    Went to the spring and tested the water. This spring is appeared to be the worst quality spring I have been to. The total dissolved solids was 107 and above, the water was relatively warm 55 degrees, and there was a white film collecting in the small catchments. If you are in the dallas area, I recommend the frankston/cuney with a total dissolved solids in the low twenties.

    Thanks for the info. My son lives near Tyler and just bottled me some water from Frankston-Cuney. It tastes wonderful!!! I had some ph papers and tested it at 6.7 but not sure how accurate that is. I live in Austin and can't find anything closer, can you?

  • l'amor

    well the gorman spring, new braunfels and san marcos spring are close to you…if you are in austin. My friend and I are either going to journey down to new braunfels tomorrow to check out the scoop on this one, or maybe even go to the pike spring in arkansas, which is about the same distance for me as the ones near you… I will share my discoveries where ever we go..

  • scherryhodges

    Please keep me updated! I will check into the springs that you mentioned but I don't think that there is a way to collect the water, I believe it bubbles up and into a pool that recieves direct sunlight, as does the Comal in New Braunfels. Oh I hope that I am wrong!

  • Lamorlife

    yeah I went here too, and turned away not drinking the water. Frankston/cuney is the best I have found in the Dallas vicinity.

  • Tess

    Lamorlife, did you ever test the water at Comal Springs, New Braunfels or Aquarina in San Marcos? Can I gather water from either of these sites? If so, how and where? I’m desparately trying to find a low ph, no chlorine, no flouride water. . .can you please help me? Thanks, Tex

  • Scherrystarr

    I live near Austin. I have thought about San Marcos and New Braunfels but there is not way to gather water at these places, they are pools that collect all sorts of bacteria while sitting. I believe the safe way to collect spring water is from a spicket connected to the source of the spring. I have gathered at Frankston/Cuney. The water is precious, I loved it!!! But oh so far away. I am thinking of making another trip there in a month or two. I may even gather for others if you are interested.

    Do you have directions to the Frankston/Cuney spring from Dallas?
