Exodus 15:22-25
He called out to the Lord on behalf of the people. The Lord told him to throw a piece of wood into the water. When he did, the water became drinkable. It was a miracle of the Lord's provision for His people once again. There is nothing inherent in a piece of wood that can purify bitter water.

Where in the Bible is found Bitter and Sweet water doesn't come from the same fountain?
When speaking of both bitter and sweet water together, this is the only Verse I found:Exodus 15:22-25New King James Version (NKJV) Bitter Waters Made Sweet22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?" 25 So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Both John's Gospel and Revelation speak of Jesus pouring out the fountain of life - God's Holy Spirit - to all who repent and follow Him to the end:John 4:14New King James Version (NKJV) 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
In what did the israelites find bitter water?
The Israelites found bitter water at Marah, shortly after their exodus from Egypt. When they arrived, they were thirsty and eager to drink, but the water was undrinkable due to its bitterness. God instructed Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water, which miraculously made it sweet and drinkable. This event demonstrated God's provision for His people during their journey in the wilderness.
Why was the water bitter at Marah?
This was a stop for the now freed Israelites who had just witnessed the parting of the Red Sea, their passage safely through it, and the destruction of Pharaoh's army and chariots. There are bitter or unfit to drink watering holes around the world (generally because the water flows over or through alkaline materials, which may answer the question to the extent you care right there) and the Bible tells us the name Marah means bitter so it was a known place as the quality of the water was too. See this verse:Exodus 15:22-23New International Version (NIV)The Waters of Marah and Elim22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.[a])Footnotes:Exodus 15:23 Marahmeans bitter.God does not act in vain so His bringing the Israelites to this spot served His purpose. Soon the peoples began to murmur against Moses and God. So God once again displays His awesome power and protection for His children by making the water drinkable. Soon thereafter, the people would continue on complaining about no food, so God would send manna from heaven to teach them about the Sabbath rest captivity caused them to forget. Yet, from their freedom onwards, the people continued to complain and do things their ways - the way of man. See related link below:
