Markets — Government & Institutional
Public water, held to a higher standard of proof.
After filtration removes what shouldn't be there, our systems restore what should — measured, verified, and recorded, for the people you serve.
The problem
The public doesn't take your word for it. Good.
Trust is the deliverable
Families, staff, and boards want more than a filter sticker on a fountain — they want evidence that the water is what you say it is. A system that measures itself gives you evidence instead of assurances.
Fountains nobody uses
Heavily filtered water tastes flat, and flat water loses to vending machines. Restoring mineral taste is how hydration programs actually change behavior.
Records on request
Auditors, parents, and public-records requests all ask the same question: what happened, when? Systems should answer from a log, not from memory.
Budgets measured in years
Institutional equipment is bought once and expected to behave through several budget cycles — with maintenance that's planned, simple, and documented.
The fix
Engineering that assumes it will be audited.
ActiveWater systems finish filtered water by dosing minerals against measured flow and verifying the result by conductivity. Every design decision downstream of that follows the same institutional logic: prove it, log it, and fail to the safest possible state.
- Verified finishing — every dose is measured against flow and checked by conductivity.
- Records built in — dosing events and faults are logged and exportable for reporting.
- Local-first operation — no cloud dependency and no user accounts required to pour water.
- Fail-safe defaults — any fault stops dosing and passes plain filtered water.
- Planned maintenance — sealed, swappable cassettes any facilities tech can service on schedule.
Procurement & evaluation
Built to be bought carefully.
We keep institutional buying simple: engineering documentation and spec sheets on request, evaluation units for pilot sites, and direct access to the engineers who built the system. Our documentation says what the hardware measurably does — and we'll tell you plainly if we're not the right fit for your requirement yet.
- Requirements conversation. Your facility, your filtration, your reporting needs — and your procurement process, so we fit it rather than fight it.
- Documentation package. Specifications, materials information, and maintenance schedules for your engineering review.
- Pilot site. An evaluation unit in one location with defined success criteria, before anyone commits to a fleet.

Common questions
Are you on a purchasing schedule or contract vehicle?
Not yet — we're an early-stage company and we won't imply otherwise. We support standard quotes and purchase orders today, and we'll pursue cooperative vehicles as institutional demand develops. If your process requires one, tell us; it informs our roadmap.
Is any student, patient, or staff data involved?
No. Systems operate locally, require no user accounts, and collect no personal information at the tap. Our privacy policy reflects the same philosophy.
What certifications do the systems carry?
Wetted materials are selected for food-contact and drinking-water service, and formal certifications are part of our production roadmap. We document current status precisely during evaluation — and we won't claim a mark we don't hold.
