Pear Tree Well
Natural mineral water from a well on Paygate Farm, Palehouse Common, Framfield, East Sussex, in the High Weald. Defra’s register spells it “Peartree Well”. The producer says the water comes from 120 feet down, confined under a 5 ft layer of rock, and is bottled on the farm; the well was drilled in 1998. Pear Tree Well Ltd is owned by Philip David Pursglove (Companies House, 75% or more since July 2016).

Mineral character
Very hard. Per litre: calcium 200 mg, magnesium 70.4 mg. Hardness is about 789 mg/L as CaCO₃. Calcium is two and a half times Évian’s (80 mg/L) but well below Contrex (468 mg/L). Potassium is 5.5 mg/L, silicon 8.7 mg/L, pH 7.2; strontium (1,145 µg/L) stands out among the trace elements. The producer publishes no sodium, sulphate, chloride or bicarbonate, so the profile is incomplete. Two reseller pages repeat the producer’s figures.
