Where does it come from?

Econfina Creek was first called “Natural Bridge” for a natural limestone arch that crossed the pristine creek at the mouth of the spring. During the war of 1812, Gen. Andrew Jackson and his army crossed Econfina en route to Pensacola. In 1821, when the territory opened for settlement, one of Jackson’s land surveyors, William Gainer, returned to the sparkling creek and settled there. The Gainer Springs Group, named after William Gainer, is the most significant group of fresh-water producing underground vents located in the middle section of Econfina Creek In the Florida panhandle about 25 miles North of Panama City Beach. Originating from deep within the Floridian Aquifer (water filtered through sand and limestone) these springs produce 114 million gallons per day, nearly twice the requirement to make it a first magnitude spring — one of only five such springs in Northwest Florida and 75 in the country. It is from this hidden local gem that we harvest Wauhó Water.

What makes our water special?

Water is primarily measured by Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), a measure of all the dissolved solids or minerals, including calcium, magnesium and caltrates. The fewer the better. High levels will affect the taste of water and may also affect toxicity, says James P. McMahon, an ecologist with Sweetwater, LLC based in Brookside, Utah. Generally, a low TDS is considered by some health practitioners to be more hydrating. What’s so special about Wauhó Water, is its low TDS measure. It's even naturally slightly fluoridated so your dentist will appreciate it also. Our water is minimally processed to ensure it is safe to drink, but also making sure we are keeping the water in its most natural form. Because of it's natural makeup, our water has been rated as one of the best waters to drink in the world.

Our Vision is simple — Do more with water.

Water is a simple necessity, needed for basic survival and everyone must have it. But our water is more than that. Our moto is “More than just water”, and we take that seriously. Yes, we offer some of the best water to drink, but we wanted to do more with water. Our company is dedicated to Ocean and marine life conservation, Educating people about recycling, and keeping our Oceans clean. In addition, we have plans to partner with organizations to provide clean, drinkable water to people who do not have access to clean water. How do we do this?

1.Wauhó Water sets aside a standard 5% of our net profits to fund our charity fund which is used to donate to organizations, as well as provide resources.
2.We sponsor and participate in community events that target the key areas listed above.
3. 5% is our standard, but we will go outside of that to meet specific needs in areas that might require more resources.
