What Ecofiltro does

Ecofiltro is a Guatemalan for-profit social enterprise founded in 2009 that designs, manufactures, and sells ceramic water filtration systems for households, with a stated mission of providing clean water to 1 million families in rural Guatemala. The company operates from Ciudad Vieja / Guatemala City, Guatemala, and is led by founder Philip Wilson. Its primary customers are Guatemalan families seeking affordable safe drinking water, supplemented by an institutional channel through the "Ecofiltro en mi aula" school program.

The core product is a ceramic filter element housed in stainless steel that removes microbiological contaminants from drinking water without electricity or chemicals. The portfolio spans six SKUs organized into large household models (Purificador de Agua Estándar at Q220, Ecofiltro Blanco e at Q399, Ecofiltro Colors at Q495, and Ecofiltro Mazari at Q517.50–Q690) and mini models (Mini Ecofiltro Colors at Q299 and a Mini Ecofiltro de Acero Inoxidable). The company publishes microbiological effectiveness results and an effectiveness data sheet on its website.

Ecofiltro operates as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business through ecofiltro.com.gt, selling units via one-time hardware purchase and generating an aftermarket revenue stream from replacement filters and accessories under "Renovación" and "Accesorios" categories. The company holds B Corp and ISO 9001 certifications, and maintains a partnership with Fundación Génesis Empresarial. Geographic footprint is primarily Guatemala, with a website section referencing "Ecofiltro en el mundo," indicating some international presence or ambition.
