Everyone around the world needs to drink more safe water — even in developed countries like the US, it is not always accessible. If the Flint, Michigan disaster showed us anything, it’s that no one is guaranteed safe drinking water. Even where water is safe to drink, it is not always readily available or convenient to get. Consider the current options:
We have a very big problem with hydration and obesity among our kids in schools across the country. The problem is causing action from the very top — Michelle Obama’s “Drink Up” campaign is aimed at getting kids to drink more water and less soda.
So…how do we get filtered, chilled water that is convenient and affordable?
VITAFILTA
Available in two options:
VitaFilta is a revolutionary filtration and cooling system. Quench your thirst anytime and anywhere with great tasting filtered water from the VitaFilta Indoor Series Personal Water Cooler and Filter.This premium mini cooler and filter turns regular tap water into ice cold, thirst-quenching, filtered water.
The outdoor series is dual battery or electric operated and filters water from a river, lake or stream. VitaFilta provides huge savings with your filtered water costing only 11 to 12 cents/gallon. Regardless of ambient temperature, your water will be kept at a crisp 40-44°. The compact design has a small footprint measuring only 23 inches high and weighing only 7 pounds making it portable and practical for use in many different locations.
Using the industry’s most advanced technology for cooling, VitaFilta operates silently, making it ideal for a kitchen, bedroom, office, small apartment, patio use and more. It has a capacity of around 2.5 gallons and a fast flow tap. It has a spill-free plunger and can be refilled through the top lid or remotely by detaching the bottle.
All materials are environmentally friendly and BPA free. The tabletop cooler uses about 35% of the energy used by traditional full size water coolers. The replaceable filters are tested and certified by SGS Laboratories and remove all contaminants and impurities from our drinking water while retaining the important minerals we would want to preserve.
VitaFilta is unique in that it provides clean, healthy, filtered, ice cold drinking water to anyone, anytime, and anywhere. It fills a massive hole in the industry that was completely missed. VitaFilta is the world’s #1 mini water dispenser that chills andfilters at the same time. Consider:
VitaFilta makes all of this possible.
Our Mission:
Early test sales in the US market generated sales of over 5,000 units and revenue of over $500,000 in late 2015. VitaFilta is the next generation product from the same team that brought Little Luxury to the US market. With proven market acceptance, we listened to what the market told us, and developed the next generation VitaFilta design. What the market really needs is a convenient and affordable take-anywhere, do-anything, modern design mini water filter and cooler that functions well and allows people to maintain their health and drink more water.
The new age design, advanced technology and operational improvements make VitaFilta a whole new breed of water filter. We have gained acceptance of VitaFilta from our existing customers and look forward to entering the market in late 2016. Our retailer list includes Bed Bath & Beyond, Staples, Home Depot, Dick’s, Cabela’s, Sears, Sam’s Club, SCS, and Amazon, with many more in the works!

Bed Bath & Beyond, Staples, Home Depot, Dick’s, Cabela’s, Sears, Sam’s Club, SCS, Amazon, SP Richards, 11 Main, and Zulily are all listed retailers that we are working with both online and in their brick-and-mortar locations.

Sam’s Club has committed to 20 test stores, and Staples has planning in motion for 500 stores.
We are in communication with QVC, Target, Walgreens, CVS, West Marine, Bass Pro Shops, Gander Mountain, Academy Sports, independent retailers, and other vertical markets including hotel groups and cruise lines.
A new patent is in the works on VitaFilta.
We are exhibiting at the Outdoor Retailer Show in August 2016, CES and the Housewares Show in early 2017 to continue the growth of our retail account listings, in addition to our plans to scale Vitafilta into other markets.
There is a huge opportunity for VitaFilta to enter the hospitality market. Major hotel groups and cruise lines are a great fit for VitaFilta — in every room, right next to the coffee maker, there could be a VitaFilta. We have made initial contact with the Hilton Group and Royal Caribbean.
In addition to the indoor and outdoor models, we are extending the line to include executive and licensed sports models.
As the brand grows, we will introduce new products and accessories such as water bottles and pitchers in 2017.
