rock spring/fountain
Sounds like "Wellness" has raised its ugly head again! Howzabout just a literal translation?

Thankyou Susanna. I must also admit I`m intriqued by all of these whirlpool answers - surely they mean Jacuzzis, or am I being pedantic?

I thought of something natural as well, but what I found simply refers to whirlpools, so maybe this helps:

Discussion
I'm not sure whether the author of this pamphlet made up this word and did refer to a 'rock whirlpool' or whether he/she is referring to the water to be drunk.
This is a very important distinction and if you can't tell from the context, you should definitely ask.
