About Spouts of Water

SPOUTS was created in 2011 with the simple idea that ceramic water filters could be made and sold locally, providing an amazingly effective product through a sustainable business model. Our first factory shared the space with 200 chickens where it took us X weeks to create a single filter. Since 2011, we have increased our factory’s production capacity to 10,000 filters per month, diversified our product offering and provided 1 million people with clean water, clean air and clean energy. As a social enterprise, we focus on reinvesting our profits to achieve sustainability and expand our reach. Our highest priority is ensuring our business is able to continue serving customers for years to come, maximizing the positive impact for households who use our products.
