Why is spring water considered safe to drink?

133 viewsBiologyOther

So, the spring water comes from an underground layer of water, formed from different materials (gravel, sand, silt, rocks)
” Spring water has a natural filtration process through bedrock, which is why springs look clean and pure when it rises to the surface of the Earth” – how? just how? I can understand a modern filter, where the water is getting thought a carbon filter and gets cleaner. But how do the rocks purify the water? How does the water that comes to the surface not contain traces of sand & other stuff?
Thank you,

Well, it’s basically the same principle as the carbon filter. The surface of the rocks/sand is coarse, so dirt particles will get trapped in small nooks while the water is pushed through the layer. Your carbon filter does nothing else except for having an extra coarse surface so you don’t need a 10 ft tall filter
