Délice d'eau

What Délice d'eau does

Délice d'eau is a privately held French SARL (SIREN 899588792, share capital €5,000) founded in 2008 in Brantôme en Périgord, Dordogne, operating in the residential and light-commercial water filtration, purification, and vitalization sector. The company designs, sells, and installs a broad portfolio of treatment devices — including direct-flow reverse osmosis systems (Déli-direct), manual-crank emergency osmoseurs (Déli-Survie), autonomous hot/cold water fountains (Déli-pure, Déli-pure H), Marcel Violet water dynamizers using copper/silver/carbon anodes, OLBIO-CUT positively-charged shower filters, and multi-stage whole-house filtration groups — together with recurring consumables such as KDF media, coconut carbon blocks, sediment cartridges, RO and ultrafiltration membranes, and replacement anodes. Underlying technology combines KDF 55/85 copper-zinc redox media (NSF/ANSI 42 and 61 certified), coconut-shell activated carbon, ultrafiltration (0.1 µm) and reverse osmosis (down to 0.0001 µm) membranes, UVC-LED disinfection, and Marcel Violet bio-electronic vitalization, with annual quality verification by a Swiss laboratory under the B.E.V. (Bio-Électronique Vincent) label.

Commercial activity is split between (i) direct e-commerce sales of standardized products priced €5 to €3,480 via the company's online boutique, (ii) custom-quoted sales of complex systems such as the 4-door Big Blue filtration unit and enterprise fountain units, (iii) recurring sales of proprietary replacement cartridges on a typical 6–12 month cycle, and (iv) on-site professional installation services for residential and commercial customers. Distribution combines the own-brand e-commerce site, field installation, a reseller/installateur partner program, and a commercial agent program, with stated coverage of mainland France from the Dordogne base. The customer base is horizontally segmented into 'Particuliers' (households concerned with chlorine, limescale, heavy metals, PFAS, and pharmaceutical residues in tap water) and 'Professionnels' (businesses installing fountains or primary filtration for staff welfare, equipment protection, and ESG positioning), with disclosed enterprise references spanning automotive (Audi Volkswagen, JMD Automobile), agriculture (Crozefond), healthcare (Centre RNPC), construction (Extrabat), energy services (Feeling's Energy), organic retail and services (Réponses Bio Shop, Solutions Bio), pools/spas (SMB Piscine et Spas), retail electronics (Deluc), and the social/medical integration facility ESAT OSEA.

The company has been led since 2021 by Guillaume Caravaca, who holds diplomas in magnetism/energetics and plumbing and acquired the founder Jean-Luc Leroux's business; the formal legal entity was registered on 21 May 2021. No external equity, debt, or institutional capital has been disclosed — the entity is owner-operated. Reported scale indicators include 2,000+ users, 800+ installed filtration units, and 18 years of continuous operation, alongside a regional Trophée PME RMC BFM award in the 'Durable, Solidaire et Éco-responsable' category. Revenue, ARR, headcount, and burn rate are not disclosed in the source material.
