When the water treatment industry’s leading trade publication decides to profile your company, it means something. Water Conditioning & Purification International — known in the industry as WCP Online — has been covering water technology for over six decades. Its industry profile of Altitude Water in early 2025 placed the company squarely at the center of a conversation the water sector is increasingly having: what does the future of clean water production actually look like?

The answer, according to the profile, increasingly looks like Altitude Water.

A Company Built on Two Decades of AWG Experience

Altitude Water was founded in 2019 by Jeff Szur, but his work in the atmospheric water generation space goes back to 2007 — meaning the company came to market with over a decade of production, engineering, and operational experience already built in. In 2009, Szur developed the first ozone purification AWG machine in Trinidad before returning to the United States to manufacture production-ready units in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, creating American jobs and ensuring the quality control that comes with domestic manufacturing.

That depth of experience is evident in the company’s product lineup, which spans the full range of water generation needs:

• Trident-12 (T-12): Produces 15 gallons of purified water daily for homes, offices, spas, clinics, RVs, marinas, and schools.
• T-100: Produces up to 180 gallons daily for residential apartments, hospitals, farms, greenhouses, and restaurants.
• T-200: Produces up to 365 gallons daily for military installations, farms, and commercial enterprises.
• Water Purification Box: Purifies up to 1,500 gallons per day of contaminated municipal water or groundwater for home or off-grid use.
• Disaster Relief Trailer: Mobile, solar-powered unit capable of 210 gallons of purified water daily, with Starlink internet and power generation built in.

The Patent That Sets Altitude Water Apart

Central to Altitude Water’s position in the market is Utility Process Patent 7,272,947, which makes the company the only AWG provider on the market legally authorized to use ozone technology to purify water during and after the generation process. Ozone purification operates at the molecular level, eliminating bacteria, viruses, fungi, and chemical contaminants far more effectively than conventional filtration alone — and without leaving any chemical taste or byproduct in the water.

This patent creates a meaningful competitive moat. It means that every competitor in the AWG market is producing water to a lower purity standard than Altitude Water’s systems — and has no legal pathway to close that gap.

Addressing the Water Quality Crisis

The WCP Online profile situates Altitude Water within the context of a growing water quality crisis that is affecting communities across the United States and globally. PFAS “forever chemicals,” microplastics, nanoplastics, lead contamination from aging infrastructure, and agricultural runoff are compromising tap water quality in ways that conventional municipal treatment systems were not designed to address.

AWG technology offers a fundamentally different response to this crisis. Rather than trying to filter an increasingly contaminated supply of ground or surface water, it bypasses the contaminated supply entirely — generating fresh water from atmospheric moisture that has not been in contact with industrial pollutants, agricultural chemicals, or corroding pipes. The result is water that starts clean and stays clean through every stage of the Altitude Water purification process.

For homeowners, businesses, hospitals, schools, and communities looking for a genuine solution to water quality concerns — not just a better filter on a bad input — Altitude Water’s systems represent a paradigm shift.
