The Inspiration Behind the Name: Weddell Water
When we set out to create a brand that stood for purity, innovation, and excellence in water filtration, we knew the name had to embody these values. We wanted a name that resonated with both our mission and the essence of the natural world. That’s how Weddell Water came to be. This blog post will take you on a journey behind the scenes, exploring the inspiration and meaning behind the name Weddell Water, and how it reflects our commitment to delivering clean, safe, and refreshing water to your home.
The Weddell Sea: A Beacon of Purity and Resilience
The Weddell Sea, located in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, is one of the most pristine and remote bodies of water on Earth. Named after British explorer James Weddell, who first navigated its icy waters in 1823, the Weddell Sea is a symbol of untouched beauty and natural purity. This vast, frozen sea remains one of the most isolated and least disturbed ecosystems on the planet, embodying the kind of purity we aim to bring into every home with our water filtration products.
The Weddell Sea is not just a source of inspiration; it also represents resilience. Despite the harsh conditions of the Antarctic, the Weddell Sea thrives as a critical habitat for a variety of marine life, including seals, whales, and penguins. Its crystal-clear waters are a testament to the power of nature to sustain life even in the most challenging environments. We at Weddell Water believe that your home should be a sanctuary, where you can enjoy the purest water possible, just as nature intended.
💡 Did you know?
The Weddell seal is one of the best deep divers among seals, capable of diving over 2,000 feet (600 meters) and holding its breath for up to 80 minutes! This incredible ability helps them hunt for fish and squid beneath the thick Antarctic ice, demonstrating remarkable endurance and adaptability in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
Designing Weddell Duo: A Commitment to Excellence
With the Weddell Sea as our guiding star, we set out to design a shower filter that would stand apart from anything else on the market. The Weddell Duo, our flagship product, embodies the same principles of purity and resilience that define the Weddell Sea. Designed in California by a team of experienced PhD engineers, researchers, and self-care enthusiasts, the Weddell Duo is a product of meticulous research and innovation.
We wanted the Weddell Duo to be more than just a shower filter; we wanted it to redefine your daily self-care routine. Our engineers focused on creating a filter that not only removes harmful contaminants like PFAS but also enhances the quality of your water, leaving your skin and hair feeling soft, hydrated, and rejuvenated. The Weddell Duo is clinically tested to improve skin hydration and scalp health, making it a must-have for anyone who values self-care and wellness.
Why the Weddell Duo Stands Out
What makes the Weddell Duo truly exceptional is its commitment to performance and quality. Unlike other shower filters that make unverified claims, the Weddell Duo is NSF certified, meaning it has been rigorously tested and proven to deliver on its promises. It is the only shower filter on the market that is NSF certified for reducing Free Available Chlorine while maintaining a verified reduction in PFAS and microplastics.
The Weddell Duo’s filters are designed to last, with a life cycle of 8,000 gallons, providing cost-effective and powerful filtration. The filters are conveniently installed on the sides of the unit, allowing you to easily observe their condition and monitor the filtration process. When it’s time to replace them, simply twist to remove and replace—no tools required. This user-friendly design ensures that maintaining the purity of your water is as easy as possible.
The Importance of Clean Water in Your Home
At Weddell Water, we understand that clean water is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Water is essential for every aspect of life, from drinking and cooking to bathing and cleaning. However, with increasing concerns about water quality, especially the presence of harmful chemicals like PFAS, it has never been more important to ensure that the water in your home is safe and clean.
PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, have been linked to a range of health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and hormone disruption. These chemicals are incredibly persistent in the environment and can be found in water supplies around the world. The Weddell Duo is designed to remove 99% of PFAS, giving you peace of mind every time you step into the shower. By choosing Weddell Duo, you are taking a proactive step to protect your health and the health of your family.
