Transforming the Way the World Drinks Water

We exist because we believe every human deserves access to clean, safe, great tasting drinking water they can trust. This reality doesn’t exist today in the U.S..

Our mission is to transform the way the world drinks water by systematically upgrading how communities experience our planet’s most essential resource. Together, through Advanced Purification that eliminates up to 99.9% of contaminants, we’re fundamentally reimagining what water can and should be—and the profound impact it can have on human health.

The FloWater story begins at the intersection of necessity and innovation. In 2013, FloWater CEO and Co-founder Rich “Raz” Razgaitis identified a problem: people had lost trust in tap water, yet existing filtration hardware remained stuck in the past—antiquated, inefficient, and uninspiring.

A cascade of consequences followed: skyrocketing plastic bottle usage, increased consumption of sugary drinks, and chronic dehydration. FloWater was born out of the opportunity to fundamentally transform hydration.

While others settle for bottling tap water or basic filtration, we set out to reinvent water purification—delivering unmatched quality, exceptional taste, and a restired trust in tap water, all while eliminating plastic waste. This foundation of innovation became FloWater’s 7x Advanced Purification system.

We’re building a new infrastructure that makes safe hydration an integrated part of how we work, learn, exercise, and travel, transform water in real-time, exactly where and when people need it, making clean, safe drinking water universally accessible.
