Our Story
Reuben Vollmer was at work in Los Angeles when he got a call from his parents. They received a notice from the State of California that they could lose their water rights during the drought. They’d recently relocated to a small ranch in the mountains to enjoy retirement. Their dreams of rural golden years harvesting olives from a modest orchard could vanish in an instant.
Walking his dog the next morning, Reuben considered the dew covering a wide lawn. Why couldn’t moisture in the air be the water supply for a ranch?
For the next decade, Reuben put his engineering talents to work inventing and innovating atmospheric water harvesting processes for a variety of uses.
He’d already been working on the idea for years when Reuben met entrepreneur Tyler Breton. They hit it off immediately, hatching a shared vision for how a company built around atmospheric water could work.
Together, they formed Spout to focus their innovation efforts on creating a device for the home that could provide superlative drinking water that never passes through a pipe.
Early on, both founders took time to visit Flint, Michigan, speaking directly with families affected by the contaminated water crisis. The heartbreaking stories they heard only strengthened their resolve to make Spout succeed.
After five more years of experimentation, prototypes, trial and error and fine tuning, the Spout Atmospheric Water Harvester is ready for the home.
But this is only our first chapter.
We won’t stop innovating and creating new products until water travesties like the one in Flint are a thing of the past.
