Water, or H2O, is one of the most essential and plentiful compounds on Earth. Existing in gaseous, solid, and liquid states, it is tasteless and odourless at room temperature.
Artesian Water vs. Spring Water
While they’re similar, artesian and spring water aren’t quite the same. They can be, but only in certain instances.
Spring water is any water that flows naturally at the land surface.
So technically, a flowing artesian well is an artesian spring. However, a regular artesian well is not a spring, as it doesn’t flow out of the earth.
Maybe a little confusing? Maybe just a little!
Artesian Water
Source: Artesian water comes from a well that taps into a confined aquifer, which is an underground layer of rock or soil that holds water under pressure.
How it reaches the surface: The water is forced to the surface due to the pressure within the aquifer, often without the need for a pump.
Characteristics: Artesian water is often described as having a crisp, clean taste and being naturally filtered as it travels through the layers of rock and soil.
Examples: Fiji Water is an example of a popular brand of artesian water.
Spring Water
Source: Spring water originates from groundwater that reaches the surface through natural geological formations.
How it reaches the surface: Water may flow naturally from a spring due to pressure, or it may be pumped from a well that accesses the spring.
Characteristics: The taste of spring water can vary depending on the mineral content of the source, but it's often described as refreshing and crisp.
Examples: Numerous bottled water brands, like Origin, label their water as spring water.
Key Differences
Pressure: Artesian water relies on the pressure within a confined aquifer, while spring water may or may not be under pressure.
Well vs. Spring: Artesian water typically comes from a well tapping into a confined aquifer, while spring water can come from a natural spring.
Flow to surface: Artesian water flows to the surface without the aid of a pump, while spring water may or may not require pumping.
When you consume food and drinks that contain these minerals, they distribute throughout your body and use their electrical energy to facilitate essential bodily functions.
Over the course of two years, Brunn worked with a network of innovative partners, including global water treatment company Pentair Everpure, to bring the house to life. The finished home is a testament to a new way forward in residential design.
Everpure Foodservice Filters are designed with three fundamental objectives:
1. To provide consistent, high quality water, day in and day out, regardless of the location of your restaurant.
2. To reduce limescale build-up in ice machines, coffee machines, espresso machines, steam cooking ovens, etc...
3. To provide an insurance policy on your business by reducing the risk of parasitic cysts, which in turn result in a boil-water advisory.
Just when swimming pools were invented depends on how you define a swimming pool. The earliest man-made pools of note were the Great Baths of Mohenjo-daro in Pakistan.
According to nct.org.uk: "Babies under six months should only drink tap water that has been boiled and cooled down. Water straight from the tap is not sterile so is not suitable for younger babies. Bottled water is not recommended for babies or toddlers as it may contain too much salt or sulphate"
Now, a study published in the journal Microplastics has found that drinking from plastic bottles may increase blood pressure as a result of microplastics entering the bloodstream, according to New York Post.
