It is a powerful underground spring with a mineral water flow rate of 100-125 l / sec. The spring is formed by a stream descending from the slopes of the Karatau ridge. A mineral water bottling facility is located approximately 1 km northwest of the mineral spring. The water of the spring is used as a therapeutic drinking water.
The spring is formed by several powerful griffins, whose water is squeezed out to the earth's surface along tectonic faults. The height of the water rise is 600-800 meters, so it has a constant temperature all year round - about 16 degrees. By its chemical composition, water is bicarbonate, magnesium-calcium, and contains active trivalent arsenic acid. Despite the high content of microelements useful for the body in the water of the Kurgazak spring, it has almost no taste.
