Water is life. We took that literally.
Sanavia started with five friends from Arlington, Virginia and a study we couldn't ignore. Research published in JAMA highlighted how contaminants, including runoff from sources like golf-course pesticides, can make their way into the drinking water that families across Northern Virginia pour every day.
The part that stuck with us: this water is completely legal. It meets federal standards. But “legal” and “healthy” aren't the same thing. Many EPA limits were set decades ago and sit far above the levels independent health scientists now recommend. Most people in the DMV have no idea what's actually coming out of their tap.
So we built Sanavia to close that gap: first by making it dead-simple to see what's in your own water, and then by offering the most effective way to remove it, point-of-use reverse osmosis, installed and supported right here in the DMV.
Local, not national
We live here. We test water here. Every recommendation is built around what's actually in DMV tap water, not a generic national pitch.
Transparency first
We show you the real contaminant data for your zip code before we ever mention a product. If your water is clean, we'll tell you.
Proven technology
Reverse osmosis is the same technology hospitals and labs rely on. We pair NSF-certified components with honest, no-pressure guidance.
See what's in your water
Enter your zip code to see the contaminants detected in your area, then decide for yourself.
