Water Of Life® Seeks To Purify Safe Drinking Water For Everyone

Our Mission: To Eliminate Distress Caused by Unsafe Water

Founded in 2005, Water Of Life® set out with the goal to create a better drinking water purifier. We knew that a better drinking water purifier had to be more (I) effective, (II) portable, (III) rugged and (IV) energy efficient than past technologies. Furthermore, we realized that a better drinking water purifier should be easy to (A) store, (B) deploy, (C) operate and (D) maintain. Fortunately, advances in technology and years of research and development have resulted in a new and substantially better way to purify drinking water. We call it UVX. It is exclusively available on RescueWater™ 2000.
