Mineral and Spring Water: What’s the Difference?

When selecting water for your hospitality venue in the West Coast, it’s crucial to understand the distinction between mineral water and spring water, especially as discerning guests increasingly seek out premium hydration.

Defining Mineral Water

Mineral water originates from a protected underground source, boasting a stable and naturally rich mineral profile that includes calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Its composition remains unaltered and it’s bottled directly at the source, preserving its authentic taste and health benefits.
Mountain Falls mineral water, captured at the Klein River mountain range, is renowned across South Africa for its balanced pH7, subtle mineral notes, and crisp, refreshing finish.
This prized water is endorsed by the Fine Water Society and meets international labeling standards for authenticity and traceability.

Defining Spring Water

Spring water also comes from underground aquifers. It is bottled at, or near the source and benefits from natural filtration, often carrying a lighter mineral composition compared to mineral water.
The quality and mineral profile of spring water may fluctuate with geology and source, which can impact both taste and nutritional value.
However, like mineral water, spring water in South Africa must meet strict standards for purity and labeling.

Taste and Health Benefits

Both mineral and spring water offer hydration and contain healthful minerals, though mineral water is more likely to provide a unique taste profile and consistent mineral content. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium not only support vital body functions but contribute to water’s flavour and texture.
While some spring waters may taste smoother or less “salty,” mineral water is often preferred in upmarket hospitality settings for its depth and character.
