A household name for 25 years
Recognizing the global need for clean drinking water, Z8-Water is committed to making a positive environmental impact. As an ambassador for Made Blue, they offer the most advanced water softeners on the market. These softeners are designed for efficient “regeneration” – they only rinse themselves clean when absolutely necessary. Z8-Water matches every litre used during this regeneration process with a donation to Made Blue, directly supporting worldwide access to clean drinking water. Through this innovative one-for-one model, Z8-Water is putting its words into action to create a better, more sustainable planet.
Robert van der Leeuw of Z8-Water says, “We champion transparency, clarity, and honesty. We back this up with an all-inclusive price and superior service. As a local player with two branches – our headquarters in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht and a sister location in Berkel en Rodenrijs – we are quick to respond when needed. We are now the largest provider in South Holland with over 3,500 customers, and we take pride in our 9.3 out of 10 customer rating.”
“
Z8-Water is committed to clean drinking water, everywhere in the world. Every water softener we sell has an all-in warranty of 15 years, during which the water softener uses water for flushing, which we call regeneration. Z8-Water has chosen to donate every litre of water used during the regeneration process to Made Blue.

2.5 millions litres a year
While maintaining high-quality water is a priority for many, access to clean water remains a luxury unavailable to 1 in 10 people worldwide. For those lacking this basic necessity, concerns over limescale on bathroom walls or softer skin and water pale in comparison to the profound limitations and challenges they face daily due to insufficient clean water. Ensuring universal access to safe, clean water should be a global imperative.
Dedicated to providing clean drinking water for all, Z8-Water donates 27,000 litres of clean water to those in need for every water softener sold through their partnership with Made Blue. This commitment will generate over 2,5 million litres of clean water annually, benefiting approximately 24 people each year. Z8-Water hopes to positively impact not only their customers but also those lacking clean drinking water with this donation.

One litre for one litre
In our program One litre for one litre you can convert the water saving or water consumption of your product, service or organization into an equal amount of litres of clean drinking water in developing countries. Choosing a selection of customers or donating more litres is also an option. Transparency is paramount and we are happy to help you communicate about it!
