What Aqualan Ecofilter does

Aqualan Ecofilter is a privately held Spanish water treatment equipment supplier founded in 2014 and headquartered in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz. The company sells reverse osmosis systems, water softeners, and disinfection equipment — including chlorine dioxide and ozone-based systems — to three customer segments: residential homeowners, industrial and professional buyers, and dental clinics. Its core product portfolio spans residential RO units (Miawa, Sintra, Sindu, Nertus, Fiord), an industrial osmosis line, residential and industrial softeners (Nasser, Ura, Tigris, Denver, and Industrial), and disinfection systems (Athena AT-BX, Athena AT-MT, Sentinel, Ozono OP-10/OP-20).

The company's strategic differentiator is the Osmo Steril product family, a centralized dental water treatment platform that combines reverse osmosis with stabilized chlorine dioxide (BIOXTERIL) to provide continuous disinfection and biofilm dissolution in dental chair water circuits. The line is offered in Mono (single chair), Trio (up to 3 chairs plus 2 autoclaves), and Pluri (up to 10 chairs plus 3 autoclaves) configurations, and is backed by an Ecoplus certification obtained in Italy. Osmo Steril hardware incorporates Filmtec membranes (USA) and German electronic control units, and the BIOXTERIL consumable introduces a recurring chemical revenue stream tied to the installed base. The company also supplies a DROP D unit for demineralized water production for dental autoclaves.

Aqualan Ecofilter operates a direct sales model, primarily through its website and a single listed phone number, with no third-party resellers, no app, no public API, and no digital platform. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, professional installation services, and water analysis certification in collaboration with partner laboratories under Spanish Royal Decree RD 140/2003. The company is bootstrapped — no parent, no institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds — and serves a predominantly domestic Spanish market with limited public evidence of international customer activity.

Core offering

Aqualan Ecofilter designs, manufactures, and supplies water treatment equipment — reverse osmosis units, ion-exchange softeners, and chlorine dioxide/ozone disinfection systems — for residential, industrial, and dental clinic customers. It markets a dedicated Osmo Steril franchise for dental-clinic water purification and supplies DROP D for demineralized autoclave feed water. The company complements hardware sales with installation, water analysis, and potability certification services.

Product overview

Aqualan Ecofilter is a water treatment equipment company offering a portfolio of standalone products across three main categories: (1) reverse osmosis systems (Miawa, Sintra, Sindu, Nertus, Fiord, and Industrial models) for residential and industrial water purification; (2) water softening systems (Nasser, Ura, Tigris, Denver, and Industrial softeners) for lime prevention and removal; and (3) disinfection systems combining chlorine dioxide (Osmo Steril Mono/Trio/Pluri for dental clinics) and ozone technology (ATHENA, SENTINEL, OZONO OP series) for sterilization and water potabilization. The company also provides a dedicated demineralized water production unit (DROP D) for dental autoclaves. The products are sold as independent units rather than a unified platform, targeting both domestic/residential and professional/industrial sectors.
