Ideal Living has introduced the AquaTru Pro — a premium bottle-filling station designed for fitness facilities and commercial spaces. This innovation was showcased at The HFA Show 2026 in San Diego from March 16 to 18.
The AquaTru Pro system uses a four-stage Ultra Reverse Osmosis filtration process that undergoes third-party testing and meets NSF standards. Ideal Living maintains that its innovation removes 99.9% of 84 contaminants. This includes lead, forever chemicals such as PFOS and PFOA, fluoride, chlorine, and microplastics.
Ideal Living offers three configurations of the AquaTru Pro — a Freestanding Model 1 for boutique studios and smaller facilities, a Freestanding Model 3 for higher-traffic gyms serving up to one hundred people, and a Refrigerated On-Wall Bottle Filler with a bi-level bubbler system for locations that require traditional drinking fountains.
