About Hawaiian Springs
Hawaiian Springs began bottling its young, natural artesian water in
February 1995. Drawn from an artesian aquifer at the base of Mauna Loa on
the Big Island of Hawaii, Hawaiian Springs bottles its water directly from
the source within 30 days of falling as Arctic rain. Freshness, purity and
a naturally sweet taste distinguish Hawaiian Springs from other waters.
Today, Hawaiian Springs is expanding on the U.S. mainland and across Asia.
The brand is now sold by leading natural grocery stores such as Mollie
Stone's, Mother's Market, Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers and Whole Foods,
and through the company's online store at
