The Origin Story

2019

It started with a parasite

At the origin of Clear, there’s a personal story. Ron Blutrich (our CEO) contracted a deadly parasite, Entamoeba histolytica, from a cup of filtered tap water. What he learned later is that un-maintained filters can be an ideal place for microbial growth!

2019-2020

Chronic consequences

Ron experienced debilitating chronic symptoms, severely restricting his diet and causing over 100 pounds of weight loss in 8 months. The recovery process took three years. It was shocking how one cup of bad water could turn his life upside down.

Research began

During this time, Ron took a health leave from his PhD. As any scientist would, Ron started to do the research. How is it possible that water could be this dangerous? What are the major waterborne risks? How are we managing these risks? Ron compiled his research into a white paper.

Curious? Here's a link to some of the research.

2020-2021

Atlantium discovered

Ron and Gil discovered that UV-based water purification has been trusted by industry and municipalities for targeting and purifying the biological risks in our water. Compared to other UV systems, we found that Atlantium’s UV technology was the perfect system to translate into the real estate market.

A Clear Start

With the idea to translate this trusted purification technology directly to where people live, Ron and Gil started Clear. Since then, Clear has been installing and servicing the best water purification technology in condos, hotels, and homes. Today, Clear is providing purified water to more than 2,500 families world wide.

Frequently asked questions

Why Clear?

Clear is your water quality partner for new and existing residential buildings, hotels, affordable housing projects, and single-family homes. We install, monitor, and service industry-leading UV reactors at the point of entry to purify water for entire buildings. That means every tap, pipe, shower, fountain, and swimming pool will have bottled-quality water without chemicals or harmful bacteria. With Clear being the only solution for large-scale UV water purification, you can expect better results at a lower cost compared to any other water purification method.

What’s the difference between Clear UV and other water purification methods (e.g. reverse osmosis, carbon filters, chlorine injection)?

Unlike other water purification methods, Clear UV offers protection from all waterborne illnesses, can scale to large properties, doesn’t use harmful chemicals, doesn’t waste water, uses little energy, and improves hair and skin.

How much does Clear UV by Atlantium cost?

As we provide custom design, installation, and servicing, our costs vary depending on the specific project. What we can say is that Clear UV is the most economical and effective purification solution for medium- and large-scale developments. In addition, it’s possible to pay for Clear UV in operating costs rather than capital expenditures. Reach out with the detailed information about your project for an estimate.

How long has Clear been around?

Atlantium, the UV water purification system powering Clear, was founded over 20 years ago and has more than 4,500 installations worldwide at large industrial companies and municipalities. Clear translated this technology to the residential market in 2020 and has been growing ever since.

What makes Clear UV at Home so effective?

Clear UV at Home is a completely new technology and the future of UV water purification. Available only for small-scale projects, Clear UV at Home provides up to 10,000 times better water purification while using 7 times less energy and lasting over 30 times longer than conventional UV. 

How much does Clear UV at Home cost?

Unlike Clear UV by Atlantium, Clear UV at Home charges all costs up-front. The exact costs vary depending on installation requirements but are comparable with other water purification methods while having no ongoing servicing requirements over the long term.
