FFloWater provides commercial water purification via Refill Stations that connect to existing waterlines to deliver clean, great-tasting water while cutting plastic waste. The stations use a 7-stage purification (7x Advanced Purification) to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, then add minerals and electrolytes, raise alkalinity, and filter with coconut carbon for taste. It operates on a B2B model—leasing or selling the units with ongoing maintenance and filter replacement—serving offices, schools, hotels, gyms, and retailers. After merging with Bluewater, the combined company, Bluewater North America, aims to scale, expand globally, and improve supply chains, with a goal of shifting users away from bottled water toward a reliable, eco-friendly point-of-use solution.

FloWater introduces commercial-grade purification for residential use. FloWater has introduced a residential version of its commercial Refill Station for purchase and installation across the United States. This system features the same purification technology it uses in workplaces, gyms, schools, and hotels to provide high-quality water at home. FloWater's system utilizes a seven-stage purification process to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants and enhance the water with minerals and electrolytes. There are two options for residential purchase: FloWater Classic and FloWater Essential. The classic option features multiple temperatures and a high-volume dispenser while the essential version offers a compact design for a lower-volume environment.
Standing Rock leaders mark 10-year anniversary of Dakota Access resistance with permanent clean water infrastructure investment from FloWater. STANDING ROCK, ND - May 21, 2026 - Ten years after the Dakota Access Pipeline protests galvanized a global movement around water protection and Indigenous sovereignty, leaders at Standing Rock are marking the anniversary with something unexpected - infrastructure. Since beginning in 2025 and completing in 2026, community leaders installed permanently donated FloWater Refill Stations, valued at approximately $250,000, in high use locations across the reservation. This provides long-term access to purified, trusted, and clean drinking water sourced erectly from existing municipal lines. The partnership initiative between Standing Rock and FloWater, led locally by Cody Two Bears, Founder of Indigenized Energy, reflects a continued commitment to independence and sovereignty on tribal land. Not limited to just land and energy, but also with water systems that communities need to rely upon every single day. For years, many families have relied on trucked-in bottled water due to aging pipes and infrastructure challenges, which include man-made contaminants that have made their way into our lakes, rivers, tributaries, and soil - which ultimately makes its way into drinking water systems. While bottled water provided temporary relief, it comes at a significant financial cost and increased plastic waste across the reservation. The newly installed FloWater Refill Stations completely shift that model, by effectively replacing decades old infrastructure and suboptimal drinking water by changing the last five feet of water lines through a proprietary piece of hardware provided by FloWater which creates on-site purification and optimization of drinking water. In turn, these systems remove up to 99.999% of contaminants, while eliminating dependence on outside supply chains and restoring confidence in local water sources. "We have two systems in our community centers, one in our Veterans Memorial Building and one in our Community Gym," said Kendrick Eagle, tribal leader and longtime advocate active during the Dakota Access Pipeline resistance. "These are places where our people gather for ceremonies, basketball tournaments, funerals, meetings. Clean water in those spaces matters." The systems connect directly to existing water lines and use advanced multi-stage filtration to reduce contaminants including lead, PFAS, and microplastics, while encouraging reusable bottle use and reducing plastic waste. For Two Bears, the anniversary is not just about remembering 2016. "The work didn't end ten years ago," he said. "Water sovereignty means building systems that serve our people long-term. We shouldn't have to depend on pallets of plastic bottles to hydrate our families. This is about health, dignity, and self-determination." The Refill Stations were donated in partnership with Indigenized Energy and Standing Rock leadership by FloWater, a Colorado-based water innovation company, named several times on the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies in the United States "Access to trusted drinking water should not depend on geography or income," said Rich Razgaitis, Co-Founder and CEO of FloWater. "This initiative was led by Standing Rock leadership. We are proud to support their long-term infrastructure vision." As the community reflects on the 10-year milestone of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, leaders emphasize that protecting water is not a past event-it is an ongoing responsibility. This anniversary marks not only remembrance, but reinvestment.

~ Schools, Hotels, Fitness Centers, and Workplaces Across the Country Driving the Change with the Complete Transformation of Tap Water with FloWater Refill Stations~DENVER, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With a recent government study showing 27% of America's population may be drinking contaminated water, Denver-based FloWater, maker of Advanced Purification Refill Stations, today announces a major expansion of its sales force to meet the exploding demand for safe, plastic-free water
One company, Denver-based FloWater, is launching a campaign highlighting a fundamentally different and plastic-free way forward. The campaign, running throughout December, features cheeky, not-so-subtle messaging that exposes the ugly truth about plastic bottles and draws a sharp contrast between wasteful, plastic-wrapped water and FloWater's waste-free, Always Unwrapped hydration. FloWater has been taking on 'Big Beverage' for over a decade with a safer, better-tasting and plastic-free hydration solution for business and consumers. The multi-channel campaign features a billboard in front of big beverage's Atlanta headquarters. Creative for the digital billboards includes, "They Wrap Water in Plastic: We Don't. FloWater, Always Unwrapped." On social channels, the campaign continues the "No Plastic: Always Unwrapped" messaging, while playing off iconic Big Beverage advertising and challenges consumers to demand a cleaner solution anywhere they work, rest, or play
