The total flow volume is 52 L/s. The spring water temperature ranges from 40 °C to 82 °C and is mostly 60–70 °C. The salinity is 129–147 g/L and is sodium bicarbonate. The soluble silica content is 84–104 mg/L, and it contains various trace elements, such as boron, arsenic, copper, titanium, manganese, cobalt and nickel.
