What Wisewell does

Wisewell (legal entity Wisewellwater Inc., incorporated in Delaware) is a sustainability-driven consumer water technology company that designs, markets, and distributes app-connected reverse osmosis purifiers to households. The company was founded in 2021 in Dubai by Sami Khoreibi (CEO) and Sebastien Wakim, and has since established US operations including customer support and order fulfillment serving the contiguous United States.

The product portfolio consists of two SKUs built on a shared 4-stage filtration architecture: a sediment pre-filter, a carbon block, a reverse osmosis membrane claimed to remove 99% of contaminants (heavy metals, microplastics, forever chemicals, fluoride), and a Maifan stone remineralization stage that restores calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The Wisewell Nano is a plug-in countertop unit (~0.5 gallon tank) and the Model 1 is a freestanding floor-standing unit (~2 gallon tank) with optional direct water-line connection and UV purification. Both products dispense cold, ambient, and hot water and connect to a mobile app that displays real-time TDS and filter-life data and triggers automatic filter replacement shipments. The hardware was developed in collaboration with Emmy Award-winning design studio Shape, and the products carry NSF Lead-Free, FDA-approved filter, and independent microbiology/chemical lab certifications.

Wisewell sells exclusively direct-to-consumer through wisewell.com on a hardware-as-a-service subscription model with no upfront cost: $39.99/month for the Nano and $69.99/month for the Model 1, with the first month free for pre-order customers, a buyout option after 2+ years of subscription, and early-cancellation fees that create some contractual lock-in. The company targets health-conscious homeowners and environmentally conscious consumers seeking to eliminate single-use plastic bottles, supported by a Splash impact partnership that ties every liter dispensed to a liter of clean water donated. The company has raised $2.6M in total funding (a $2M pre-Seed led by BECO Capital in April 2022) and operates with 1-10 employees, placing it firmly at the early commercialization stage.

Core offering

Wisewell designs, sells, and services app-connected home water purification devices (Wisewell Nano countertop and Wisewell Model 1 freestanding) built on a 4-stage reverse osmosis architecture that removes 99% of contaminants and remineralizes water. Products are delivered on a monthly subscription that bundles the hardware, automatic filter replacements, IoT water-quality monitoring, and customer support, with the option to purchase the unit outright after 24 months of subscription.

Product overview

Wisewell offers a unified portfolio of smart water purification devices — the Wisewell Nano (compact countertop) and Wisewell Model 1 (freestanding floor-standing) — both built on a 4-stage reverse osmosis + remineralization architecture. Both products share the same core filtration technology and are delivered via a subscription model that includes hardware rental, automatic filter replacements, and mobile app connectivity for real-time water quality and filter-life monitoring. The company positions itself as a direct-to-consumer sustainable consumer technology brand, providing hardware as a service rather than a one-time purchase, with the stated mission of delivering pure, mineralized water without single-use plastic bottles.
