The rate of discharge of water into the spring varies constantly. Water gushes out from the bottom both in large one-time bursts and as continuous small-scale bubbling. There are about five separate eruption centers in Uhrilähde spring.
The water that flows into the springs originates from the Hämeenkangas ice marginal formation, which is an important groundwater area. Water flows within the sand and gravel formation until the ground water level meets the ground surface at the bottom of the formation. There are more than 20 springs in Hämeenkangas. Uhrilähde and Kylmänmyllynlähde are among the best-preserved springs in the area.
The water from the sacrificial spring is used as baptismal water for children.
Uhrilähde and Kylmänmyllynlähde are one of the L-H Geopark's geosites.
