NordspRingsâ Commitment
Bathing Stewardship
Bathing is a ritual as old as time and has long been a practice of community, restoration, and healing. Weâre committed to supporting and enriching that experience in every way possible. Caring for a Nordsprings tub is part of that ritual: a quiet extension of bathing that honors both craftsmanship and nature.
Mineral enriched water
Soaking in mineral enriched water offers a distinctly memorable experience. The water feels softer, smoother, almost like velvet on the skin. This style of bathing is rooted in Balneology, the study of the therapeutic impact of mineral water.
Our proprietary blend includes salts, minerals, ions, and electrolytes - magnesium, calcium, and over 80 naturally occurring trace elements. These interact with water in a way that many describe as âaliveâ and unexpectedly natural.
Our mineral formula is designed to allow the body to naturally absorbs what it needs through the skin (transdermal absorption), gently balancing your own mineral chemistry. But this delicate harmony only exists when the waterâs alkalinity, pH, and ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) are consistently maintained. That balance is the inspiration behind the design of the Nordsprings Water System.
Natural wooden barrels
Our solid wood barrels are alive in their own way, breathing with the seasons, and weathering with temperature, humidity, and time.
Like any living material, they thrive with gentle, regular care. Light cleaning and consistent use support both the longevity of the wood and the purity of the water it holds. When left idle, a natural biofilm can form, just like in a spring or well. Itâs not harmful, but itâs also not what you want to soak in.
Think of it like brushing your teeth: a simple ritual to keep things fresh and inviting. A cared-for barrel creates a stable, clean, and energetically vibrant bathing environment.
Q&A
Essential details to support your ritual, covering craftsmanship, care, and the experience of living with Nordsprings.
Where does the mineral water come from?
We start with the water you already have: well, tap, city, or hose. Our pre-filter removes additives like  chlorine, heavy metals, and sediment, then we mineralize the water with our proprietary blend. The result feels like a naturally occurring spring: soft, silky, and deeply therapeutic.
Is this a hot tub or a cold plunge?
Yes. Itâs both and everything in between. The system supports a full thermal range, from 104°F to 45°F, depending on the season, your intention, or your practice.
Is the water safe for kids, sensitive skin, or people with health concerns?
Absolutely. Many people report improved skin, better sleep, and fewer sensitivities compared to chlorinated systems. Our water is designed to harmonize with human biology, gentle, nourishing, and safe for sensitive bodies.
How much time do I need to spend maintaining the system?
Very little, especially if youâre on a Stewardship Plan. We monitor water quality, flow rate, filter health, and more enabling most owners to never have to touch chemicals or test strips. For DIY types, we offer minerals and care rituals.
How often do I have to change the water?
Not often if at all. Our system continuously circulates, filters, and mineralizes the same body of water. Youâre not draining and refilling every use or week. With regular care, either from us or by you, you can go months or longer without changing water. Itâs sustainable, consistent, and far less wasteful.
What if I forgot to change the temperature and Iâm out of town?
No problem. Our water system is remote-controllable. Adjust the temperature from your phone anytime, anywhere.
Do I really need to shower before getting in?
No, you donât have to. Our water system is designed to continuously filter, clean, and refresh the water. The water stays clean without needing you to prep beforehand.
Our Offerings
There are many ways to care for a bathing system, just as there are many ways to bathe. Some people enjoy tending to every detail themselves. Others prefer consistent support. We honor that full spectrum of stewardship and offer flexible options for both home and hospitality environments.
If you prefer to care for your system yourself, we provide a detailed Care Rituals guide and make our mineral blends available as Mineral Essence. For local owners in Austin, Texas, we offer regular Stewardship Visits, available weekly or once per moon cycle.
Whether youâre tending a personal sanctuary or supporting guests in a hospitality setting, weâve designed our offerings with intention and flexibility. Discounts are available for annual commitments and for those with multiple tubs.
