Alaska Pure Water Products has established itself as Alaska's leading provider of a diverse range of water products and services since its inception in 1985. Originally starting as a retail water store, the company offered a unique proposition allowing customers to fill their own containers with purified or distilled water. Over the years, the business evolved, expanding its product line to encompass bottled water and comprehensive residential and commercial water treatment solutions. It has a notable focus on addressing the specific challenges posed by Alaska’s water sources, which are often troubled by high turbidity levels and contaminants like Giardia.
Under the ownership of Steven Sommerfeld, who took over in 1993, Alaska Pure Water Products shifted its focus to becoming a retail-centric operation alongside bottled water delivery. By strategically acquiring a wholesale business for water treatment products, the company was able to broaden its market reach significantly. This proactive approach paid off, as evidenced by its rapid growth—the company transitioned from a leased 4,000 square-foot facility to purchasing an expansive 8,500 square-foot building to accommodate its operations.
Today, the company employs a dedicated team of 10 staff members, including four certified water specialists, ensuring high-quality service and expertise. Its showroom offers a one-stop shopping experience for water systems, featuring a variety of filtration and purification products along with a "Water-Bar" where customers can fill containers at competitive prices. Committed to providing the best solutions for water treatment in the state, Alaska Pure Water Products is also part of the Kinetico dealership network, underlining its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The company has carved out a niche by being a friendly, approachable provider of essential water solutions, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable partner for both residential and commercial customers in Alaska.
