BUILT FOR SAFETY. BACKED BY SCIENCE.

Pure Water. Engineered From Air. Protected for Life.

Advanced atmospheric water, filtration, and hydration systems designed to protect human health in a contaminated world.

320M+

Americans exposed to contaminants in tap water

250+

Known contaminants detected in U.S. drinking water

100+

Contaminants with no legal EPA limit

40+ yrs

Since many EPA standards were last updated

— WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT

EPA Legal Limits vs. Health Guidelines

The EPA sets legal limits for contaminants, but many scientists and health organizations argue these limits are outdated and inadequate to health research.

The Problem: Legal ≠ Safe

  • Many EPA standards haven’t been updated in 20-40+ years

  • Over 100 known contaminants have no legal limit at all

  • “Safe” levels often set by cost/feasibility, not health science

  • Emerging contaminants like microplastics are completely unregulated

The WaterVo Approach

  • AWG technology creates water from air — starts contaminant-free

  • Multi-stage RO systems remove 99%+ of known contaminants

  • Mineral enhancement adds back healthy calcium & magnesium

  • Tank-based UV-C sterilization (not flow-through) for complete pathogen elimination

WATER QUALITY

Common Tap Water Contaminants

These are the most prevalent and concerning contaminants found in U.S. drinking water. Each one tells a story of regulatory gaps and the urgent need for home water purification.
Heavy Metal

Lead

Health Effects
Brain damage in children, kidney damage, reproductive issues. No safe level of exposure
Sources
Corroding pipes, plumbing fixtures, lead solder. Common in pre-1986 homes.
EPA Limit
15 ppb (action level)
Health Goal
0.5 ppb
WaterTo Removal: 99.9% via RO + Carbon
Synthetic Chemical

PFAS (Forever Chemicals)

Health Effects
Cancer, thyroid disease, immune suppression, reproductive harm. Persists in body for years.
Sources
Firefighting foam, non-stick cookware, food packaging, industrial runoff.
EPA Limit
4 ppt (PFOA/PFOS)
Health Goal
1 ppt
WaterTo Removal: 99%+ via AWG (no source water) or RO
Heavy Metal

Arsenic

Health Effects
Bladder, lung, and skin cancer. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes.
Sources
Natural rock erosion, agricultural runoff, industrial waste
EPA Limit
10 ppb
Health Goal
0.004 ppb
WaterTo Removal: 99% via RO

THE ALWAYS FRESH PITCHER

Who's Most at Risk?

While contaminated water affects everyone, certain groups face significantly higher health risks.

Infants & Children
Pregnant Women
Elderly & Immunocompromised
Athletes & Active People
— WATER QUALITY

Water Quality Varies Widely Across the U.S.

Your water quality depends heavily on where you live. Here are some of the most common regional concerns.

Southwest (CA, AZ, NV)

  • Arsenic from natural deposits
  • Hexavalent chromium
  • Uranium in groundwater
  • Agricultural pesticide runoff

Midwest (OH, MI, IN, IL)

  • Arsenic from natural deposits
  • Lead from aging infrastructure
  • Atrazine herbicide
  • PFAS from industrial sites

Northeast (NY, NJ, PA, MA)

  • Lead from old plumbing
  • Disinfection byproducts (THMs)
  • PFAS contamination
  • Chloramine treatment effects
