WaterAI™
WaterAI™ gives every Boon system a layer of intelligence. It helps you see water quality, filter health, usage patterns and system status with clarity, so better water doesn't stay hidden inside the machine.

The think tank for all things water
Boon Labs is where our work in technology, science and sustainability comes together.
From advanced filtration to mineral intelligence, WaterAI™ to large-scale water access, every Boon system is built on years of research, field experience and product innovation.
This is where we study water more closely, so it can work better for the people who use it every day.
Built on three core principles
Technology
Smart systems that make water easier to understand, monitor and personalise.
Science
Filtration, minerals and water quality, engineered with real depth.
Sustainability
Water systems built to reduce dependence on plastic, improve access and support responsible consumption.
Our Journey
A decade in the making
Boon started in 2013, built on one belief: daily water deserves real engineering.
2013Where it began
Boon set out to bring clean, reliable water to people who'd never had consistent access to it, starting with community water systems across India.
2015Building the engineering
That work turned into UltraOsmosis™ — Boon's own purification platform, designed and built in-house rather than assembled from off-the-shelf parts.
2018Water made visible
WaterAI™ followed, bringing live monitoring to purification for the first time, and the first hotel partnerships came with it.
2021Trusted at scale
Oberoi, Aman, Six Senses and hundreds of other hotels and organisations came on board, running Boon's systems across millions of glasses a day.
2026Now: home
Everything learned at that scale is what's inside Boon Homie, Boon Tap and Boon Tall — the same engineering, finally built for a single home.
Also along the way
- 2019WaterCube arrives — smart hydration for offices and corporate campuses.
- 2022WaterAI™ 2.0: predictive maintenance and fleet dashboards.
- 20244,000+ organizations across nine countries, including Google, McKinsey and Qualcomm.
- 2025WaterStick™ launches — a retrofit that turns any purifier into a connected system.
What powers Boon
UltraOsmosis™ Filtration
Five proprietary filters, engineered in Boon's own lab rather than bought off the shelf, work together to purify water in stages, removing what shouldn't be there while holding onto what should.

Mineral Intelligence
Boon doesn't stop at purification. With Mineral Enhancers and Water Profiles, Boon helps shape water for how people actually use it, from everyday drinking to active days, brewing and more.

Every refill matters
Boon builds systems that reduce dependence on bottled water, so homes, offices and public spaces can access better water with less plastic.

The science lives in the everyday
Hydration
Better hydration starts with better understanding. Boon studies how people drink water through the day and builds systems that make water easier to access, personalise and trust.
Sustainability
Every refill matters. By building systems that reduce bottled-water dependency, Boon supports a more responsible way to consume water at home, at work and at scale.
Patents
Boon's work is supported by years of innovation across water purification, access and dispensing systems, developed in-house rather than licensed in.
