AquaRev Water and Its Mission to Advance Hydrodynamic Cavitation Technology for Long-Term Water Performance and Efficiency
AquaRev Water reflects an ongoing effort to explore hydrodynamic cavitation as a method for conditioning water in residential and commercial environments. The initiative grew from an interest in how naturally occurring pressure changes in moving water might be guided in controlled settings. Its broader aim has been to support water quality practices that feel familiar to property owners, facility operators, and service professionals while encouraging approaches inspired by natural processes.
Keith Morrill, an electrical engineer, founded AquaRev in 2018 after years spent working across commercial and industrial operations. Those experiences shaped how he approached the early stages of the product’s development. “As we kept refining the idea, the work moved from early prototypes into hydrodynamic cavitation chambers that became part of the existing plumbing and recirculation setups people already use,” Morrill explains. “The device simply gets cut into the return line of the pool’s circulatory plumbing and works alongside existing chlorine or salt systems. Given that the device has no moving parts and requires zero electricity or maintenance, it doesn’t require anyone to rethink their entire approach to water care or worry about it for another 40 years.”
“When water squeezes through a tighter part of the chamber, or in other words, the venturi effect, the static pressure drops quickly. That shift creates nano bubbles that form and implode in an instant,” Morrill explains.
Building on these foundational principles, Morrill sought to understand how the chamber performed under controlled laboratory conditions. Third-party testing through NSF-50-certified laboratory environments verified measurable outcomes, including a 41% reduction in chlorine use, 36% lower combined chlorine compared to control pools, and approximately 20-70% lower water evaporation over 30 days versus control environments. By allowing for a lower amount of chlorine usage, therefore chloramine production, the amount of toxic gas released into the air is reduced tremendously. With this validation in place, the company began focusing on how to make the technology more accessible to the professionals who manage water systems every day.
With performance data in hand, AquaRev turned its attention to expanding access to the technology, which grew through wholesale distribution networks that supply pool-service professionals. These networks help ensure that service providers who already support residential and commercial properties can obtain the equipment when needed. AquaRev notes that this broader access supports conversations with service professionals who often guide homeowners and facility managers in selecting equipment that aligns with their maintenance preferences.
In parallel with distribution efforts, AquaRev continued conducting field demonstrations to observe real-world results, making it simpler to walk pool professionals through what the equipment is designed to do and how it can support their work.
These technical observations complement the experiences shared by customers who interact with the technology in everyday settings. One customer said, “After about 40 people spent the night jumping in and out of my 40,000-gallon backyard pool, it was understandably a bit cloudy. But by the next day, after letting the pump run, it was crystal clear again. No one’s hair or skin was damaged or smelled like chlorine or its chemical byproducts. I tested the water, and everything was balanced.”
Beyond immediate water-quality outcomes, AquaRev has also explored broader environmental considerations, an area that continues to shape AquaRev’s long-term research priorities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that pools can lose significant amounts of water annually through evaporation, depending on climate and surface area. “HDC has proven that the AquaRev products still demonstrate a defense against the concerns of pool chemicals that the World Health Organization raises, regardless of climate, pool design, or circulation patterns,” Morrill shares.
As AquaRev continues to grow globally, its focus remains on expanding access through distribution networks, supporting service professionals, and contributing to ongoing discussions about water conservation and responsible water care practices. Morrill emphasizes the importance of aligning operational efficiency with environmental awareness, noting that many property owners and facility operators are increasingly interested in approaches that support both performance and sustainability. AquaRev’s work reflects an ongoing exploration of how hydrodynamic cavitation can play a role in that conversation, and its continued testing, field demonstrations, and user feedback help inform the direction of future development.
