Information about the source, pH, minerals, and artesian water benefit.

  • Is your water safe for daily consumption?

    Absolutely. American Artesian™ meets or exceeds all FDA standards for bottled water quality. It’s a safe, healthy, and naturally pure choice for everyday hydration.

  • What is the shelf life of the water from American Artesian™?

    At American Artesian™, we follow the standard U.S. guideline of a two-year “best by” date. While water itself doesn’t expire, we recommend enjoying it within this timeframe for the freshest taste. You’ll find the date printed beneath the label on each bottle.

  • Is your water treated or purified in any way?

    Our water is naturally filtered through ancient rock formations deep underground — no reverse osmosis, additives, or artificial enhancement required. To ensure safety without compromising purity, we use a minimal-touch, three-step process: fine particle filtration, UV light sterilization, and a light ozonation rinse. The result is safe, exceptionally pure artesian water — without the chemicals or treatment agents found in many bottled brands.

  • Does your water contain electrolytes?

    Yes — but only those found naturally in our aquifer. We don’t add synthetic electrolytes. What you taste is the real mineral composition of our source, preserved by nature and untouched in the bottle.

  • What minerals are in the water from American Artesian™?

    At American Artesian™, our natural artesian water contains naturally occurring minerals including:

    • Calcium – Supports bone strength and hydration
    • Silica – Known for benefits to skin, hair, and joints
    • Magnesium – Helps regulate muscle and nerve function
    • Potassium – Maintains fluid balance and energy support
    • Sodium (trace amounts) – Naturally present, never added

    These elements contribute to our signature smooth taste and refreshing finish.

  • What is the pH of your water?

    American Artesian™ has a naturally alkaline pH of 7.7 or higher. This balanced level reflects the purity of our source and supports everyday hydration without artificial enhancement.

  • What makes American Artesian™ different from other bottled waters?

    Our water is never purified, enhanced, or altered. It flows through layers of natural rock, absorbing beneficial minerals along the way, and is bottled at the source using a solar-powered, minimal-contact process. The result is clean, smooth, and naturally balanced water — untouched until you open the bottle.

  • What is artesian water?

    Artesian water is drawn from a confined aquifer — a deep, pressurized underground chamber encased in rock. When accessed, the natural pressure allows the water to rise without the need for mechanical pumping. This protected environment naturally filters the water, resulting in exceptional purity and mineral content.

  • Where does the water from American Artesian™ come from?

    At American Artesian™, our natural artesian water is sourced from a pristine aquifer located over 400 feet beneath the surface in Hanover County, Virginia. Naturally protected by layers of stone and earth, the aquifer acts as a barrier against surface contaminants — preserving the water’s purity, mineral profile, and naturally alkaline balance. Bottled directly at the source, every drop reflects the clean, crisp taste that only nature can provide.

    We encourage all customers to recycle their bottles through local recycling programs. Every small action contributes to a larger impact — and we believe sustainability begins with simple, intentional choices.
