To our Maui ohana directly affected by the fires, their ohana, and all of Maui, we send our warmest aloha. 

We are doing everything we can both professionally and personally to help make Maui an even better place for kama’aina than it was before. A disaster is also an opportunity. Together, we are strong.

Please know our hearts are with you all.

Me ke aloha,

David and Cassandra

Here at Rainbow Water Maui we are working as hard as we can for you to select the very best filters to protect everyone from the water contamination the fires brought us.

We are doing everything we can to ensure we are offering the best safe water solutions for you and your ohana. 

There is no doubt that the fires will affect our water safety and quality for years to come. Water safety is now a major issue for everyone on our beloved Valley Isle.

The University of Hawai’i is testing for 86+ contaminants in the water and soil throughout the island. Fire contaminants are spread widely by wind and rain, and by absorption into the earth to the aquafers.

PARTIAL LIST OF CONTAMINANTS

In addition to the usual contaminants from burned appliances and vehicles the following contaminants have so far been identified in the burn sites:

Arsenic (from Canec tiles used in a minimum of 79% of buildings)

Lead (from paint from 80+ year old buildings, mainly in Kula)

Asbestos (from siding an insulation 80+ year old buildings mainly in Lahaina)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/POH

Benzene

Chlorates

All of these are extremely toxic to all forms of land and sea life. When mammals absorb them in small quantities and over time, permanent damage can be done.

Water filtration is now a necessity on Maui, and will be for the foreseeable future. 

We have done a great deal of research and are now offering water systems that deal with the higher levels of contaminants and the drought conditions we have been, and will be , experiencing in years to come.
