About Aquaria: who we are, what we’re building, and why customers trust us

Aquaria builds clean water on demand by pulling humidity from the air—starting with homes today and scaling toward communities and cities over time.

Founded in 2021 by brothers Brian and Eric Sheng, Aquaria is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and will further expand into Florida, California, and Hawaii. Because atmospheric water technology has historically been used in military and disaster-relief settings—where systems are often large, heavy, and expensive, Aquaria’s focus has been to make AWG practical for everyday households. That’s why Aquaria developed proprietary Ambient Heat Exchange technology, aiming to bring atmospheric water into normal life the way computers evolved from room-sized machines into devices you can use at home.

Aquaria’s mission is to unlock a new way to access clean water on demand for whole cities and communities. We envision a future where communities can rely on sustainable, regenerative water made from the sky—produced locally, available when needed, and not limited by how quickly traditional water infrastructure can expand.

Aquaria was founded by brothers Brian and Eric Sheng in a family where water was never a casual topic. Their father was a water scientist, and long before Aquaria was incorporated, Brian spent years studying water technologies—including atmospheric water generation. Aquaria started with a simple belief: making water from air shouldn’t be something reserved for niche or extreme situations.

The goal has always been to make AWGs practical for everyday life—drinking, cooking, and daily household use—by turning a specialized technology into something that feels like a modern home appliance: installable, supportable, and easy to trust.

For most of AWG history, these systems were built for tough situations like disaster response or military use—where the priority is “get water anywhere,” even if the equipment is large, heavy, and expensive. Aquaria’s product thesis is different: we bring AWG into everyday life by driving down size, complexity, and operating friction—similar to how many breakthrough technologies evolve:

Driving this shift is Aquaria’s proprietary Ambient Heat Exchange technology. In simple terms, “heat exchange” is how a system moves heat around—similar to how your refrigerator moves heat out of the appliance so it can stay cold inside.

In an AWG, managing heat very well matters because turning humid air into water depends on controlled cooling. Aquaria’s Ambient Heat Exchange is designed to improve how the system handles heat while it’s making water, which supports energy-efficient, real-world water production in a compact form factor that’s meant to fit into home life.

Aquaria was founded in 2021 to build systems designed for real, everyday households—not just for lab conditions or urgent use cases. Since then, the team has focused on building products that serve homeowners first, creating repeatable, reliable installation and service processes, and proving the model in our primary market of Texas before expanding nationwide.

Aquaria builds a portfolio of atmospheric water systems designed to scale from a single home to larger deployments:

Aquaria systems are typically designed around a tank-first setup, which simply means the Hydropack system makes water and stockpiles it in an external storage tank, and thensupplies water as needed whene you want it (rather than only producing water at the exact moment you need it). This makes home integration more flexible and helps you control how and when you make and use Aquaria water. This setup also allows additional water sources like wells to tie in, creating a resilient, independent residential water system.

Aquaria’s goal isn’t just to produce water, it’s to deliver a trusted, reliable product ownership experience.

We work with recognized third-party testing providers (such as SimpleLab) as part of our water quality commitment. Our water quality testing reports are available on our website.

Aquaria systems use multiple stages of filtration—starting with air filtration and followed by sub-micron water filtration—plus recurring UV disinfection cycles designed to keep stored water clean over time.

Aquaria supports customers through a structured warranty and service model, including:

Aquaria is headquartered in Austin, Texas, where the team is building its residential foundation and service footprint. Aquaria will expand its operations further into Florida, California, and Hawaii. While we have individual units installed worldwide, our primary focus is growth in the US.
