What Is Spring Water?

Spring water naturally flows from underground aquifers to the surface through layers of volcanic rock and sandstone, where it’s gently filtered by nature itself.This process gives it its signature fresh, clean taste and balanced mineral composition, without chemical treatment or artificial additives.

Spring water is:

  • Naturally filtered and naturally alkaline

  • Smooth, clean, and balanced in taste

  • Bottled directly at the source for ultimate purity

Every Aqua To Go product is filled at our Aquaworks water-only bottling line, ensuring nothing but pure Hepburn Region spring water — no cross-contamination, no compromise.

What Is Mineral Water?

Mineral water also originates underground but contains higher, consistent mineral levels such as calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate.This gives it a stronger, saltier taste — often found in imported European brands like San Pellegrino or Santa Vittoria.

By contrast, Aqua To Go’s Australian spring water is lighter, fresher, and ideal for everyday hydration — whether you’re working, studying, or relaxing at home.

What About Sparkling Water?

Sparkling water is simply water infused with natural carbon dioxide (CO₂) for a gentle fizz.Aqua To Go’s 375 mL lightly sparkling cans offer the perfect balance between refreshment and purity — with soft, refined bubbles that elevate the drinking experience without overpowering it.

Packaged in 100 % recyclable aluminium, our sparkling cans are great for offices, hospitality, and events.

  • Mineral water — heavier, stronger mineral taste

  • Sparkling spring water — the perfect mix of purity and refreshment

With Aqua To Go, you’re drinking pure Australian spring water that’s responsibly sourced, packaged sustainably, and available exclusively at Officeworks.

Difference Between Spring Water and Mineral Water

Spring water and mineral water are both sourced from natural springs, but they have distinct characteristics:

Spring Water

  • Source: Derived from natural springs where water flows to the surface.

  • Mineral Content: Typically contains fewer minerals compared to mineral water.

  • Processing: Generally filtered and treated to ensure purity, but minimal processing is done to maintain its natural qualities.

Mineral Water

  • Source: Comes from mineral springs that naturally contain various minerals and trace elements.

  • Mineral Content: Rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which can vary depending on the source.

  • Regulation: Must meet specific regulations regarding mineral content and purity.

Conclusion

While both spring water and mineral water offer hydration, the key difference lies in their mineral content and source characteristics. Spring water is generally lighter in minerals, while mineral water is celebrated for its rich mineral profile.
