Our Story
In 2022, Bryan set out to apply his expertise in network automation to create a consumer product that could positively impact the environment. He identified laundry as one of the most overlooked, repetitive tasks that consumes vast amounts of water. Frustrated by the inefficiency of the laundry process, Bryan began exploring solutions.
During the winter of 2022, he experimented with various filters. By 2023, he shifted his focus to flocculants and coagulants but faced significant challenges. After countless discussions with water industry experts, Bryan finally uncovered a promising solution. Recognizing the need for additional expertise, he sought out collaborators.
In the spring of 2024, Bryan connected with Stephen through a mutual friend. Their shared passion for innovation made them a perfect team. Stephen’s background in mechanical design and meticulous attention to detail helped bring Bryan’s vision to life.
Soon, additional contributions from Jordan, specializing in application development, Justin, with expertise in mechanical systems and 3D printing, and Jonathan, focusing on construction and welding, led to the creation of the first fully functional, patent-pending washer-dryer combo. This innovative device reclaims water after each wash, addressing a critical issue for urban residents worldwide and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
