Tel Aviv, Israel — October 23, 2018 — Startup MAYU announced the release of Stream, an ingenious new water purification device that aerates and purifies drinking water with a natural swirling motion. The Stream’s inventive design generates a whirlpool in the glass carafe when it’s placed on the patent-pending vortex base.

The MAYU Stream enhances drinking water with a swirling motion that naturally aerates, detoxifies, and improves the taste and quality of water. Whether it’s tap, filtered, bottled, spring, or reverse osmosis water, aeration influences the waters’ physical and chemical characteristics by doing the following:

• Increases gas transfer between the atmosphere and the body of water by more than 6,000%, balancing the water faster.

• Naturally speeds up chlorine evaporation. A process that takes days in stagnant water is expedited to only take minutes.

• Introduces atmospheric oxygen, which naturally purifies and freshens water.

• Removes foul tastes and odors from water. These may be dissolved gases or volatile organic molecules.

• Strips volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as MTBE, toluene, trichloroethylene, benzene and many other harmful organics.

• Raises the pH levels back to the sweet spot of 6.5 to 8.5.

Inspired by nature, MAYU’s engineers created the Stream to produce healthy water while eliminating the need for disposable, single-use plastics. The Stream’s pure, non-glazed porcelain base is designed to emulate rocks gently carved by water, and the carafe’s elegant shape is inspired by the curves of a drop of water. The name MAYU is derived from the ancient Inca word for the Milky Way, “the river of the sky.”

Key features of MAYU Stream:
• Perfect pour carafe — The 1.5-liter vessel is made from the highest-quality borosilicate glass with a choice of sustainably-sourced bamboo or brushed stainless-steel cap. A medical-grade silicone O-ring inside the cap seals the carafe.
• Motionless motor — Controlled by solid-state load cells that sense the presence of the vortex vessel and starts the swirling motion automatically, calibrating the volume and speed according to the amount of water in the vessel for a constant perfect vortex.
• Rechargeable batteries — The vortex will keep swirling for up to 2 hours unplugged.
• Magnetic tip charger — Fast and easy. Connect in a snap.
• Feather-touch control — Just touch it to get water swirling.
• Safe, non-toxic materials — All of the components that touch the water are food-grade materials, including high-quality borosilicate glass, natural bamboo, stainless steel and silicone.

The MAYU Stream (1.5-liter glass carafe and vortex base) can be pre-ordered at kck.st/2SaiE8E starting at $89, with an expected delivery date of May 2019. For more info, visit www.mayuwater.com.
