Bathingin the Mineral Springs
The Water:
Our Melbourne hot mineral spring water has filtered into the Dandenong Ranges aquifer over a period of many years. This water absorbs minerals from rocks and mineral deposits. Water is drawn from an underground spring on the property and is pumped to the surface from a depth of approximately 80 metres.
All mineral water pools are treated with either Bromine or chlorine in order to maintain safe bathing (this is a requirement of the Victorian Government please see: https://www.health.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/migrated/files/collections/policies-and-guidelines/w/water-quality-guidelines-for-public-aquatic-facilities—managing-public-health-risks—2020.pdf
