The Journey Of Our Water

Pure Starts At The Source.

From volcanic rock aquifers to commercial grade filtration. Every drop of Quench earns its purity the hard way.

Mauna Kea volcanic source
Water Source

Volcanic Rock.
Ancient Aquifers.

The journey of our water begins at the source. In Kohala, Honoka'a, and Hilo, our sources are wells. Rainwater is naturally filtered through underground porous volcanic rock for roughly 25 years before it reaches the aquifer.

In Waimea, the source is Kohakohau and Waikoloa streams. All other municipalities source their water from wells. These waters first pass through municipal treatment to meet EPA and state drinking water standards.

Then Quench takes over. We run that already safe water through our 8 step commercial grade filtration to deliver the purest, best tasting water on the Big Island.

8 Step Filtration

Nothing Skipped.
Nothing Left Behind.

Every Quench station is equipped with the same commercial grade 8 step system. Eight stages of protection between the municipal tap and your glass.

01

5 Micron Sediment

Removes visible particulate: dirt, sand, dust, debris. First line of defense.

02

1 Micron Sediment

Finer second stage catch for turbidity and suspended solids.

03

Carbon Tank

Granular activated carbon removes organic chemicals, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, chlorine and chloramine.

04

5 Micron Sediment

Second sediment round protects the reverse osmosis stage from any carry over particles.

05

1 Micron Sediment

Sub micron polish. Everything headed into RO is pristine.

06

Reverse Osmosis

Removes sodium, chloride, copper, chromium, lead, arsenic, fluoride, radium, sulfates, nitrates, phosphorous, cyanide and endocrine disruptors.

07

Coconut Carbon

0.5 micron activated coconut shell block. Adsorbs remaining chlorine, sediment, VOCs, tastes and odors.

08

UV Light

Destroys 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, cysts, E. coli, influenza, typhoid, salmonella and meningitis. Chemical free.

What Each Stage Removes

Crystal Clear Benefits.

Sediment Filters

Remove visible particulate matter and any dirt, sand, dust or debris caught by the micron rating. Eliminates turbidity, the cloudiness from suspended solids.

Carbon Media

The best known treatment for organic chemicals, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, chloramine and their by products.

Reverse Osmosis

Eliminates a vast list of contaminants: lead, arsenic, fluoride, radium, sulfates, nitrates, phosphorous, cyanide and endocrine disruptors.

Coconut Shell Carbon

Works by adsorption. Most effective at removing remaining chlorine, sediment, VOCs, and any lingering tastes or odors.

UV Sterilization

Destroys 99.99% of harmful micro organisms including viruses, bacteria, cysts, E. coli, salmonella and typhoid. Without a single chemical.

The Result

Pure, crisp, great tasting water. Tested, maintained, and delivered from commercial grade equipment at every single Quench station.
