Only 100% Natural Spring Water. Most other bottled waters start with municipal tap water & use a process called Reverse Osmosis Filtering to eliminate contaminantswhile also stripping away natural minerals. Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water contains only spring water made as nature intended, pure & natural, from the protected spring sources. It comes directly from the earth. Crystal Geyser is the only major U.S. bottled water company that bottles exclusively at the spring source. Its more difficult to do it this way, but upholds the company's commitment to uncompromised quality. All packaging is 100% recyclable. Beverage Type: Water; Flavor: Spring; Packing Type: Bottle; Capacity (Volume): 16.9 oz.
