FAQs
Mountain Falls is a premium natural mineral water brand dedicated to providing high-quality, sustainably sourced hydration. Our mission is to provide pure, refreshing, and mineral-rich water while actively contributing to a greener planet.
Mountain Falls water is sourced from the Klein Drakensberg springs at the foot of the Klein River Mountain Range between Hermanus and the Overberg. Our water is the most naturally balanced water in South Africa.
Mountain Falls Water ensures naturally pure and mineral-rich water. Our water maintains a neutral alkaline pH of 7 for optimal hydration and contains essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, supporting overall health. With a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of 345 mg/L, it offers a well-balanced mineral composition. Additionally, Mountain Falls is committed to sustainability.
Mineral Water
Source:
Comes from underground reservoirs or springs with naturally occurring minerals.
Characteristics:
Contains at least 250 ppm of total dissolved minerals like magnesium, calcium, and sodium, which are retained from the source and must contain 250 or more parts per million (mg/l). Naturally filtered through rock or soil, essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium are retained, which are beneficial for health.
Benefits:
Supports bone health, digestion, and cardiovascular function due to its rich mineral content. Often enjoyed for its distinctive taste, shaped by the unique mineral composition of the source.
Spring Water
Source:
Originates from an underground source where water naturally flows to the surface and is collected or alternatively tapped. Spring water does not need to have a stable composition of minerals which differentiates it from mineral water.
Characteristics:
Naturally filtered through rock or soil. It may retain minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which are beneficial for health.
Benefits:
Offers a fresh taste due to its natural origin and filtration. Can contribute to overall well-being by supplementing the body with nutrients.
Artesian Water
Source:
Drawn from a confined aquifer under natural pressure.
Characteristics:
Often considered pristine due to minimal external contamination.
Benefits:
Contains naturally occurring minerals for health and hydration. Smooth taste and purity make it a premium choice for drinking.
Purified Water
Source:
Can originate from any source, generally a municipal source (tap) but undergoes extensive purification processes like reverse osmosis or distillation.
Characteristics:
Stripped of impurities but also of beneficial minerals.
Drawbacks:
Lacks the essential minerals naturally found in water, offering no inherent health benefits. Can have a flat or bland taste due to the absence of minerals.
Usage:
Primarily valued for its purity in specific applications (e.g., industrial or medical uses).
Reverse Osmosis Water
Source:
Can originate from any source, generally a municipal source (tap) filtered through a reverse osmosis process that removes nearly all dissolved solids, impurities, and minerals.
Characteristics:
Described as “dead water”, with almost all natural minerals removed.
Drawbacks:
Lacks health benefits as it is devoid of the minerals essential for hydration and nutrition. Overconsumption may disrupt the body’s mineral balance, as reverse osmosis water can leach minerals from the body.
Usage:
Suitable where high levels of purity are required but not ideal for long-term consumption as a primary water source.
