Kor Water
KOR Water is a California-based hydration company providing products to filter, store, and enhance your water. Designed by RKS Designs, KOR Water’s goal is to inspire people to drink water in more sustainable ways by making their reusable water bottles both beautiful and functional.** Introduced in 2008 by Eric Barnes and Paul Shustak, KOR Water products are now distributed in over 100 countries with partnerships around the world. **

History
KOR Water’s story begins in 2005 after Eric Barnes and Paul Shustak saw a need in the market for a more functional, well-designed reusable water bottle than what was available. Barnes felt that many companies used guilt in hopes of getting people to avoid single-use water bottles and realized that guilt isn’t the best motivator. To help people make the switch away from single-use water bottles, Barnes decided to create a product that he felt people would be excited to use and help the shift happen naturally.

In 2008, KOR Water came out with their first product**, the KOR ONE Hydration Vessel water bottle. Truly a company of its era, KOR Water used Kickstarter to fund both the KOR Nava water bottle and its newest KOR Water Fall countertop filtration system.** Since then, KOR Water has expanded its product line to incorporate filtration systems, water enhancement products, and a philanthropy effort called Thirst for Giving.
