Jake's Common Sense Questions
My name is Jake Bohenstiel the founder of the water h2ole Inc. I got interested in water and water treatment equipment in the 1980. I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that projected the water industry in all its forms to be one of the 10 largest businesses by the year 2000. I went to the Library and looked up tons of information about water. I started and founded a company called Wat-R-Boy in Winston-Salem, NC. It is one of the major water company’s there today. We are what we breathe, eat, and drink. Every person can very inexpensively make sure they are drinking some of the purest water on the planet. Give yourself the assurance of pure water with either equipment or bottled water from The Water H2ole Inc.
Water Holes Concepts
We at the water hole want no wasted motion, no extra steps, just efficiency from the front 2 the back. Here’s what we do to save money and what makes up the most efficient water company in Tidewater.
Three Step Process
- Unload empty bottles from truck and into bottle washer
- Fill sanitized bottled which goes down conveyer to truck and loaded
- Placed on customer’s porch or office, empties picked up. All done in one building located in Va Beach.
Multi-national companies process water in several different states. They have processing plants at spring sites, Reverse Osmosis plants in other states. The water is trucked from these plants to distribution centers. Then the water is handled so many more times, driven hundreds of miles, before it is even loaded on the delivery trucks. Then the empties are shipped back for refill and cleansing. This makes the water cost as much as 40% more. Quite a difference in price as you will see.
The Multinational Companies
Companies like Deer Park, Chrystal Springs along with all their other labels constitute the pinnacle of big corporate concepts loaded with extra unnecessary steps involved in getting their product to the consumer. They have bought out dozens of regional and local companies, many of whom were the major players in their area. When I describe these problems I am referring to the office and home segment using 3 and 5 gallon bottles you be the judge. If gas from texas was sold to Americans for 2 dollars per gallon how much would you buy from Iran Saudi Arabia, Venezuela for 3.5 a gallon? Not much I bet.
Our Water
We start with Virginia Beach Municipal water and pass it through Sediment Filtration. Then it passes through a water softener and then to high pressure pumps where we produce 300 p.s.i. as it enters the Reverse Osmosis chambers. This removes bacteria living and dead, virus, heavy metals, down to 2 parts per million. The water then passes through 4 solid block coconut carbon filters to remove chlorine, chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides. Just prior to bottling, the water passes though a final ultra-violet purifier. This concept produces some of the purest water available. We aren’t the only people using this method, whoever uses it also produces great water.
