Technology Partners
WAI partners with leading technology companies and engineering firms that provide innovative solutions for wastewater management.
We’re actively pursuing pilot programs within Hawaiʻi communities to offer alternative solutions to the cesspool issue to benefit homeowners and the environment.
Our Partners
FUJI CLEAN
Fuji Clean’s innovative technology, the CEN series, is designed to treat up to 1,000 gallons per day of domestic strength wastewater to NSF/ANSI 245 standards. The ability to remove nitrogen is crucial in environmental protection and its one-tank configuration maximized landscaping flexibility and options for designers and homeowners. The system is highly portable and maneuverable with a weight of fewer than 1000 pounds.
INFILTRATOR WATER TECHNOLOGIES
Infiltrator Water Tech, a leader in wastewater management for 30+ years, prioritizes innovation and sustainability. Offering diverse solutions, from chambers to advanced treatment systems via strategic expansions like Delta Treatment Systems, LLC and Presby Environmental, Inc. With 95% recycled plastics, Infiltrator ensures sustainability and affordability. Core values include integrity, continuous improvement, and teamwork. Maintaining leadership through competition and quality assurance, it fosters a safe, supportive workplace. Championing innovation and environmental responsibility, Infiltrator tackles global water management challenges.
LEAPFROG
Hawaiʻi needs decentralized water and sanitation technology that can scale quickly. By reusing greywater, The EstuaryTM provides a reduction in cesspool loading and a sustainable source of water for irrigation. Leapfrog’s EstuaryTM and CascadeTM are plant-powered ecological water treatment systems that combine the water cleaning power of wetlands and other natural systems into a compact, modular greywater reuse system. Water from washing machines, sinks, and showers is rerouted into the system where plants and microorganisms absorb and break down contaminants in order to clean the greywater for reuse.
LIXIL GROUP
LIXIL pioneers wastewater solutions to redefine homes globally. Since its inception in 2011, LIXIL has leveraged its Japanese heritage to develop cutting-edge technologies and create transformative products for homes. With approximately 55,000 employees across 150 countries, LIXIL has expanded its reach internationally, acquiring renowned industry names like GROHE and American Standard. However, what sets LIXIL apart is not just its breadth or reach but its approach. By melding meaningful design, an entrepreneurial ethos, a commitment to inclusivity, and sustainable business practices.
ORENCO SYSTEMS
Orenco’s PreLOS Wastewater Collection System offers a more innovative, safe and affordable sanitation solution than traditional sewers. The small, flexible sewer lines allow for easier, less disruptive installation. PreLos can be implemented in communities across the Hawaiian Islands at a cost-efficient, durable wastewater alternative to cesspools and septic tanks.
RIDGE TO REEFS
Ridge-to-Reefʻs nature-based Bioreactor Gardens treat septic wastewater using the natural processes of plants, soil, and woodchips to enhance microbial activity. The passive treatment system requires little space, removes nitrogen, uses locally sourced materials and has a low effort and cost for maintenance. Once the Bioreactor Garden completes NSF-245 testing on a wastewater treatment plant on Oʻahu, these systems can be installed throughout the state of Hawaiʻi.
