Mount Franklin Spring (page 2 of 3)

I bought a slab of mount Franklin. It was not the whole slab but three or four bottles were terrible tasted bitter and made my mouth numb. I rang the company but they wouldn't let me send the bottles that wrte affected they wanted unopened bottles. But as I said most of the slab were ok. So how could they test the bad ones I'm totally at a loss. Will never buy again. Which is unfortunate because I only drink bottled water.

As you'd know, Mt Franklin, as a huge company sells a lot of these spring waters. Have you tried the other version bottles of these types? They taste like chemical and when I drank it, it was like drinking something toxic or something very acidic. It was bad. It felt like something was tearing the throat, like LITERALLY! so be careful and stay safe. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ME :)

I'm not fond of tap water, so I've always bought bottled water of various prices. Evian tastes the best to me because it's soft and easy to guzzle - I wish it tasted the worst considering how much it costs lol. Mount Franklin on the other hand is terrible unless it's bone-chillingly cold and I'm dying of thirst. It's very hard tasting and leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth! I'd much rather drink tap water over this waste of money. At least Evian actually tastes good for what you pay for it.

the best and only water to buy. definitely wouldn’t buy any other brand. just wonder why they have gone up in price at woolworths and coles from $5 deals to $12 ridiculous

Acidic water with low pH which is why it makes many people feel unwell and causes migraine headaches. Best to drink tap water as the pH is neutral or imported bottled water such has fiji water, evian and acqua panna (neutral to alkaline ph levels). Was wondering why I was feeling unwell. I purchased a ph test kit and after testing various water will never drink large quantities of mount franklin ever again. The results are shocking and mount franklin hands down the worst water you can buy (far worst than tap water). Who knows where they are get...

I can assure you all water is not the same. Thank you Mt Franklin please do not change your water in any way. Cheep, convenient bottle is easily disposable

I drink spring water to get away from the acidity of tank water, I just purchased some Mt. Franklin spring water and the pH test says it's more acidic than my tank water, what a waste of money, can I have refund Mt. Franklin?

Used to taste ok. now tastes worse than my tap water.
What has happened Mount Franklin? Where does the water actually come from?

I have burning mouth syndrome and it makeS my tongue and mouth burn, This water has changed over the last 6 months.

I have no problem with the water itself, but the lid is incredibly hard to open. Reluctantly, I had to ask the young service station assistant to help me and he admitted he also has trouble opening them. I can't open it, so I just won't buy it.

Every single time I buy one, I can't open it but have no trouble opening any other drink! Makes me furious.

Wrist and skin both hands now hurt can budge the cap. Not the first time it's happened AND will be the last time I buy mt franklin.

Has a very chemical, almost generic tap water-like taste to it. Do we trust it to be spring water? If so, is it contaminated spring water? LACK OF BPA bottles too!!! Shame. Move with the times for goodness sake.

Finding it very difficult to drink MF water as it takes so long to get the cap off. Heaven help an elderdey person if they wanted a drink and have purchased your water.....dehydration would set in. Not only are the caps hard to open but you also have to hold the bottle firmly causing the water to gush out if you are lucky enough to have broken the seal.

Why do you make life so difficult.

At first I thought it was me in general, then I tried other brands where the water was fantastic, but every time I have Mt Franklin water I feel sick, bloated and nauseous....Its disgusting water, get rid of the plastic bottles, you are poisoning us

Why the heck are you looking at reviews for water man??? It all the same ya know tap water has chlorine and you drink that so why complain??? I really like the taste when it's crisp and cold on a summers day but don't think about leaving it in room temperature for a day because then it tastes revolting :( fun fact whenever I boil it to cook my noodles my noodles don't cook but just sink??? Really weird but idk better than juice and soft drinks.

A Low PH (Acidic) based filtered tap water.
Save your money guys, if this is the best we can
do in Australia - Evian has got it made:) The Best
Thing about Mount Franklin is it is cold..

Hi i love mt franklin drink its very nice been years drinking it. But i think u guys need to change the bottle? No more plastic bottles there's to many chemical's and it needs to stop. ive stopped buying mt franklin because im waiting til u bring out glass bottles its healthier. Yes it might cost abit more but im sure the company has the money to do 1 year trial of the glass bottle!! With bigger easier round lids. And see how many ppl will be happy. STILL WATER, AND SPARKLING very nice i will taste fresher and no health worries to others. PLASTIC REALLY NEEDS TO STOP. Thanks for reading. kind regards michael

I wanted something refreshing to drink so I bought the Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling Spring Water a couple of weeks ago. After a week drinking 2 -3 glasses in the evening, I got migraines, thinking it was caused by a week of being short staffed at work (extra work load) I don't normally get migraines.

It wasn't until I bought another well known brand and went back to Mount Franklin a couple of weeks later, that I realised it was the Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling Spring Water that had caused the migraines. I never have sensitivities to...

Been drinking this water for May many years, loved it but your lids/ newish caps as just horrible!!!
To be honest with you, I might stop buying as each and every time, does not matter where I am, how I am, water just spills out the top upon first opening it, it really is ridiculous. The money you guys saved on manufacturing the new caps has cost me, in spills water - get your job together guys. Not sure why I keep purchasing, just now in my van and opened up a new bottle and again, spilled water but this time, all over my new laptop! You guys need to send me out a years worth of supplies for this error and fire the designer who thought this was a good idea!

I'd get it from the kitchen tap. It's quite literally the worst tasting, supposedly natural spring water around. Having grown up drinking tank water, I know from the taste alone of this product that's it's not what the marketing says it is.

An old man who had heat stroke, to help him we went into a shop purchased 2 bottles of your water but nobody could open the bottles until someone came out with a pair of pliers the lids are tight to the point of stupidity.

Mount Franklin is freely available (corner shops/garages etc) so I have drank it many times due to convenience. I don't have a big complaint but does taste slightly devoid or slight cardboard taste if that makes sense. On the couple of occasions when I bought a multipack of small bottles from the supermarket I did not like the flimsy plastic. It feels cheap and untrustworthy for chemical leaching perhaps... and makes loud popping noises if I leave a bottle out of the fridge. I prefer 'Snowy Mountain Spring Water' in the sturdy blue bottle.

The original Mount Franklin water bottle is the most purest water I ever tasted, now it tastes like that crap water Frantelli where the plastic composite ionises the water and tastes metallic, when I saw the new Mount Franklin water I thought trendy but at work on hot day and drank it I thought what have they done, my first thought it's filtered water then after a week it occurred to me it's the new plastic container your product tastes like crap hasn't anyone told you pure water is so easily tainted, I might as well drink tap water. Sincerely yours, a Mount Franklin drinker for over 5 years.

I can not stand tap water, so I love to check out all the bottled water brands, I must say I think I've had nearly every brand on the market, I have to say from all the brands I've had in Australia, Europe, US and China, Mt Franklin would have to be the worst tasting water ever, I really can work out why so many people drink this, it has a really foul taste. I sometimes go without water if it's the only water available, I wish more shops would have a bigger range or better choice of water.
nothing about it
The worst tasting water I've had ever
