The Art of making Terra Cotta Water Purifiers
Email
My mission at LifeSpices is to find interesting and unique products that “add a little spice in our life” while doing good in some way..hence “world products made with love“. The Stefani Water Purifier is one of these products I discovered over a year ago in Africa.
I was charmed by the style and knowing the beneficial properties of clay I thought it was a clever design with a little tap and so on. I was really intrigued when I learned that this clay water vessel, well known to ancient civilizations and still in use in most 3rd world nations for its cooling detoxification properties is equipped with a very advanced ceramic filter. And so the search began … to learn more about the purifying elements of ceramic filters and learning about the manufacturer and their business philosophy.
For product details, please see our site www.stefaniaqua.com. Ceramica Stefani was founded 60 years ago by the Stefani brothers who are all engineers by profession. The purifiers are hand made by skilled potters and the company is actively involved in various local community programs which include:
- Reforestation program
- Food program for 180 factory employees and their families
- Subsidized fitness and recreational programs for employees
- Member of Potters Association of Sao Paolo
- Founding member of the Water Quality Association of US
That’s all well and good in writing but does the company walk the talk…I think so. Here is a video of my recent visit to their plant in Jaboticabal in the state of Sao Paolo. To buy the product go to our online marketplace.
