Overview
Hydroviv is a water filtration brand whose filters are described as created by a PhD scientist and optimized for a home's water safety. The company states it custom-builds a solution based on a city's water data, and its drinking water filters are described as effective against PFAS, lead, arsenic, chlorine, chromium 6 and more. According to its own account, Hydroviv was founded out of a charitable effort during the Flint, Michigan water crisis, developing and donating high capacity lead removal filters to impacted families and child-centric organizations. It builds each system at its Knoxville, TN facility using a cartridge optimized for the customer's water.
History
According to Hydroviv's own account, the company was born from a charitable effort and began with the Flint, Michigan water crisis. It states that rumors of an unreported lead problem in Flint were being whispered through the water quality community, and that it recognized consumer-grade filters distributed to Flint residents would fail prematurely because they were not designed to handle the high lead levels found in Flint's water. At that point, Hydroviv was founded and began developing, building, and donating high capacity lead removal filters to impacted families and child-centric organizations in Flint, MI. These early donation efforts, described as occurring months before government responses and nationwide press, were applauded by The Chicago Tribune. Hydroviv states it continues to partner with much larger donation programs and has not taken a dime from anyone in Flint unless they insisted on paying. The company says it now uses water quality data to create water filters specific to customer needs, generating a water quality "fingerprint" for each system sold by pulling together data from local, county, state, and federal databases, and building each system at its Knoxville, TN facility using a cartridge optimized for the customer's water.
