Our Story
Reuben Vollmer was at work in Los Angeles when he got a call from his parents. They received a notice from the State of California that they could lose their water rights during the drought. They’d recently relocated to a small ranch in the mountains to enjoy retirement. Their dreams of rural golden years harvesting olives from a modest orchard could vanish in an instant.
Walking his dog the next morning, Reuben considered the dew covering a wide lawn. Why couldn’t moisture in the air be the water supply for a ranch?
For the next decade, he put his engineering talents to work inventing and innovating atmospheric water harvesting processes for a variety of uses.
Early on, Reuben took time to visit Flint, speaking directly with families affected by the contaminated water crisis. The heartbreaking stories he heard only strengthened his resolve to help create a better future for drinking water.
Over time, that vision evolved into Spout: a company building a home device that delivers exceptional drinking water. No pipes required.
After five more years of experimentation, prototypes, trial and error and fine tuning, the Spout Atmospheric Water Harvester is ready for the home.
But this is only our first chapter.
We won’t stop innovating and creating new products until water travesties like the one in Flint are a thing of the past.
