Family enjoying the day
Every family deserves to enjoy wellness be an accessible and simple part of the spaces they use everyday.

Elite Water Systems was created in 2006 to meet the need for true indoor air and water quality across America.

The problem is that our indoor air and water quality does not meet the standard of common sense. We think clear and we assume its clean. Unfortunately, countless stories like those that made the news in Flint, Michigan are all too common in homes across America. Often times, if a chemical or contaminant isn't addressed by regulations then it simply isn't removed; even if the science shows it isn't safe. It's time we addressed this problem immediately.
Our mission is to create and deliver easy access to the best indoor health and wellness solutions for air and water. Why? Because we believe that homeowners deserve to live without health and wellness constraints.
