Brand Story 品牌故事

Intuition has always come from love, and love allows us to become wiser; a philosophy upon which the Aquasana brand was built. In 1997, founder Charles Strand discovered that his infant son’s respiratory ailments could be traced to chlorine in the household water. To help ease his son’s condition and in the pursuit of better scientific understanding, Strand started research into chlorine and eventually found the most effective filtration method – a humble charcoal filter mechanism. Strand then began his mission of sharing the fruit of his research with other families who experience the same sensitivity to water-borne contaminants as his son did, and furthering his research into water filtration.  

靈感，往往源自於愛，而愛讓我們充滿智慧，Aquasana品牌的誕生亦是如此。1997年的一天，Strand教授發現兒子因為自來水中的「氯」而咳嗽不止，為幫助兒子緩解痛苦，也源於對科學的探索精神，Strand教授開始了對「氯」的研究，並最終找到了制服它的法寶——木炭過濾沐浴器。Strand教授開心之余，想到千千萬萬和兒子一樣受「氯」和其它自來水污染物困擾的人們，萌生了研發自制濾水器的想法。
