About Us

A brief history

Before Water-to-Go, Dave Shanks and co-founder Cheryl Farrell, headed a textiles company that manufactured and distributed clothing brands across the World. Dave made frequent trips to India, Indonesia and China and was aghast to see ever growing mountains of plastic waste whenever he visited an industrial area. A large contributor to the problem was discarded single-use water bottles.

The company has continued to grow year on year and in a very short time, has not only added distributors and retailers across the World, but also fostered partnerships with a large number of campaigning charities, some of the more recent ones ranging from Malaria No More UK to the African Wildlife Foundation.

Work began on advancing a technology that was originally developed for NASA. From this, the Water-to-Go ‘3-in-1 nanotechnology Filters’ were born! Combining three different technologies, the results were perfect for all outdoor pursuits and travel as... all microbiological contaminants are filtered with up to 99.9999% efficiency (see testing).

Realising that here was a technology that could provide clean healthy water almost anywhere and which could also reduce the environmental damage being done was the motivation to establish the Water-to-Go brand and business. The challenge was, and still is, to create an organization that could positively communicate the benefits to the global marketplace with limited resources.

After investing a large amount of his own money, Dave brought on board a number of individual investors to help develop and grow the business. Many of them offered specialist business skills and experience as well as investment. In 2014, a further tranche of investment was raised by crowdfunding through Crowdcube bringing more financial and a wider skill base into the business.

At the end of 2014, the company launched a new product line the 50cl GO! Bottle aimed at everyday use such as commuters, gym users, sports people and anyone concerned about their health. The aim is to convince consumers to use this product instead of buying expensive bottled water, and thereby reduce the damage to the environment created by single-use plastic bottles. Further new products are planned for the future.

Our Mission is to Protect

  • Protect our customers’ health and well-being by offering safe, healthy water anywhere in the world.
  • Protect our planet by offering an environmentally friendly reusable alternative to single-use plastic water bottles.
  • Protect our customers’ finances by delivering clean water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water
Use Water-to-Go products and you’ll be healthier, wealthier and helping to make the world a better place!

Our Vision

Every person in the world needs clean contamination-free water to survive. At Water-to-Go we want to give the World safe clean water that they can afford. We also want to help put an end to the damage to the planet created by plastic waste. Our technology is simple and easy to use and with the correct distribution, we can help counter the impact on some of the World’s most horrific water-borne diseases. Whilst fulfilling this aim, we can help minimize the damage done to the environment from single-use plastic bottles. We work together with organisations that share our aims and goals and together we can change the world, one bottle, one person at a time. Do you share our goals? Contact us on info@watertogo.nl
