Imagine never needing to buy bottled water again—never worrying about microplastics, PFAS, or lead in your drinking water. That’s exactly what Spout, the revolutionary countertop atmospheric water generator (AWG), is making possible.
After selling out its first production run, Spout has officially begun shipping to early adopters, marking a major step forward in the fight against plastic waste and contaminated municipal water supplies.
With its sleek, compact design and NASA-inspired filtration technology, Spout pulls moisture from the air, purifies it, and remineralizes it—delivering 99% pure, alkaline drinking water, free from harmful contaminants. But beyond providing cleaner, healthier hydration, Spout is also tackling one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time: plastic pollution.
Eliminating Billions of Plastic Water Bottles
Bottled water is one of the biggest contributors to plastic waste. Every year, an estimated 500 billion plastic bottlesare produced worldwide, and less than 10% of them are recycled. The rest end up in landfills, incinerators, or worse—our oceans. With Spout, households can eliminate up to 8,760 plastic bottles per year, drastically reducing plastic consumption and waste.
And it’s not just about the bottles themselves. The carbon footprint of bottled water is staggering. From manufacturing and transportation to refrigeration and disposal, the energy-intensive bottled water industry generates millions of tons of CO₂ annually. Spout cuts out the middleman, providing fresh water without trucks, factories, or plastic packaging.
The Future of Water is Decentralized
Spout isn’t just an alternative to bottled water—it’s also a solution to municipal water contamination. A growing body of research has revealed alarming levels of PFAS (“forever chemicals”), microplastics, and heavy metals in public water supplies. In fact, over 93% of tap water in the U.S. contains contaminants linked to serious health risks. Spout offers a way to take control of water quality at home, bypassing aging infrastructure and questionable filtration methods.
How Spout Works
Unlike a traditional water filter that simply removes some contaminants from tap water, Spout generates water completely independently—straight from the air. It uses:
- Hospital-grade air filtration to ensure only clean air enters the machine.
- A proprietary clay wheel absorption system (instead of direct condensation, like a dehumidifier) to extract water.
- NASA-inspired purification, including electrostatic membranes and activated carbon, to remove impurities.
- A remineralization process that restores essential minerals like magnesium, sodium, and calcium for optimal taste and health benefits.
- UV purification technology to keep the water fresh and safe—without chlorine or other chemicals.
With the ability to produce up to 2.5 gallons of pure water per day, Spout ensures access to clean, healthy water wherever electricity is available—no plumbing required.
A Game-Changer for Sustainability
Beyond eliminating plastic waste, Spout also reduces the demand for groundwater extraction, a growing environmental concern. As aquifers deplete and drought conditions intensify, finding alternative sources of drinking water is becoming more critical than ever. Atmospheric water generation offers a sustainable path forward—harnessing the humidity already in the air to create fresh drinking water without straining natural resources.
“With just 5% of urban households worldwide adopting Spout, we could prevent billions of plastic bottles from entering our environment every year,” says Reuben Vollmer, Spout’s CEO and co-founder. “This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about giving people a way to take control of their water quality while making a real, lasting impact on the planet.”
The Next Step in Water Evolution
Spout’s first production run may have sold out instantly, but more units will be available soon. If you’re ready to ditch plastic bottles for good and start making your own pure, sustainable drinking water, you can learn more at spoutwater.com.
The future of water isn’t in pipes or plastic—it’s in the air. And with Spout, that future is finally here.
