Brisbane Glider Springs Mineral Water

Pure Elements Therapy is excited to announce we will be selling pristine local mineral water direct from an aquifer that runs through Glider Springs, a beautiful property just outside of Brisbane. This water is a true source of LIVING WATER containing all the essential trace elements and alkaline levels that brings the body to a natural state of vibrant harmony. Behind this remarkable water supply is an amazing story of a family who love to live in the surrounds of untouched rainforest and by chance found themselves above a vital resource – MINERAL RICH LIVING WATER!

Paul, the owner of Glider Springs, is a sustainability consultant for businesses who want to transform their workplace practises by using cleaner, renewable energy and also implement various other processes that make businesses more environmentally friendly. Paul and his family invited us to their ‘Mineral Water Direct’ open day to see first-hand where the water was coming from and how it was being collected.

What I learned from Paul was inspiring. Never before have I seen such a simple and sustainable process be applied to something so important – water! The entire process of extracting the water; filtering it of dirt; and then clearing it of any bad bacteria with a UV light; is all powered by solar panels. This is truly a zero carbon product. The water is then put into a stainless steel tank and delivered directly. There is no undue processing of the water, no leaching of plastics, no use of chemicals – just pure local mineral water with no carbon footprint (any cleaning of the tank or other devises that come in contact with the water is organic).

I asked Paul if it was his intention to extract water from this property when he first purchased it. He said no and explained that it occurred to him after several years of being on the property that due to the structure of the land it was likely there would be an underground aquifer right under his nose. He took a huge risk and hired a specialist to drill down and see if they could find water. It was a long shot but remarkably they hit water the very first try. What was equally shocking was the quality of the water.

The water from the Glider Springs aquifer has been tested by the council on several occasions and continues to display consistently high mineral content and a ph level of 7.3 which is perfect for human consumption (the water is tested regularly). What makes this water so special is that it is ‘LIVING’ water, meaning it holds an electrical charge. Many people are chronically dehydrated regardless of how much water they consume, whether that be purified tap water or bottled water, because the water is dead of electrical charge. It is true bottled water is often better than water out of the tap in terms of its chemical content but still most bottled water is of little benefit because it lacks electrical charge. Water loses its charge when it is has been over processed due to industry standards for mass production of bottled water. There are also huge health risks because of the types of plastic bottles being used to store the water.

When people consume highly mineralized natural water that has NOT been overly processed (very rare), or had chemicals added or leached into it, they begin to hydrate. This is believed to be the result of consuming living water full of electrical charge due to having the right amount of trace minerals.

It is important to understand that the body is electric and that everything we consume must have an electric charge including air, water, earth, and food. Each cell of the body holds an electrical charge which is largely determined by the balance of electrolytes, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium in and outside of the cell. Water such as that being offered from Glider Springs holds the right balance of electrolytes, and therefore naturally our body can return to its natural optimal state of hydration by drinking it on a daily basis.

In bringing this natural resource to the community Paul has ensured sustainability is paramount. To ensure the aquifer is not abused by demand Paul has created a business model which is to supply 500 litre stainless steel water tanks to homes and/or local distributors rather than mass produce bottled water. This ensures the quality of the water is maintained and also drastically reduces hazardous wastes such as plastic bottles. Also there is a cap on how many 500 litre tanks will be distributed in total to ensure the aquifer is able to continually replenish. Distributors such as ourselves (Pure Elements Therapy), will be supplying local consumers 10 litre non-leaching containers to refill when required.
