What is Spring Water?

When we talk about spring water, we’re talking about water in its most natural, untouched form. It’s water that rises to the earth’s surface from underground aquifers, where it has been gently filtered through layers of ancient rock and mineral formations. This slow, natural journey shapes the taste, purity, and mineral balance that give true spring water its character — and it’s exactly what defines Little Hampton Spring Water.
Our water is sourced from the pristine Hepburn Region of Victoria, famed for its mineral-rich springs. Every bottle and can is filled with spring water that is naturally pure, balanced, and refreshing — no added processing, no artificial treatment, just nature doing what it does best.
How Does Spring Water Form?
Spring water begins its journey as rainfall. Over time, it travels deep underground, moving slowly through layers of basalt, rock, and mineral-rich earth. As it filters, it absorbs trace minerals like calcium and magnesium — the very elements that contribute to a smooth, clean taste and support overall wellbeing.
When the water reaches natural pressure, it rises to the surface as a spring. What makes Little Hampton unique is that our springs are not artificially drilled or forced. They are naturally occurring and protected — meaning the water retains its natural composition, flavour, and clarity.
Why Is Spring Water Different from Purified Water?
Not all bottled waters are created equal.
Spring Water
Naturally filtered through rock and earth
Contains natural minerals
Maintains its original purity and flavour
No artificial processing required
Purified / Processed Water
Often treated using reverse osmosis or chemicals
Minerals are removed, then sometimes added back artificially
Taste can be flat or neutral
Spring water’s mineral profile is one of the key reasons it tastes alive — gentle, balanced, and refreshing.
