Bottling Process

Main Line Spring Water is bottled by FOXLEDGE, a state of the art water filtration and bottling plant that takes pride in the quality of water it produces. 

The Source

Where Our Spring Water Comes From

Our water begins as natural spring water drawn from protected Pennsylvania springs — never municipal tap water. It emerges naturally filtered through layers of rock and sediment, picking up the balanced mineral profile that gives it its clean, crisp taste.

The source is monitored continuously and sampled daily to confirm that every drop meets the same standard before it ever reaches a bottle.

  • Natural Pennsylvania spring source, never tap water
  • Naturally occurring, balanced mineral content
  • Source sampled daily for FDA and State compliance

Careful Handling

Untouched by Human Hands

Our bottling location is completely automated, so your water stays sealed and protected from the source all the way to your door.

Fully Automated

Our bottling location is completely automated, ensuring your water is untouched by human hands throughout the entire process.

Sanitized Reusable Bottles

Every returned bottle is de-capped, inspected, washed, rinsed, and sanitized before it is ever refilled.

Sealed
Until Delivery

Bottles are capped, dated, and sealed at the plant, then delivered straight to your door on your monthly schedule.

Filtration

Purified Without Compromise

Multi-stage filtration and UV purification remove impurities while leaving the natural taste intact.

Multi-Stage Filtration

The pure spring water is multi-filtered to a 45 micron absolute rating, removing sediment and particulate before it moves on to purification.

UV Light & Ozonation

Every drop of water passes through ultraviolet light for purification — leaving no residual taste, color, or odor behind.

Bottling Process 

Our bottling location is completely automated ensuring that your water is untouched by human hands throughout the entire process. Below we have listed the steps that each bottle goes through to ensure quality control.

  1. 1
    A robot unloads empty bottles out of the racks and places them on the conveyor.
  1. 2
    The bottles then enter the de-capper which removes the caps and blows them into a cap recycling bin. 
  1. 3
    Bottles then proceed to the lead detector/sniffer machine. The first checkpoint is the leak detection procedure. Each bottle is presurized with 4PSI of air. If there is any deviation the bottle is immediately rejected and recycled. If the bottle passes it continues on to the sniffing module, which checks for foul odors, ammonia and petroleum products. If any of these elements are detected the bottle is rejected and recycled. 
  1. 4
    After inspection the bottles travel to the vision system. Using an HD camera, two pictures of every bottle are taken and analyzed by computer. Any defective bottles or bottles detected with debris are rejected and analyzed by QA. 
  1. 5
    Bottles that pass the previous step then pass through an automated washer/rinser/sanitizer station.

Multi-Stage Filtration

Bottles are washed at 5 stations by a 140 degree mild soap wash.

Rinse

Bottles go through a complete rinsing station and neck wash

Sanitize 

4 Sanitization stations use hyper-ozinated water to sanitize each bottle. 

Final Rinse

Bottles go through a final rinse with hyper-ozinated product water. 

  1. 6
    The bottles finally go to the non-contact filler to get filled with our natural spring water.
  1. 7
    After filling the bottles are then capped, dated, and delivered to your door! 

Quality & Testing

Tested at Every Stage

Quality control runs continuously — in house throughout the day, and independently by an outside laboratory.

Filtration

The pure spring water is multi filtered to a 45 micron absolute rating. 

Ultra Violet Light and Ozination 

Every drop of water passes through Ultra Violet Light for purification, thus not leaving a residual taste, color or odor.

Our spring water is bottled by Fox Ledge Springs, a company that adheres to the outlined procedures known as GMP’s set in place by the Food and Drug Administration. Strict adherence to GMP’s is a federal mandate for bottled water producers and plays an integral role in ensuring a quality product. 

In House Product Testing 

Our bottling center adheres to a constant monitoring procedure throughout the day ensuring quality control. Testing includes cap torque, bottled integrity, label and coding specs, water quality analysis, bacteria, HCP, and mold spore (both water and air testing). 

Outsourced Testing

Daily water samples - source and product - are sent to an independent laboratory for FDA and State compliance. Yearly analytical testing on source and finished product is also part of Fox Ledge Springs standard procedure. Together Main Line Spring Water, bottled by Fox Ledge Springs, ensures that you receive the best and highest quality water available!
