Our Natural Mineral Water
Aqua Pura is sourced next to a Special Area of Conservation right in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside.
Our water flows deep below the surface of the stunning Eden Valley, filtering naturally through ancient rocks known as an aquifer. Our aquifer is rich in minerals that enhance the unique and refreshing flavour of Aqua Pura.
How do we get the water from source to bottle?

Our Pure Water
Do you want to know what exactly makes Aqua Pura so pure?
“Our source is protected by layers of boulder clay, glacial sand and gravel. A borehole is drilled over 300 metres below the ground into the sandstone where the water has percolated through those ancient, mineral-saturated rocks for centuries. Our water is then pumped to the surface and bottled just minutes later!”
The illustration below details the Aqua Pura journey.

& gravel - Boulder

The site is located next to a designated EU ‘Special Area of Conservation’ the River Eden and is located next to several designated ‘Sites of Special Scientific Interest’ (SSSI’s): Eden Gorge, River Eden and Tributaries, Lazonby Fell and Wan Fells
Our water quality
We are very proud to be an officially recognised Natural Mineral Water. To achieve and retain this classification we have consistently adhered to a comprehensive set of criteria since 1991.
By using plastic bottles made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which is scientifically demonstrated as safe for use with food and drink (BPA – Bisphenol A free), we ensure the flavour remains totally untainted and as pure as the day it was bottled.
Water testing
Our water originates from a natural and protected underground source. It is bottled at source on-site and is rigorously tested to ensure it is microbiologically safe and high quality without the need for any treatment.
Our minerals
As rain water filters through the Penrith sandstone of the Eden Valley it collects minerals, mainly Calcium, Magnesium and Sodium. Don’t worry though – our Sodium levels are classified as low at 0.7g per litre.
The presence of these minerals helps give Aqua Pura its refreshing taste.
