WaterGeeks helps make water safe and helps you conserve
Brent Mielke, the CEO of WaterGeeks started out as an executive producer for the documentary FLOW: For the Love of Water, which deals with the state of today's water supply.
Among some of the things outlined in the film:
-
lead pipes in homes - stagnant water dissolves the lead which then enters the water
-
water shortage around the world
-
safe drinking water - about a billion people don't have access to safe drinking water
-
water from rivers cannot be consumed in their raw form
With the problems outlined in the film, Mielke decided to come up with solutions in the form of his company: WaterGeeks.
The company offers a line of filter water bottles that makes the water safe by either removing lead and chlorine, or making water from rivers drinkable. The bottles can be used in various regions that have their own distinctive problems because the filteration happens at the consumer level. The bottles are reusable which reduces the carbon footprint and don't contain the compound bisphenol A (BPA) which doesn't pollute the environment and is non-toxic.
To conserve water, the company offers flex-regulating technologies which reduces water consumption by 50%.
The company will have a grand opening in June.
