Classification

Sodium Bicarbonate-Chloride spring

A hot (73 °C) sodium bicarbonate-chloride spring with a salt-tinged finish. Neutral at the wellhead (pH 7.0), it carries the unmistakable rotten-egg note of H₂S layered with a faint iron-rust edge and a touch of mineral taste. Bicarbonate softness meets chloride heat retention, and a generous 131 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves the kind of silica film that keeps skin feeling smooth.
