We are an Earthwise Company
At GW Pumps and Purification, we believe that it is important to be Earthwise for numerous reasons, and our beliefs are reflected in our actions.
1) First, we believe that God created this world and has appointed mankind as stewards of His wonderful creation. As stewards, it is our responsibility to care for and maintain the Earth. For us, for our children, and for the generations to follow.
2) Second, we believe we must be prudent in the use and expenditure of our resources in order to minimize our impact on the environment. We all live in a delicate and fragile circle of life; what may seem to be a small drop of recklessness may in fact cause ripple effects, becoming a cataclysmic event for other plants, animals or other organisms sharing our planet.
3) Third, being members of the water industry, we know and understand better than most that our water is a precious and delicate resource. Although our Earth’s surface is 70% water, only 1% is available as fresh water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing, washing and other household uses. And that 1% is not only for human consumption, but must be shared with all of God’s creation. Our knowledge of water as the universal solvent leads us to understand the complications associated with careless actions. Improperly disposed-of waste, leaking tanks, over-fertilization, improperly constructed wells, illegal dumping, spills, and many other point and non-point sources lead to our water sources becoming more and more polluted. As keepers of our Earth, we must be proactive and not allow this to continue. Future generations will pay the price if we don’t judiciously protect our water supplies.
4) Fourth, as blessed Americans, we must recognize that we have been given much. And therefore, it becomes our honorable responsibility to help those who have little. Our company believes in giving back. We regularly organize and/or participate in water projects to third world countries and local community events which directly benefit others.
Water Mission Projects
Many of the people in the villages we assist are in desperate need of having a safe and closely located source of drinking water. Americans tend to take for granted that water is only steps away from anywhere we are in our homes and offices. However, for many in developing countries, it is necessary to walk a mile or more to fill jugs of drinking water to carry back to their homes. See our giving back page for more information.
Lastly, although our beliefs are important, they are worthless unless we support them with our actions. GW Pumps and Purification practices stewardship of the planet Earth in many portions of our business. Furthermore, we seek to incorporate other Earthwise principals, such as recycling products and reducing waste. We are fully committed to doing what we can to not only be good stewards of this planet, but to encourage and educate others in the importance of being good stewards of our environment.
At the bottom of each of our web pages we state, “We are an Earthwise Company.” We do this as an identifier of our commitment to our planet. We encourage you to adopt this “Earthwise” philosophy in your personal life, at your job, and everywhere you may venture.

“I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the Earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.”
