9 million gallons of warm mineral water flowing daily
51 minerals; highest healing mineral content in the USA
87 degrees - perfect for swimming and soaking!
Healing Waters
Warm Mineral Springs is a naturally formed warm water mineral spring. Its temperature is a consistent 87-degrees year-round. Experts agree that this is the ideal temperature for soaking and swimming. Being a warm spring, one receives the health benefits of both a hot spring and a cold spring. Swimming in the warm mineral water at Warm Mineral Springs is both healthy and rejuvenating for your body.
Warm Mineral Springs' water has the highest mineral content in America and ranks as the third highest mineral content in the world! There are over 51 different minerals found in the rich water at Warm Mineral Springs, each one having its own unique health benefits that are absorbed naturally through your skin, helping to re-mineralize one's body and promote health and healing.
Chemical analysis of the water reveals a total mineral content of 17,439 parts per million. This is many times the mineral content of such famed international spas as Vichy and Aix Les Bains in France, Hot Springs in Arkansas, and Baden Baden in Germany. The Warm Mineral Springs' mineral density results in high buoyancy for bathers, which helps to facilitate effortless swimming and the joy of weight-free movement.
Interesting Notes
Warm Mineral Springs is the only warm water mineral spring in the State of Florida, and is the largest warm water mineral spring in the world! The surface area of the spring is a round pond, it is 1.4-acre in circumference and reaches depths of nearly 250 feet deep in the center. The hourglass shaped sinkhole (or cenote) is the results of an apparent earthquake that created the subsurface cave-in some 20,000 years ago. At about 45 feet below the surface there are small ledges that encircle the basin, some of which contain shallow caves. Beneath these ledges the springs body expands to form a large cavity where, at about 148 feet below surface, debris accumulates and forms a Debris Cone that is thought to be over 30,000 years old. (The oldest lowest stratum of rock is estimated to be 20 million years old.) The limestone bedrock, from which the sinkhole is formed, comes from marine rock. United States Geological Society Hydrologists found the porosity of the limestone formation allowed water interchange with the ground water. Water samples collected from the Floridian Aquifer have revealed that the underground water may have taken 60,000 years to filter through the earth before reaching the surface. The discovery of stalactites and stalagmites found in the caves below the spring's surface indicates that the underwater caves were once dry, probably during the last Ice Age.
The spring's main water source originates from over 3,000 feet deep within the earth, connecting to the Boulder Zone of the Floridian aquifer, which is located, some 100m below the present land surface. It produces an astonishing nine million gallons of mineral rich water everyday, as a result, this creates a fresh clean body of water ever two hours!
Nearer to the Surface
A curiosity of The Springs is that the water contains no dissolved oxygen, except at a layer at about 15 or 20 feet thick at the surface, as a result, only a few small minnows mange to live near the waters edge.
A unique characteristic of the Springs' water is that the anaerobic, antibiotic, and high mineral content, act to preserve most non-metal objects that have fallen or been placed into the spring. Because the water contains no dissolved oxygen; neither oxidative process nor fermentation takes place, making the water an all-natural preservative.
