Most bottled waters sold today are processed from treated municipal water sources. They are filtered and processed to a point where all that is left is a tasteless liquid devoid of the naturally-occurring mineral electrolytes like calcium, magnesium, potassium and numerous healthful trace elements. These are the same mineral electrolytes which give Great Glacier its unique health benefits and wonderfully crisp taste.

An independent lab in California led by Dr. Claude Matar has tested all of the leading brands of bottled water products, including Great Glacier's natural artesian water. Dr. Matar's passion is the study of hydration as it relates to the health of the human body. He indicated that Great Glacier's water is naturally about a hundred (100) times more alkaline (a higher pH) than most of the leading national brands of bottled water he has tested. The benefit is enormous, as electrolyte-rich alkaline water is by far more effectively hydrating: healthful to the human body.

Not only does alkaline water taste good, but it can help your cells and tissues maintain an alkaline environment, essential for most cellular functions including effective detoxification and the removal of toxins from the body.

Great Glacier water is drawn from aquifers found more than 250 feet beneath the ground and is the result of the glaciers that once covered the central area of Wisconsin. This source is naturally protected by deep overlayers of clay above our aquifer thereby preventing contamination from the infiltration of nitrates, pesticides and other pollutants. Spring water comes from essentially the same source, but it has to come to the surface allowing potential industrial and agricultural contaminants to come in contact with the water.

We are one of the few natural waters that qualify by the FDA as a protected source which guarantees that the gold medal quality of our water will never change.
