AquiFlow is a proprietary aggregate that AquiPor has developed for use as an additive to concrete.  Unlike other concrete ingredients, AquiFlow has some unique properties that make it a revolutionary change in concrete production.  It allows concrete to act as a water filter - a porous material that can mitigate the effects of stormwater flooding and pollution, without a reduction in compressive strength. 

This is huge for the industry. Concrete is the second most used substance on earth behind water, and is estimated to produce 8% of the total carbon footprint in the world.  AquiFlow aggregate is a near net-zero additive, so replacing traditional ingredients with AquiFlow reduces that footprint, while simultaneously creating a porous, stronger than regular concrete and more climate resilient product. 

 

Not only is AquiFlow all these things, it replaces other less effective concrete aggregates that are more expensive, do less, and are becoming harder to find. AquiPor’s tech will eventually reduce costs, be more eco-friendly AND help stop stormwater flooding and pollution that is only increasing as the climate changes and extreme weather continues to increase in size and scope. 

 

This is why AquiPor Technologies is so rare in the world of material technologies.  It checks off two huge needs of a multi-billion dollar industry by being eco-friendly and easily accessible and adoptable to the industry as it is right now.  

Concrete hasn’t changed much since the times of the Romans, but we believe we have Concrete 2.0, and like all other inventions that shifted the paradigm, it just needs a spark to ignite the world over. 

 

We need your help to build the capacity to create, install, test and sell this truly remarkable technology. Which is why we have a crowdfunding campaign with our partners at StartEngine, allowing everyday investors like you to become a part of a revolutionary technology for one of the biggest industries in the world.

CHECK OUR CROWDFUND

On this Water Drop episode, Kevin and Greg talk about the recent weather whiplash phenomenon in California where the state received over 30 Trillion gallons of rain, and how proper planning and development can help cities utilize this stormwater to bolster freshwater resources.

LISTEN ON:

A wide-ranging conversation about nature-based thinking, carbon markets, the unintended consequences of heavy industrial growth, and the purpose of life (hint: it's about helping others).

LISTEN ON:

Greg and Bill meet up to chat about the depletion of freshwater aquifers throughout the world and how we can help solve the issue.

LISTEN ON:

While a lot of conversations about climate change revolve around CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, Greg and Bill discuss how climate change is really all about water.

LISTEN ON:

The city of Tuscon, Arizona only gets 12 inches of rain per year, but through innovation and a paradigm shift in how they deal with stormwater, they've become a model for how cities can become water sustainable.

LISTEN ON:

Greg speaks with Jennifer Mitchell, creator of Save the Beer!, a clever awareness campaign that brings attention to water conservation and freshwater security.

As we continue our Equity Crowd Fund at Start Engine, we've been asked a lot of great questions about the AquiPor technology and how it works. We thought we would give you a quick podcast that answers some of the most frequent questions we've received so far. Take a look, and please message us if you have any additional questions!

And once your questions have been answered, check out our equity crowd fund and see how you can be an early investor in what we believe will be industry changing technology!
