Mountain View, CA — Zuvo Water LLC, a global innovator of water treatment products for consumer and industrial use, announces the introduction of the Zuvo™ Water Purator™, a new point-of-use water treatment system that is more cost effective than pitcher filters and bottled water. Zuvo is making it easy for people to reduce the waste, expense, and environmental impact of bottled water with a compact, chemical-free water system that attaches to a standard kitchen faucet or is connected in-line with plumbing under the sink.
Zuvo harnesses the power of the Sun and Earth in a new process that replicates “Nature’s Water Cleansing Process.” Because the system is not restricted to a container or pitcher, it’s perfect for a family, chef, athlete, or anyone who wants clean, safe water without the wait or the waste. The Company estimates the cost of drinking Zuvo water will be as little as $.06 per gallon, compared to nearly $.20 per gallon for pitcher-filtered water and over $1 per gallon for bottled water.
“Our company is on a quest to deliver superior drinking water at an affordable price, and to reduce the impact of plastic water bottles on our environment,”
The Zuvo Water Purator mimics nature’s water cleansing process by exposing tap water to ultraviolet light and ozone to create a harmful environment for water-borne bacteria and microorganisms, trapping particles and dissolved solids in a carbon filter, and exposing the filtered water to a final UV pass before it leaves the unit. This “puration”
The Zuvo Water Purator’s patented 5-Step Puration process works as follows:
Step 1: Ozonation
Ozone, one of the most powerful oxidants known to destroy contaminants, is created within the unit. The ultraviolet (UV) light produces two wavelengths of UV. One is a germicidal wavelength, and the other produces ozone. This ozone is siphoned and mixed with incoming tap water. When ozone oxidizes, it leaves no chemical residue and improves the taste of drinking water.
Step 2: UV Light Exposure
Instead of trying to filter out bacteria and microbes, the patented Zuvo process uses both UV and ozone to create a harmful environment that destroys them.
Step 3: Photo-Oxidation
Photo-oxidation is what sets Zuvo Water Purator apart, combining ozone and UV in a patented process. The UV “catalyzes”
Step 4: Activated Carbon Filtration
A high-performance 2 micron filter traps dissolved lead, chlorine, and microscopic particles such as parasitic cysts.
Step 5: Dual-Pass UV
As further protection against microorganisms, Zuvo Water Purator exposes the filtered water to a second high-intensity UV pass before the water leaves the unit.
The Zuvo Water Purator is available at an MSRP of $299.99 from Amazon.com and Frontgate.com, with additional distribution through select retailers in the near future.

Reasons Why Clean Water is Important
• Our bodies are made up of 70% water, illustrating the importance of consuming quality water.
• Tap water in America may at any given time contain levels of synthetic chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, and/or chlorination by-products that pose potential health risks. Reducing or eliminating these contaminants prior to consumption keeps our bodies from becoming the filters.
• A child’s immune and detoxification systems are still developing into and throughout their early teens. Exposure even to low levels of toxic chemicals in childhood years has been linked to increased risks of degenerative disease later in life. A mixture of chemicals such as chlorine, lead, herbicides, pesticides, and a host of other contaminants have been found in our water supplies, and in some cases, even in bottled water. These trace levels of waterborne chemicals have been documented to have adverse health effects on small children.
• Bottled water has been shown to contain many of the same contaminants and chemicals found in tap water. In the U.S., a gallon of bottled water can cost as much as a gallon of gasoline. More than 60 million plastic bottles are disposed in landfills each day in the U.S. alone, creating enormous environmental waste issues.
