About Us
Our Story
My name is Bob, inventor and founder of PortaWell. What began as a simple question from my wife—“What would we do about water in an emergency?”—turned into a mission to make reliable, long‑term water filtration accessible to everyday families. After researching the market, I discovered that most portable systems were designed for camping, delivered low flow rates, relied on proprietary filters, and simply weren’t sustainable in a serious, prolonged crisis. I set out to change that.
Our Mission
PortaWell exists to give you peace of mind. In an age when our world depends entirely on electricity—and when municipal water supplies could be compromised or unavailable for weeks, months, or longer—you need a solution you can count on. We’re committed to delivering an affordable, high‑flow, easy‑to‑maintain system that removes sediment, microbes, and other contaminants so you and those you care about never have to worry about where your next glass of water will come from.
Why We're Different
- Family‑Built in Utah: As a retired nuclear engineer, I designed and engineered PortaWell. We manufacture and distribute each patented unit straight from our family workshop—no middlemen, no big‑box markups.
- Website‑Only Sales: We sell exclusively at www.myportawell.com because we value the thoughtful customer who takes time to research, learn, and prepare—rather than the impulse buyer.
- Award‑Winning Innovation: In October 2023, PortaWell was honored with the “Cost-effective Mitigation Product of the Year” award at the Disaster ExpoUSA Convention—a testament to our relentless focus on performance and durability.
Our Commitment
- Transparent Support: From filter selection to troubleshooting, our small team is just an email or phone call away.
- Continuous Improvement: We listen to user feedback and regularly refine our designs and processes to keep PortaWell at the forefront of emergency water filtration.
- Sustainable Preparedness: Every component is chosen for longevity, reliability, and ease of replacement—so your PortaWell system remains an effective safeguard for years to come.
Thank you for trusting our family to protect yours. In an emergency, we will be by your side—because safe, drinkable water shouldn’t be an afterthought; it should always be within reach.
