OPAL
Something's wrong with our water.The idea that we could all just take a few steps to our kitchen, twist a knob or lift a faucet and in return get healthy, pure, water vital for hydration, has been closer to a dream than reality.Today, most of our water is drinkable. Drinkable, not pure. Consuming tap water puts you at a compromise with your health, you may be getting the quantity of daily water intake you need, but not the quality.For most of the 21st century, we’ve enjoyed standing on the shoulders of the Roman Aqueducts, creating centralized water processing facilities that draw water from nearby natural sources and piping them into dense urban areas. Regardless of intent, the existence of questionable chemicals and contaminants from our tap water persists and it’s unlikely they’ll disappear on their own. Moving water hundreds of miles underground into your home feels like a modern miracle, but it doesn’t taste like one.For most of the Western world, it’s so convenient that it’s easy to overlook our drinking water. But you should care. You’re 60% made out of water.Drinking tap still makes sense in some situations, usually only as a last resort. Simple water filter tools exist and are easy to get ahold of. But there’s another monster hiding underneath the fridge. Microplastics.It wasn’t until the 1970s that plastic became highly prevalent in society. Driven by cost savings and durability, we’ve introduced them into our homes, our routines, and more recently, our water. We think it’s gone too far.Introducing OPAL Water, a new era of home water filtration from L9 Labs.- Water pitchers built to last forever.
- Cutting-edge filter technology.
- Glass and stainless steel components.
- Zero plastic.Our first OPAL product is called Clarity. It’s an over-the-counter water filter similar to Brita, but beautifully designed for world-class filtration without any plastic. More sizes and formats are on the way in 2024.In the past decade, we’ve been selling consumer goods and building consumer apps. Today, we intend to help lead a new era of hydration. The post-tap era is just a few clicks away.Stay OPAL.J & B
