Saratoga Pure Water Systems is a new company working to bring clean, safe, and economical drinking options to businesses, small and large.
Owner Richard O’Brien said the need for such a service became especially critical during the height of the pandemic.
“We started the idea last March when COVID hit. I had a friend who started a similar business and he was a mentor. I learned about the product and really believed in it. COVID brought on an additional layer with the interest in getting clearer purer drinking water to people,” he said.
O’Brien has a background that includes years in sales so he felt confident when he dove into opening his own business. He said the product basically sells itself, and he can back that up with the 100 percent retention he has built and maintained with customers.
“We give a free seven-day, risk-free trial, and every one of those trials has turned into a customer. We can bring a solution to every prospective customer,” said O’Brien.
As owner of Saratoga Pure, he is a bottleless water and ice cooler dealer. He said the system is not only cost effective but also environmentally friendly.
He said they offer a single-source water purification system that takes tap and well water through nine stages of filtration, including reverse osmosis. The process is finished by adding healthy minerals into the water.
Because the water coolers are bottleless, it eliminates the need for delivery people, installation, cleaning, lifting heavy jugs or storage of large water jugs and bottles. He said the systems can be found in places like car dealerships, where a company wants to supply clean water to not only its employees, but customers as well.
Currently, the company only services businesses, but he said they are looking to eventually branch out into residential contracts.
Saratoga Pure Water Systems is located at 40 Farm to Market Road, Building 3, Unit 13 in Halfmoon. The company can be reached at 518-323-7500 or online at www.saratogah2o.com.
