In episode 337, Mike Nemer welcomes Jonathan Criss, founder of Vital Lyfe, for a conversation about rethinking access to clean water. Jonathan shares how his experience at SpaceX helped shape Vital Lyfe’s mission to decentralize water purification through a portable reverse osmosis device designed for use in maritime, overlanding, RV, homestead, military, and humanitarian settings.
Jonathan explains how the company’s upcoming Axis system can turn ocean water, freshwater, or brackish water into drinkable water in under 30 seconds, with power options that include A/C, DC, and solar. The conversation explores the environmental impact of small-scale desalination, lower brine output, disaster response potential, and the broader future of resilient water infrastructure.
In this episode:
- How Vital Lyfe is approaching global water scarcity through decentralized purification
- Why portable reverse osmosis could matter for boaters, RV owners, homesteaders, and overlanders
- What makes the Axis system different from traditional large-scale desalination plants
- How clean water technology can support disaster response and humanitarian relief
- The connection between space-industry manufacturing experience and sustainability innovation
