The Water For Life Story

“WHY WE’RE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT PROTECTING ATLANTA FAMILIES’ DRINKING WATER BETTER THAN OUR COMPETITORS”

A pitiful little girl just sat in her family room belching, belching, and belching...   

ALL..DAY.. LONG! 


That was my 8 year old daughter, Jessie, and she was infected with Giardia, a parasite she picked up from the tap water. These cysts attach themselves to the small intestine, break open, and cause horrible dysentery, and then require surgery to cut it out! 

It was that experience that caused me to realize that my commercial water systems firm could have protected Jessie better in my own home than the government had protected her, with a product that we already sold, and the time was right for Water for Life residential water treatment to be born! 

WATER FOR LIFE PRODUCTS PROVIDE EXTRA PROTECTION OVER AND ABOVE WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WATER PROVIDES


You see, as Jessie’s Dad, I wondered why I couldn’t protect my daughter at home better than the government could! You see, I knew FedEx had been absolutely, positively delivering mail far faster than the government had for years, and private schools provided a superior education than most public schools. Why couldn’t Water for Life provide my daughter, and my fellow Atlanta families, drinking water that was safer and absolutely, positively, always fresh and forever pure…guaranteed with the technologies I already had access to! 


I was ready. My company, founded in 1989 as a commercial water treatment firm called Van Cleave Sales Associates, had already been specializing in treating commercial drinking water for taste and odor issues in restaurants for nearly two years when Jessie became infected with Giardia. 


Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts infest lakes and rivers like Lake Alatoona and Lanier, the Chattahoochee and the Etowah Rivers, which comprise most of our source waters in the Atlanta metro area. Have you really looked at those waters lately? They are great for running boats over, but drinking? Not so much! 


The parasites found in these rivers and lakes have a hard shell on their back, like a beetle, that make them chlorine tolerant. In addition, we now know, since the WQA Final Barrier Initiative study identified 5 strains of virus that can stand up to chlorine, that even some virus are now strong enough to make us deathly sick from the tap water. For several years now, we’ve even heard about scary brain eating virus in humans who swam in these waters and of late, we know about blue-green algae in the Chattahoochee River that has killed dogs who had originally just jumped in for a swim! 


Viruses like these were unheard of when I started in business in 1989, but recent research teaches that all these virus, bacteria, and cysts actually cause over 7.6 metric tons of diarrhea in North and Middle Georgia in 1 year. 


After studying to be a Certified Water Specialist, I was absolutely, positively sure I could protect my own family’s water better than the government and I knew I could beat the stinking city water quality by offering the best water systems that were available. 


By the way, we don’t buy systems from China. Never have. Most are American made. We have a few from Canada, which has horrible water, but great water systems. We get both our electric and our non electric water softeners from Ohio, which has some of the hardest water of any state in the Union, and also has the largest population in the country which does not use electricity, the Amish. 


In fact, we looked for and found the best and the most affordable products In every category, but we didn’t stop there! We made sure those products were user friendly and easy for a layman to understand. We ruled out multi level only sold be amateurs and franchise products that add 30% to the franchisor or the retail booth provider. 


We buy direct from factories and negotiate our shipping carriers directly. 


As much as possible, we also made sure our products were made by large companies that would stand behind their products with generous performance warranties, and finally, we made sure that our best products had third party endorsements from the Water Quality Association, the National Sanitation Foundation or Consumer Reports so that somebody besides us was certifying their performance 

Ironically, that’s Jessie helping me test water at my test counter, just 3 years later! Look carefully, I never had to worry that I would electrocute my myself! What’s more, when my 11 year old daughter saw this I didn’t have to worry. Jessie loved sticking her finger into the same water as an electrical device was in. Why? Because she knew she could trust that her Daddy’s water was so pure that it would not even conduct electricity! You see pure water doesn’t conduct electricity. Why? Because It’s the contaminants in contaminated water that conduct electricity! Pure water doesn’t! Yes, you can try this at home. Let us show you how! 


I searched for the best final barrier microbiological equipment and added Blackcomb UV Lights from Canada and we already had found Everpure 1/2 micron filters to beat Giardia in Chicago and later, we added KINETICO reverse osmosis systems from Ohio with protections that can actually purify using their patented Everclean rinse process to purify the water of those microbiological contaminants non electrically. 


That’s how I beat the government water just like FedEx had beat the post office!  I could build a line of products capable of legally purifying and protecting my customer’s drinking water at home. I could back up that claim in a way people could see and I could make sure it was Always Fresh & Forever Pure...Guaranteed!  Hmm... maybe that could even be our first slogan! 


So my commercial water systems firm, morphed into Water for Life, a complete residential and commercial drinking water systems firm, serving busy North and Middle Georgia families in their homes, offices, restaurants and industries, and managing national accounts. And we grew fast! 


Today, we show Moms and Dads how they can fiercely protect their families and Facilities Managers how they can fiercely protect their employees.  We sell whole house/building drinking, cooking, and ingredient water systems. We pick our products so carefully that they make us look good as an independent and so we never have to apologize for their quality or performance. 


Our line of tested products has grown so you can have more choices. Today, we sell over 110 water filters, drinking water appliances, reverse osmosis systems, point of entry filtration systems, water softeners, and UV lights for VERY insignificant dollars.

Yes, Insignificant dollars, because when you stop to think about the major role proper hydration of great tasting, clean, and healthy drinking water can play in improving public health...not to mention saving so much of the money that’s spent on bottled water, the energy it takes to transport those heavy bottles, the money, time, and space it takes disposing of all those bottles, and the needless doctor and hospital bills that we have to pay for health problems caused by dehydration and germs, the money you spend on a water system for your family of business is truly insignificant. And the best Water for Life systems are the last system you should ever have to buy. 

DRINKING PURE WATER IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY IS TRULY THE AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE WE ALL WANT!

Your body needs it, and in fact, cries out for it when you experience inflammation, headaches, indigestion, fainting, diarrhea, pimples, dry skin, hair loss, cramps, muscle soreness, or severe dehydration. Severe dehydration puts over 518,000 people a year in US hospital beds, and over 10,000 a year die from dehydration. And what do hospitals do to treat it? Hospitals simply give you water to drink!  Either intravenously or otherwise. At Water for Life, we say, “STOP DEHYDRATION” at home or in the office by simply drinking more water, up to 8-10 cups a day! 

Dehydration is very bad for your body! Drinking pure water in sufficient quantity is absolutely one of the best health habits your whole family or your entire workforce can get into, ESPECIALLY those with immuno-compromised systems: like everyone from seniors, diabetics, cancer, aids, or organ transplant patients, and yes, even healthy babies or pets! 

So our logo is the family...including one of our best consumers... your dog! Even our business customers’ employees receive a 15% discount if they buy a system for their home from us! 

Water for Life's mission is, "To fiercely protect All Atlantan’s drinking water more affordably." 


Today, so many years later, Water for Life is the recognized number one fierce protector of drinking water in the Atlanta area! We want to make sure "Better Thinking About Your Stinking Drinking!" Is not just a slogan. Our installers and maintenance techs know, your water’s got to be absolutely, positively what you paid for in every single one of our customer’s homes and businesses. It’s not enough for just one person to be a fierce protector. We teach all our people and all of our customers, the facts about pure water, so you’ll know how to be fierce protectors, too!

   Water for Life

Our Budget products 

won’t be undersold...guaranteed! We will match or beat any competitor’s written offer. 


Our Best Products are 

in a class by themselves, all backed up by large National companies, with worldwide parts and service availability, written warranties and certified by one of the two most respected Third Party Testing labs in the country to perform as advertised for a minimum of 10 years on the tanks and valves and 2 years on the media, (or we will repair or replace them for free* ) and they also have exchangeable components so they will be the last system you’ll ever need to buy. 

*replacement cartridges excepted


Our Better products also promise longer life replacements and moderate pricing, but still have generally longer warranties and better components than our competitors, but fewer features and benefits than our Best products, which are truly in a class by themselves with patents that nobody else can match. 

TESTING

Additionally, we have designed our "Triple Testing Program" to guarantee consistency in purity, great taste, and freshness to our customers over their lifetime. We test your product’s water to assure that you will absolutely, positively drink from the best available technology you can afford to purify your problem tap water in the most convenient ways possible. 


PRE...........POST...........ONGOING TESTS

First, we test your tap water before we install equipment to get a baseline and see what your family needs protections from. 


Second, we test your system’s product water after the sale to prove that the equipment you bought is absolutely, positively doing what we promised. When you think about it, without post testing, how would you know for sure that your equipment is working after you’ve paid for it? 


Third, we test your water annually for FREE on an ongoing basis when you buy equipment from us, and we professionally maintain it for one low annual fee or we show you how to maintain and test it yourself to keep it absolutely, positively running pure, as long as you get us a sample of the water. 


Without ongoing testing, how else could you be assured your equipment is still performing, as promised? 

Our "Triple Testing Program" is your assurance that if you trust Water for Life to protect your family’s drinking water, it will remain fresh, pure, and sweet over time! Will your plumber, internet company, or big box store guarantee that? NO WAY!


UPFRONT PRICING: IS IT ALWAYS YOUR BEST BUY?

You are THE protector of your family’s budget, too! So, we help you make sure you’ve thought seriously about not only the upfront price of your water system but also it’s total cost of ownership and who is going to service it after the sale. We understand. Why spend your precious time and money with somebody who is just out to sell you something. That’s why we take the time to educate you. We know what we’re doing. 


Should you really trust somebody working part time in the plumbing aisle for one week, a multi level salesperson “friend”, a nameless, faceless internet salesperson on the phone or even a commissioned salesperson in your home who doesn’t eat unless they sell you something? 


Think twice about it... you can have Water for Life’s Master Water Specialist, local pro’s with 34+ years experience treating Atlanta water, our Best in the nation Service Manager with 20 years maintenance and installation experience, or our Licensed Master Plumber with 56 years experience! Water for Life’s not just a name, it’s what we believe in and our service and installation expertise is what fiercely protects you over time! There is a difference in who you buy from.  A big one! 


How do we know? We pull out misapplied internet equipment or incorrect “do it yourselfer” installations every week, and we help people test their assumptions to save them from making fatal, money wasting errors on cheap, poor performing equipment every day! We hear stories about the internet sales person blaming the local installer and the local installer blaming the internet company all the time. Think about it. Why get stuck in the middle when you can deal direct with the local pros at Water for Life that sell long lasting pro style, best in class products, install them professionally and by code, and maintain them to guaranteed performance standards for life with their own dedicated employees?


What’s the one best way to be a fierce protector of your family’s drinking water?  Don’t settle for a one size fits all product that sounded good over the internet! Make sure you call Water for Life and discover the most proven solutions that Atlanta’s Master Water Specialists can provide for you within your budget.
