Meet the Awesome Crew
Steve Nipper – President/Owner & “Water Guru”
I started Sol Wave Water 10 years ago to help people and businesses with their water issues with solutions. I have over 37 years of experience in the water treatment industry designing systems, selecting processes, and helping customers understand how the different systems work and what will solve their problems best. Soft water for your shower and dishes, filtered/purified/alkaline water for drinking, or Ultra-High Purity for your aerospace manufacturing application, I can help. We are just concluding our Alpha test on resolving the high copper levels in some Montecito homes, we have been successful and are looking for two more houses with the issue to begin Beta testing. As a local Santa Barbara (born and raised!) resident I understand our water and how to correct people’s individual water needs. Direct line to reach me 805-845-5443 or Contact
