treatment systems market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Aquasana,
Inc. with the 2014 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for
Product Line Strategy Leadership. Aquasana's product line features
the broadest spectrum of residential water treatment products. High
quality filtration is available no matter how you want to use it:

top of the counter, or are hooked up to the faucets. Finally,
Aquasana recently released Powered Water Filtration System
(PWFS).

The Powered Water Filtration system provides pure, fast, and
great-tasting drinking water through a high-powered selective
technology that filters 10 times more contaminants than the leading
pitcher filter. The selective Claryum® filtration in the system
retains naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, potassium,
and magnesium, while removing heavy metals such as lead and
mercury.
"While traditional pitchers use gravity to slowly trickle water
over filter granules, Aquasana's Claryum® technology uses power to
filter water much faster," said Frost & Sullivan Research
Analyst Vandhana Ravi. "Thus, this
technology combines the functionalities of two key water-filtration
systems—under-the-counter and pitcher filters—to offer high-purity
filtered water without the hassle of installation."
Furthermore, Aquasana has invested in unique research projects
with the University of Texas, Austin,
specifically to address the need to remove chloramines from tap
water. It has also collaborated with the National Sanitation
Foundation (NSF) to achieve a certification for the removal of
pharmaceuticals, and by the end of August
2014, Aquasana's drinking-water products were among the
first in the market to obtain this certification.
The company offers a full line of customizable point-of-entry
products (whole-house water filtration) and softeners that depend
on the contaminants present in the water of a particular area. It
offers a water-testing report before selecting the customized
solution, which could be a combination of different media in the
filtration tank or installing additional tanks for better
performance.
"Aquasana's products are designed in such a way that they can be
easily replaced with various solutions available in the
marketplace," noted Vandhana Ravi.
"It has worked with manufacturers of carbon blocks and other
filtration media to bring about new media features, improvements,
and product developments."
The company wants to offer industry-best performance, value, and
convenience. From a performance standpoint, it has already been
certified as a leader in the removal of contaminants in the water
treatment market. In terms of value, its customers spend less than
10 cents to filter a gallon of water.
Finally, with regard to convenience, it continually monitors the
usability of its products through customer feedback and is
constantly striving to create the most user-friendly and
lifestyle-oriented product in the industry.
Significantly, its drinking-water systems are engineered to
minimize waste with the help of reusable outer filter canisters
made with Bisphenol-A-free plastic. Its salt-free softeners leave
no impact on the environment, unlike traditional salt-based
softeners.
Overall, Aquasana has exhibited a strong product line strategy
in enhancing customer value and driving product and technology
innovation.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has developed a comprehensive product line that caters
to the breadth of the market it serves. The award recognizes the
extent to which the product line meets customer base demands, the
overall impact it has in terms of customer value, as well as
increased market share.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies
in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating
outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as
leadership, technological innovation, customer service and
strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market
participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews,
analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best
practices in the industry.
