About Tahoe Water Systems
A Green Alternative to Existing Water Systems

Water systems consume vast amounts of energy, second only to transportation which is becoming more dependent on water to grow fuel stock.

In California alone, 32% of our natural gas, 19% of our electricity and over 88 million gallons of diesel are consumed so we can eat, brush our teeth, flush our toilets and put ethanol in our fuel tanks.

Water is a major source of pollution and our demand for water is only growing. Tahoe Water Systems, designs and manufacture ultra high efficiency water systems that are designed from ground up to operate on solar energy, since peak water usage follows peak sun.

Our technologies are in motor design, software driven controllers and our new low cost NFX battery system; all of which extend beyond just water management.
