Deep
Trinity rises from an astonishing depth of more than two
miles. This fact makes Trinity one of the deepest known
sources on the planet.
Pure
The most compelling evidence of Trinity’s pristine state is
the absence of tritium, the pervasive radioactive byproduct
of nuclear testing which is found in all surface
environments. Trinity is also free from all other manmade
pollutants such as the MTBE gasoline additive, fertilizers
and pesticides, which are increasingly found in much of the
ground water throughout the United States.
Protected
Trinity flows through faults in an impermeable granite
batholith ("deep rock" in Greek) that protects it along its
16,000-year journey to a depth of more than two miles and
then back to the surface. The faults in the granite
batholith are lined with silica quartz crystal.
Ancient
Trinity is the purest known source on the planet. The water
coming from the Trinity Springs fell many thousands of years
ago during an age when the earth was still free from manmade
pollution and it has been protected ever since. Trinity has
been carbon-dated* at more than 16,000 years old. For most
of that time, Trinity has been boiling and purifying within
the earth. It emerges at 138°F, perfected over a vast period
of time.
*Carbon dating is the most common scientific procedure
for determining age in use today. Trinity has a negligible
amount of either type of carbon, but measurable enough such
that the C-14 can be determined. When this is measured and
compared to a standard, the age of the substance can be
approximated. |
