Ofra Aqua Plants Ltd

Ofra Aqua Plants is a global pioneer in research and implementation of nature-based technology for treating water and creating natural swimming pools and ornamental systems.

The methods developed in Israel by Ofra Aqua’s scientists are based on tailored constructed wetlands containing aquatic plants and other ingredients. These wetlands purify and cleanse water, while enriching it with minerals and secondary metabolites such as antioxidants and vitamins. The resulting water is clean, healthy and full of life, just like in a spring or a clean stream without any chemical disinfectants. Water from Ofra Aqua’s ponds take on the color of a spring, their water completely transparent or light green, not sterile blue which is the color of chlorine.

Ofra Aqua has a research division that carries out studies regarding water purification in Israel and abroad. The company is operational around the world with subsidiary companies in Spain and China, and a partnership in Mexico. The company’s wide range of commercial enterprises and research collaborators reach national levels, such as with Mekorot (Israel’s national water company), water purification authorities in China, Italy, Catalan; Mexico, Environmental agency of France and more.

Ofra Aqua develops, designs and builds bodies of water based on wetlands, including water gardens, public and private swimming pools, rainwater harvesting basins and more. Using experimentally determined nature-based techniques the company purifies contaminated water in streams, springs, lakes and wells. In addition, the company develops and promotes onsite solutions for purifying wastewater, sludge volume reduction by 95%, and even offers solutions for extreme waste like landfills and chemical factories. Ofra Aqua Plants is also engaged in preventing pollution from reaching groundwater. 

The company was founded in 1991 and has carried out hundreds of projects of different sizes, in Israel and abroad: in China, Europe, Central America and the Middle East. The demand for Ofra Aqua's services is a result of the reputation built over 30 years as a global R&D leader, employing a highly skilled staff specializing in providing natural and ecological solutions, where others have failed.
