PureSafe water systems

What PureSafe water systems does

PureSafe Water Systems, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Plainview, United States, offers a water purification system positioned as an alternative to traditional bottled water. The company is a for-profit entity that has been publicly traded on OTC Pink under the ticker PSWS, but is currently in a delisted status, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees. Its website, puresafewatersystems.com, serves as the primary digital touchpoint. Leadership is led by Terry R. Lazar as CFO and Gerard R. Stoehr as COO.

The company's core product is a water purification system designed to address consumer and small-customer demand for clean drinking water without reliance on bottled alternatives. Specific product technology (filtration method, capacity, certifications, or system architecture) and pricing mechanics are not documented in the available input. The go-to-market motion, distribution channels, customer segments, and revenue model are likewise not specified, leaving the operational mechanics of the business as a data gap.

PureSafe Water Systems has historically funded its operations through small equity raises, completing four funding rounds in 2009-2010 totaling approximately $1.42M ($515,500 in August 2009, $150,000 in November 2009, $275,000 in November 2009, and $475,000 in May 2010). No further capital raises, product launches, partnerships, or leadership changes are recorded after this period. The combination of delisted status, lack of recent funding, and minimal headcount indicates the company is either operating at a very small scale or is effectively dormant, with the most reliable data points dating to 2010.
