COMPANY HISTORY:

AQUA VITAE CORPORATION was founded “on a burst pipe” incident.  After returning from a family vacation, the Company President/CEO arrived home only to find his basement floor flooded 5 inches deep.  He immediately shut off the water mainline and an emergency plumber was dispatched to identify the damage.  The discovery was unimaginable-- a burst pipe in the first floor bathroom sink was corroded and ‘paper thin’.  The plumber stated that chemicals in the water corroded pipes and this was a common repair issue for him.  Thoughts then arose… if tap water perished metal, then it can do worse to the human body.  The chapped hands, the limp hair, the itchy and dry skin after a bath that always needed lotion or anti-itch cream was certainly from this.  

Water was supposed to moisten skin and not dry it or cause it to have rashes.  Falling hair and even soap scum clogged sinks and bathtubs that needed to be regularly scraped.  There were permanent rust and hard water stains, rings in toilet bowls and muddy bottoms in their tanks.  He recalled the times tap water was brownish and faucets needed to run for periods of time till it cleared, and the time when the town made occasional announcement to boil the water because of bacterial contamination.  Laundry and dishwashing never came out quite satisfactory.  Tap water had a smell and a “chemical” after-taste, and so, it was never drank-- but ironically cooked with.  Rust and scale buildup eventually destroyed even the water heater and had to be replaced.  Like wise, bottled water (wherever it came from) was bought in volume, was always cumbersome to carry, and was expensive. 

For some years, the house water was getting to be an issue and after a second burst pipe, a serious probe and research on “what was wrong with the tap water,” arose.  In conclusion, the water coming out of our homes was in its “most unnatural state”!  To say that the family was ‘living with it because they were used to it,’ needed to come to a stop.  A home water filtration system was installed and the result was so dramatic and so positively significant that sharing the importance of having one begun the business.  Now its mission and vision continue up to the present day; “Water filtration is not a luxury, it is a necessity!”

The company’s mission and vision is to provide homes and businesses with a carefully designed and a technologically superior yet economical water filtration system that will put water back in its cleanest and most pristine natural state. Unlike most other whole house filtration systems that are the bulky, single piece cylinders that have a life span of 4 years, AQUA VITAE's multi-stage ultraviolet (UV) filtration system that just needs filter change and an annual UV lamp replacement may be the first and last water purification system you’ll ever buy. AQUA VITAE is not just a retail store or a mail order company for water filtration systems or parts, we are a specialized company that provides personalized service and care to every client. A trained water filtration specialist will visit and inspect your home or business, give you a free water quality test to determine the condition of your tap water and make a written proposal on what would be the right system and filter media to use to best take care of your water filtration and purification needs with no obligation. Every system is custom installed.
