Lippert Components, Inc. inked an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Acuva Technologies Inc., a supplier of water purification solutions for commercial and consumer applications.
Together, Lippert and Acuva will create a co-branded range of water purification products designed specifically for the RV and marine markets that will be sold exclusively across channels by Lippert in North America.
The systems will also be installed into new RVs at the time of manufacture, giving customers built-in water purification technology.
“Lippert is excited to partner with Acuva to bring their advanced water purification technology to the RV and Marine Industries,” said Andrew Mock, Lippert senior vice president of Furrion North America. “The addition of the new co-branded Acuva-Lippert UV-LED water purification products to our suite of offerings is Lippert answering the call of our customers who are increasingly seeking more sustainable solutions as they pursue the outdoor lifestyle. We look forward to working with Acuva to expand the availability of these products, giving our customers clean drinking water wherever they go, both on and off the grid.”
Acuva’s UV-LED water purification products are a perfect solution for adventurers who enjoy the off-grid lifestyle in their RVs, camper vans, trailers and boats, Acuva said.
Acuva’s proprietary IntenseBeam UV-LED technology eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses found in water, Acuva said.
“At Acuva, we believe everyone should have access to safe drinking water, which is why we are excited to partner with Lippert to bring our range of water purification products to the fast-growing RV and marine markets in North America,” said Manoj Singh, CEO and president of Acuva Technologies. “While having access to clean drinking water is a priority for our customers, we know concerns around protecting our environment have never been more top-of-mind. Our products offer a safe and sustainable drinking water solution, removing the need to carry single-use plastic water bottles. Every Acuva-Lippert product has the potential to remove hundreds of thousands of plastic water bottles from our landfills over its lifetime.”
UV-LED disinfection systems have been addressing the barriers to safe drinking water for more than seven years.
The Acuva-Lippert products for the RV and marine markets will be available for purchase in Q3 2022 and new RVs are expected to hit the market then as well, Acuva said.
