“The Pulsinch Natural Spring is re-born & ready for drinking! This spring is now flowing again after several winters of being dormant from the bridge construction. This is the only non-alkaline water source in the Hamilton area, incredible! Living hydrogen directly from the Earth. The water sample I took shows ZERO on both Total Coliform & E.Coli, more info: https://bit.ly/Es26R” – Mo Rosati
Nearest Address
Intersection of Maddaugh Rd and Macpherson’s Lane.
Directions from Nearest Address
From the above intersection walk down Puslinch Townline about 100 feet & you’ll see the spring under the side of the bridge. See video for details.
Hi.. I am new to this site and would like to check out this spring but, there haven’t been any recent postings. Does anyone know if this water is still good -Bacteria, ph, tds, etc? Tx.
I am PISSED. A friend and I went here yesterday and met an odd man by the name of Frank who says he goes there every day to drink the water, and often JUMPS right into it— his whole body. This man bathes; his sweat, dirt, skin cells, toxins and who knows what else INTO the spring that people collect water out of. WTF do we do?
The TDS is already high and HE IS DEFINITELY INCREASING IT! I’m ANGRY! Our livers & kidneys do not need HIS extra shit to filter out.
been to this location many times, pretty good water no problems. is it safe tho that the water is coming out of a spout that is rusting and has other growths aound it, isnt it bad to drink and polluting the water? also whats better alkaline or non alkaline water?
Hi guys! Went and picked up water samples this passed tuesday (june 4th) and called in for the results just on friday (june 7th). Everything got cleared for 0 and ). The water tastes great and looks just find. very clear and clean and crisp. Peace everybody 🙂
We are sorry if a comment you submitted does not appear on the site. We are just getting the site fully up and running again so please feel free to re-post your commnent 🙂
will be going there within a week to collect water for sample drinking and i will also try and do a sample kit for public health lab testing. i will keep people on here updated. This spring looks rather trusted and clean though. R.I.P. to Mo Rosati who has done great work for bringing healthy drinking water to the awareness of a lot of people he has recently passed away! He has left a ton of great videos of his work. what a great and beautiful man 😀 All the best yall PEACE
Visited this spring today and met another nice spring-finder who found this one through this website! Had a nice chat with him about findaspring.com. As for the water, we bought new plastic jugs today and washed them out before filling our containers for good. Boiled some of it when we got home, chilled it to have a drink of it tonight and we enjoy it, but we find the water very metallic tasting. We speculate it’s probably minerals from the rocks at the bottom of the well or the metal pipe encasing the spring causing the taste, but were not too sure. Could be the plastic from our containers too. My brother thinks it could just be the acidity of the water were tasting. Anyone else encounter a metallic taste from this water?
With the recent melt and rain the springs outlet is overtopped by the stream so I would not drink from it right now, or do boil it, there is a high probability of contamination from the stream/surface runoff.
Water levels have now fallen and spring can be collected from again. (thank goodness…I was getting tired of softened water). I collected again.
Also if you break your glass do NOT leave it in the stream! Even under the bridge. It will wash downstream and be an extreme hazard for injury. People (including the neighborhood kids, fishermen and my coworkers) are in this stream and broken glass, like what I removed today, can cause severe injury!
Hey everyone…this is my first time going to the spring and i’m so excited about it! Has anyone tested this water recently? Also do any of you boil the water?
I took a sample on November 27, 2012 and the results are good. 0 colliform and 0 E. coli. So it looks great. Tasted great too. I do not boil it unless I get test results with some bacteria.
You can’t mistake the smell of chlorine pucks. Â Even the short exposure I had to the fumes gave me a headache. Â I also wish this spring was more protected. Â Some springs I have visited have been designed so that they run right out of a tap which keeps the water clean from debris and makes filling containers a lot easier.
We noticed the white pucks at the bottom of the spring too- how do you know they were chlorine pucks? Thanks for taking them out- any more thoughts on how to cover this spring so people cant put anything in it?Â
I went to this spring to collect water this past weekend (July 8, 2012) and found 4 chlorine pucks laying on the bottom. I removed them not only because it is like drinking pool water but because this is first and foremost a sensitive trout spawning area that chemical additives like chlorine may have some impact on.
Thanks for removing them Taras! That is disgusting that someone would put chlorine pucks in the spring!!! Totally pathetic. (glad I missed it) Very damaging not only to whoever would drink that but also to the whole stream, you are right it is a sensitive area and it would have a negative effect on the stream. Mind boggling why someone would even think to do that (other than maliciousness which would be very sad)…besides the damage to the steam and unsafeness for humans; if you wanted to drink chlorine why go to a spring at all? Just get water from your treated municipal system… Test results are always clean (except for that one blip in 2011) so no reason at all to even contemplate putting chlorine in this water.
On June 12,2012 IÂ discovered this spring… Â a local told me about how great it is… Â I took a little sip… Â The water tasted Great and was super cold but after 5 – 10 mins I wasn’t feeling too great… Â Didn’t get sick or anythings… Â But truthfully i’m still not feeling too good… Â I can’t pin it to the spring… Â But it can’t say it wasn’t the water…
One big issue i have with this spring is the galvanized steel with a higher acidic water…
I didn’t see a posted contaminated sign… Â Wish I did tho…
Thank you for this website… Â I just found it today
Hey Kaylee, great meeting you at the Puslinch spring! Nothing makes me happier than meeting new people at these springs, watch people building their blood with raw, wild living spring water! Keep up the great work 🙂
Drinking pure spring water is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Our bodies are over 99% water at the molecular level, so water affects every aspect of our biology. Yet, not all water is created equal. Almost all the bottled spring water available is pasteurized for shelf stability, which neutralizes many of the powerful health benefits such as increased hydrogen, healthy probiotics, and crystalline structure. For more about why unprocessed spring water is the best water to drink, read this.
The best way to guarantee you are getting real unprocessed spring water is to collect it yourself. This is a short and simple guide filled with information about how to gather spring water. We will cover how to find a spring, how to collect the water, how to honor the spring, how to store the water properly and other tips.
FindASpring.org is the best resource for locating a spring near you. However, not all springs are on the map. First, check the map to see if there is a spring in your local area. If there is, look at the reviews and comments. Has anyone shared helpful information about flow rate or posted a water test result? Is the spring in a pristine area? Do a bit of research and make sure the spring is safe to drink from. If you have any doubt about the purity, don’t risk it and get a water test, HERE. If you don’t see a spring on the map in your area, there still might be some that aren’t listed yet. First, ask the older generation who have lived in your area a long time if they know. You can also ask people in your community who might already get spring water such as people at a health food store or at a farmers market. Another great option is to view A US forest service map, where many springs have been marked. You can view these maps through the Gaia GPS or All Trails hiking apps on your phone. The map overlay you want is USGS Topo. Not all are easily accessible or ideal for drinking, but some are and it can be a fun adventure to find them. We have found over half a dozen great springs this way.
Once you’ve found your spring, figure out how you are going to gather the water. Is it right on the side of the road and easy to access or do you have to hike to it? We recommend storing spring water in glass instead of plastic to preserve the purity of the water. It is better for the environment, your body, and the water. Even BPA free plastic has toxic chemicals that can leach into water and cause health issues. If you do want to use plastic for safety reasons when filling at the spring, we recommend transferring the water to glass as soon as possible. FindASpring is sponsored by Alive Waters, which offers beautiful reusable glass. They have a 2.5 gallon option, which is a convenient size for carrying that isn’t too heavy. They also sell handles that you can use to transport the jugs even more easily. If you have to hike to access the spring, we recommend putting the water jugs into an extra large backpack to hike the water out with ease. We use Osprey packs that hold 2 jugs each. You can also use a wheelbarrow or even a stroller depending on how easy a walk it is.
Filling 2.5 Gallon Alive Waters Jug
When you get to the spring, remember to first give back before you take. Springs are considered sacred in indigenous cultures around the world for their life giving water and also as a connection to the inner earth. A powerful and simple way to give back is to clean up. Is there any trash that needs to be collected? Could you move any dead leaves or sticks to improve the flow rate? Show up in service. Some other wonderful ways to give is with a moment of expressing verbal gratitude, singing songs to the water, offering the water an ethically sourced crystal, a feather, or some other physical gift. Flowers are a popular and beautiful thing to offer, but please be careful to source organic ones as most flowers from the store are sprayed with pesticides and can be toxic to put near a spring. Also, flowers can attract bugs as they decay, so it can be best to offer them to the flowing water directly or a little downstream from the spring head.
When gathering the water, fill the jug as close to the spring head as possible, never gather downstream. Be very careful as wet glass is extremely slippery. Make sure the lid is securely fastened. When transporting the spring water home, the jugs can sometimes slide around the car. Secure them in place or wrap them with towels or something so they don’t crash into each other.
How you store your spring water is essential. It is not pasteurized like spring water from the store, so it will start growing algae if left in direct sunlight. This is good because it means it’s alive! If the water you drink can’t even support the most basic life forms, how do you think it will support your body? Store your water in a cool, dark place such as a dark corner, pantry or closet. The fridge is ideal if you have room. Some people prefer to filter their water through a Berkey filter before drinking, but if the spring is pure, it’s not necessary. We drink our spring water completely unfiltered.
How long the water stays good for depends on how cold a temperature it’s stored at. Spring water is best fresh. We personally do not prefer to drink spring water past 2 weeks old. However, we know other people that will drink it at a month old. It’s great to get in a rhythm where you know how long the water lasts you and put your collection day on the calendar in advance.
I believe that water is calling us to reconnect with her in the deepest way, to gather our own water. Just like our ancestors did. Our ancestors didn’t have fancy water machines. They also didn’t create villages or settle where there was no water. Water was revered as the center of the community and the nodal point around which life could spiral out and take root.
Here’s to restoring the sacred connection with the waters of life.

I love this spring but I’ve noticed black fuzzy bits on the sides and bottom of the spring. anyone know what this is?
With the recent melt and rain the springs outlet is overtopped by the stream so I would not drink from it right now, or do boil it, there is a high probability of contamination from the stream/surface runoff.

Thanks for the update 🙂
r v able to take this water in winter with snow too?
Yes, the spring flows all winter. Ground water stays around 6 or 7 deg so it never freezes.
I took a sample on November 27, 2012 and the results are good. 0 colliform and 0 E. coli.

Does anyone drive here from the GTA/ Mississauga? I’m willing to pay half of the gas expense. email: nishanthi20@hotmail.com
 There is one closer to you or maybe its the same distance, (just north rather then west). Up in Terra Cotta area. I’ve visited and it was nice. https://find-a-spring-stage.local/belfountain-beauty-spring-belfountain-ontario-canada/
