EcoWater Turns 100: A Century of Innovation, Trust, and Better Water

2025 marks a momentous milestone for EcoWater: 100 years of delivering cleaner, safer water to homes and businesses around the world. For a century, we’ve been pioneers in water treatment, setting the standard for quality and innovation in an industry that profoundly impacts everyday life. From humble beginnings to becoming a global leader, we’re thrilled to celebrate this historic occasion with the people at the heart of our journey: our Dealers and our customers.

100 Years of Innovation

At EcoWater, we believe better water means a better life—and that belief has driven our innovations for the past century. From cutting-edge water softeners to advanced reverse osmosis systems, our products don’t just treat water; they enhance lives. Our latest breakthroughs, like AI-enabled technology and app-based water management, continue to redefine efficiency and convenience, making EcoWater systems among the most advanced and effective on the market today.

As the world changes, so do water challenges. We’ve evolved to meet these challenges head-on, creating solutions that address modern concerns like hard water, scale buildup, and emerging contaminants, including PFAS. But while technology has driven us forward, our mission remains to deliver cleaner, safer water for every family and home.

Celebrating Our Dealers: The Experts in Water Treatment

Our success over the past 100 years wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise and dedication of our Dealer Network. They’re not just partners; they’re the foundation of our business. Across communities big and small, EcoWater Dealers are the trusted experts, helping families and businesses find the right solutions for their water needs.

As we prepare to celebrate this milestone, we want to honor our Dealers’ vital role in making EcoWater the brand it is today. Together, we’ve delivered cleaner water, better health, and a brighter future to millions—and we’re just getting started.

Looking Ahead: The Next 100 Years

While we’re proud of our legacy, our sights are firmly set on the future. The next chapter of EcoWater will be defined by continued innovation, new technologies, and an unwavering commitment to solving water challenges. We’ll keep pushing boundaries to ensure that our customers and Dealers have access to the very best in water treatment.

Commitment to Innovation

It all started with the world’s first patent for an automatic water softener, which EcoWater founder Lynn G. Lindsay Sr. received in 1925. Since those early days, EcoWater has been sharply focused on solving our customers’ needs through innovation. When Mr. Lindsay got that first patent, home water needs were a lot different. No one was worried about microplastics or “forever chemicals” back then—because they didn’t exist yet.

While we’re not sure what home water needs everyone will have 100 years from now, we will strive to remain a leader within the industry, always focused on our customers and helping realize their goals.
