The Alter Ego Project

 

Welcome to The Alter Ego Project!

Five years ago, we launched the AQUAOVO experience to enhance the experience of water with breathtaking designs and superior functionality. Our goal: Bring back water at the center of everyone's daily lives. And by that we mean every human being on Earth and most specifically the poorest among us who don't have access to clean drinking water on a daily basis. Sadly, we're talking about millions of people.

The Alter Ego Project is an initiative that will result in new product designs and partnerships with the primary goal of getting a clean drinking water lifetime access to our alter egos in a developing country.

First of many new products and projects to come, the Alter Ego personal water filtration and hydration duo is a high end designer product with much more than materialistic value. Drink good water with style for you and your family and make a life saving difference for your alter ego in a developing country! Find out more below.

Update

Thanks to a wonderful collective effort we reached and exceeded our goals for both phase I and phase II of our Alter Ego crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo.com and we successfully raised nearly $90 000 to make this project a reality! And thanks to your enthusiasm in supporting the Alter Ego project's genesis, more than 600 people will have access to safe drinking water for life!

This means that we are on the way to produce and market the Alter Ego duo to help hundreds and even thousands of people to get access to clean water in Guatemala and around the world!

Please pre-order now to ensure that you are among the first on the planet to get your Alter Ego. This way we will be able to help even more people get access to clean water!

How it works

Each Alter Ego duo is tied to raising funds for inspiring, impactful water charities that are committed to bringing fresh and clean water to the millions still in need around the world.

For each Alter Ego duo you purchase, a water charity will bring fresh and clean water to someone in need. The more you purchase, the more you become part of the change. It's as simple as that!

We are currently finalizing partnerships with charity: water , and ecofiltro:one amongst others.

Ecofiltro: one is a 501(c)(3) public charity who delivers filters to rural communities in a sustained manner that creates clean water for life.

They reach rural communities by partnering with local community leadership, educating them about the importance of clean drinking water. Whether they get water from a natural spring, rain run-off, or contaminated well, the goal is to help villagers understand the health benefits of filtered water. They know the only way to do this sustainably is to organize communities to take control of their own health the same way affluent nations do.

 

 

Alter Ego and ecofiltro: one

When you buy an Alter Ego duo, funds will be given to ecofiltro:one. These funds will be used to give ecofilters to Guatemalan villagers in need of clean water.  This financial help will allow Guatemalans to implement a controllable, sustainable program to get replacement filters for the rest of their lives. For every 3 Alter Ego duos you purchase, 1 Guatemalan will get fresh, clean water for life. Act now!

Alter Ego satisfies your thirst for water

Alter Ego is a personal water filtration and hydration duo made of two components: Alter, the bottle and Ego, the water filter assembly. It was designed to accommodate the urban traveller and the outdoor enthusiast on a day expedition, as well as the humanitarian worker in a developing country, for which access to clean water is a matter of survival.

The Alter Ego duo is your perfect hydration companion,reminding you to drink water daily and taking away the excuse of not drinking enough water:  The powerful filtration technology allows for the treatment of any questionable source of fresh water; from a chlorinated water source in the city to a dirty river in a foreign country.

The Alter Ego duo is also a must have in case of natural disaster. When the power goes off and the water supply becomes unsafe, your Alter Ego duo guarantees you a reliable and steady personal water supply.

 

 

Made of safe and tough, BPA-free, Eastman Tritan copolymer, the Alter bottle is a premium choice in terms of personal hydration. Its seamless V-shaped trigon design allows for a grip that fits all hand sizes.  The unique shape will fit most cup holders and it prevents the bottle from rolling away!Designed to open on both ends, Alter is easy to wash and its wide mouth opening allows the use of ice cubes. It’s the perfect way to enjoy clean and fresh water with no metallic aftertaste. It can be purchased and used with or without the Ego water filter assembly.

Capacity: 700 ml – 24 oz

Equipped with EPA-approved filtration technology made in the USA by Revolve, our filter cartridge is designed to filter out contaminants up to six logs (99.9999%) and renders clean water that is free of chemical and organic contaminants, as well as viruses, bacteria and cysts. This means you can instantly drink water worry-free from nearly any fresh water body in the world. The filter cartridge is available in two different models: Outdoor (99.99%) and Globetrotter (99.9999%). The filtration capacity varies upon the model. Outdoor: up to 200 gallons (750 liters) Globetrotter: up to 75 gallons (285 liters).
