the spring
the discovery
Under an almost impenetrable layer of clay, some 34 meters (37 yards) thick, we tapped a glacial tunnel channel carved out in the Elster Ice Age and containing a spring of exceedingly pure water. Given the water’s very high quality in composition and purity, we decided to explore the possibilities for extracting water from the spring. All the necessary tests were done and passed with flying colors, resulting in certification of the spring by the Dutch Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Bovis value
The Bovis value is the vibrational frequency of materials. Every product or object and everything alive has a vibrational frequency, expressed as a number on the Bovis scale. Things with a vibration greater than 6,500 Bovis give us energy and strengthen us. Things with a lower value than 6,500 deplete our energy and weaken us. Bovis values are assigned based on a scale developed by two French scientists, Bovis and Simoneton. Bovis values can be measured using a Biotensor pendulum.
the spring
The tunnel channel we tapped was carved out in the Elster Ice Age, when a thick sheet of ice covered the northern part of what later became the Netherlands. Under those ice sheets, channels were formed by meltwater flows.
The glacial period lasted from 425,000 to 475,000 years ago. During that Elster Ice Age, streams of meltwater transported huge quantities of sand and clay, which are now known as “Peelo” sand and clay.
natural mineral water
The European Mineral Waters Directive (No. 80/777/EEG) defines natural mineral water as microbiologically wholesome water that can be tapped from an underground aquifer (a water-bearing layer in the subsoil) by a natural or drilled well. The only treatment allowed is removal of iron and, if desired, the addition of carbon dioxide. The Netherlands Natural Mineral and Spring Water Decree of 1998 (see PDF elsewhere on this site) mandates that natural mineral water have specific physiological characteristics and originate from a clearly identified, protected spring.
