Tubs Spring

Description

This spring is located in Tubs Springs State Park and is maintained by the Oregon Park Service. It has a garden hose spout. The water runs through an ultraviolet light purification system and is checked regularly. Excellent water quality.

History: In 1846, a wagon train led by Jesse Applegate traversed southern Oregon along what became known as the Applegate Trail. Tub Springs Wayside is one of the stopping points before you head down the mountain pass into Ashland. Take a moment to stop here amid the towering fir and sense what it was like 150 years ago. Breathe in the fresh mountain air. There’s an interpretive panel at the wayside describing the difficulties faced by these pioneers. The name Tub Springs is derived from the tubs that were installed in the 1930s to provide spring water for travelers. The tubs have been renovated and are still functional today. The same springs that provided early settlers with plentiful fresh water still flow.

    I ventured to this spring a few months ago after finding it on FindASpring. It is easy to miss the location, so pay attention to the signs on the road. I could not drink this water because it tasted so much like metal… The water manifests itself in a man-made fountain of sorts.. perhaps the piping in the fountain is getting rusty. The water tastes like rusty pipes.

    Hi Folks!
    You now can get SPRING water coming out of your TAP WATER!!! For real!! Please watch this movie on water!!
    Please watch as soon as possible because this is at least the 2nd time they’ve taken it out! Don’t know how much longer it’ll be there! It is just on water!! Not put out by any company selling anything. It’s a documentary on WATER and its many properties: such as memory and biophotonic energy! Our units have all the properties of spring water and its energy! Even more energy! It is 10 parts long…this is just part 1!

Designed by a phycisist that worked for the Military working on Cloaking technology!! LIFETIME WARRANTY! IT MIMICs 10-15 miles of running stream water going over rocks creating 1000′s of vortices! For more info email me!! Tigger_eyes_here and I use yahoo. so tigger_eyes_here {at}yahoo{dot}com. YOU SHOULD SEE OUR GARDEN!!

    I just went to tubs springs it was an 1 hour drive to the location in the snow, we encountered around 2 feet snow. When we got there someone was filling up and he had been using that spring since 1974. After a 10-15 min chat with him he told me that the line from the spring to the spout gets cleaned at least once a year.

    We had 4 carboys (6 gal) which makes it hard to fill up at the start since there is a water basin and you have to position it just right.

    He told me that you can bring a very short garden hose and fill up the large jugs. Making it much easier but im not sure i want my water going thru a hose with who knows what rubber compound.

    I consider myself very strong but 6 gallons of water plus the carboy that’s about 52.5 pounds. You have to lift out of the water tub, so it does sound enticing.

    The water tasted smooth and silky, i did not get the rusty taste that Ogma experienced.

    I’m not sure about the ultraviolet light purification system. Can someone comment on this please.

    I’ll post pictures and a video as well as ill post the ph and TDS results soon.

    I would like to see your pictures and hear more about your experience regarding this spring.

    Hello,
    I’m considering making the drive out to the spring. Did you find out what the pH/TDS were?
    Thank you!

    Probably has lots of good iron and other minerals in it.
    I love ‘tasty’ water instead of the dead stuff coming out of the pipes in the city.

    Great tasting spring with beautifully designed cascading waterfall structure

    We were just there in June 2011 and by far the cleanest, purest water ever!!! Wish we lived closer to this spring!
