“

Since it is a remedy for many diseases, thousand of families visit and drink its water, take a bath to cure from every country in July and then return their country. It is a famous and nice spring.

[edit] Production

Ayvaz Water has been produced and marketed in glass bottles for over 30 years. PET bottles were introduced in 1984 due to hygiene requirements made by the municipality. The water has 6,7 PH and 0,5 hardness degree. Being a 5th magnitude spring (1,4 Lt/s), demand is currently higher than supply.
