In Memory of Larry Jones

"The first medicine is water. He spent his life making sure it was safe for everyone."

Larry Jones was a friend, mentor, and visionary whose compassion drove a lifetime of innovation in clean-water technology. His mission began with a tragedy: while on vacation in Belize, Larry witnessed the death of a child who had drunk unsafe water. He resolved, then and there, to dedicate himself to developing solutions for contaminated water everywhere.

The Birth of CUH₂O

Working alongside a doctor and a scientist over the course of two years, Larry created CUH₂O — an all-natural mineral solution using copper, zinc, iron, and other natural elements. He handcrafted the early batches with colleagues in his own backyard, motivated by passion rather than profit.

CUH₂O went on to receive official approval from the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) as "an all-natural bactericide, fungicide, and algaecide — effective against over 100 bacterial, fungal, and algae-related diseases." Additional validation came through EPA, FDA, and USDA testing, confirming its effectiveness against pathogens including E. coli and Giardia.

A Fearless Spirit

Beyond his scientific work, Larry was a former lightweight boxer and a race-car enthusiast who approached every endeavor with what those close to him called a "fearless drive." That same determination fueled his quest to bring safe, natural water to people who needed it most.

His Legacy Lives On

Larry passed away in 2020. World Water Solutions continues his vision — carrying forward his mission to provide clean, natural water across the globe and advancing the research he pioneered. Every sanctuary we build and every community we serve is part of the legacy he began.
