About Adobe Springs
The Adobe Springs flow at a rate of 75,000,000 gallons per
year, and contain 110 mg/L magnesium. Nearly all other American
bottled spring waters contain less than 6 mg/L magnesium. This
magnesium may prevent up to 40% of all heart disease. Two books
mention Adobe Springs as one of the world's healthiest waters,
thanks to the high magnesium content:
- In Search of the World's Best Water, by Bill
Sardi
- The Miracle of Magnesium, by Dr. Carolyn Dean
Adobe Springs is the source for multiple brands of bottled
water. One is bottled at the Seven-Up plant in Modesto, CA, under
their label, Noah's Spring Water, and distributed in the Central
Valley of California. Another brand, hiOsilver Oxygen Water, is
bottled in glass in Modesto. The water is oxygenated for extra
energy and to promote fresh breath.
The Adobe Springs are located in western Stanislaus County in
an area so remote that there are no schools or delivery of U. S.
mail. The area is so mountainous that no bottling plant can be
built at the springs, so the water is trucked out in "doubles"
carrying 6,000 gallons per load. The owner is Paul Mason, who
live at the springs with his wife, Janet, and two children. The
Masons spend most of their time doing research on the health
benefits of magnesium and lobbying for greater recognition by the
FDA of the health benefits of magnesium in water.
The elevation at the Adobe Springs is 1,375 feet above sea
level, which keeps the springs pure. At that elevation in such
rocky terrain, there is no agriculture or industry using
insecticides, herbicides, chemicals, no smog, or anything else.
The area is a rugged wilderness, too steep for any
development.
Adobe Springs water is sold in bulk. Contract bottling of
private brands is available from the Seven Up franchisee in
Modesto, CA. Over 70 million gallons per annum are still
available to bottlers.
The following table is taken from a chemical examination
report for Adobe Springs. It was prepared by Alpha Analytical
Laboratories Inc. of Ukiah, California on 10/6/95. "ND" means
None Detected.
