The name 'Tuk Bening' translates from Javanese as 'Clear Spring', referencing the high water clarity of the source.
The water temperature remains low throughout the year due to the spring's high-altitude mountain origin.
The location is situated within a forest buffer zone on the outskirts of the Kaligua tea plantation area.
Unlike commercial chlorinated pools, the water in this facility is refreshed by constant inflow from the natural aquifer.

Visitors can swim in natural, untreated spring water that flows continuously through the basins. The infrastructure includes concrete pool edges, changing areas, and basic amenities for families.
