Bluemont has become the sole distributor of Elemental Water Makers’ solar-powered desalination systems across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands, expanding access to sustainable freshwater solutions in some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions.
Elemental Water Makers, a Netherlands-based company, designs systems that convert seawater or brackish water into clean, drinkable water using only solar energy—without diesel, chemicals, or emissions. The technology is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to rainwater tanks, diesel-driven plants, and ageing bores that remain the mainstay in many remote islands, coastal villages, and drought-hit communities.
Bluemont has already collaborated with Elemental Water Makers over the past year, installing units that serve both small island populations and off-grid eco-resorts. With exclusive rights now in place, the company will manage supply, installation, and ongoing support across the region.
“This partnership comes at a time when demand for climate-resilient, low-maintenance water solutions is growing fast across Australasia and the Pacific,” said Paul Hart, Partner and Project Manager at Bluemont®. “We’re excited to deliver proven, chemical-free desalination technology to the communities that need it most.”
The move comes as Pacific nations continue to grapple with water insecurity driven by rising sea levels, saltwater intrusion, and prolonged droughts. By offering solar-powered desalination, Bluemont® aims to help reduce reliance on fossil fuels while strengthening resilience to climate change.
