volcanic legacy. The unique geological conditions of the Volcanic Eifel region, combined with Gerolsteiner's commitment to preserving the natural purity of the water, result in a product that is not only flavorful but also recognized for its potential health benefits. The water's effervescence is a result of the high concentration of carbon dioxide that occurs naturally in the underground spring.
The mineral content of Gerolsteiner water has led to its reputation as a "wellness water." It is often chosen by those seeking a natural and healthy beverage. It contains about 30% of adult daily calcium and magnesium requirements.
You might want to pair this water with a hard cheese or roasted brussel sprouts.
