Our Source

Glacier water from Mt. Rainier is the finest drinking water on earth.

Virtually all of the bottled water sold in the world is drawn from either municipal water supplies (river, surface reservoir or tap water) or from underground water sources (well water or spring water) - all exposed to varying degrees of contamination through contact with environmental or underground pollutants and chemicals.

Towering at 14,411 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier supports one of the world's largest single peak glacial systems. It has over 35 square miles of ice with 26 named glaciers and numerous unnamed ice fields. The Carbon Glacier is the largest glacier on Mount Rainier and the source for our glacier water. This massive glacier, with ice over 700 feet thick and 3.5 miles long, contains more ice volume than any glacier in the continental United States.

Carbon Glacier rests on top of a volcanic port and melts from the bottom up . This natural "under-melting" process results in pure glacier water which is over 10,000 years old and contains naturally occurring minerals and high oxygen content. Year round flows from the base of the Carbon Glacier average over 2,500 gallons per second.

Free from all commercial and residential activities, the Carbon Glacier is the most pristine, best tasting, and uncontaminated water source known in the world and is the sole source of our glacier water. Our tanker truck withdraws 6,000 gallons of glacier water each time it makes a trip to our exclusive source on the Carbon River.
