Bringing Clean Water To Every Corner On Earth
Equipment leasing, public-finance programs, and international project finance — engineered around how you actually buy capital equipment.
ForeverPure desalination and water-treatment systems are financed through five distinct channels — the right one depends on your buyer type, project size, and ownership preference.
Through our network of equipment-finance partners, ForeverPure delivers competitive terms on every system — from a 2,000 GPD watermaker through a 1 MGD municipal-scale SWRO plant.
True operating lease. Preserve capital, deduct 100% of payments as operating expense, no impact on credit lines. Fair-market-value buyout at term.
Section 179 + bonus-depreciation eligible. You own the asset from day one and capitalize it on your balance sheet. Fixed monthly payment.
Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause lease designed for containerized and trailer-mounted desalination systems. Lower payments via a fixed end-of-term residual.
Payment schedules that match your cash flow — lower payments during system commissioning or off-season, ramping up as the plant reaches full production.
Most ForeverPure equipment qualifies for substantial federal tax incentives. The combination of Section 179, bonus depreciation, and (for solar-equipped systems) the Investment Tax Credit can reduce your effective cost by 30–50% in year one.
| Incentive | Eligible Equipment | Benefit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section 179 Deduction | SWRO, BWRO, tap-water RO, pumps, controls | Up to $1,160,000 (2025) deductible in year of placement | Phase-out begins at $2.89M in total purchases |
| Bonus Depreciation | All tangible property > Section 179 limit | 40% in 2025, scheduled to phase down | Applies to remaining basis after § 179 |
| IRA § 48 ITC (Solar) | Solar PV array on Solar Oasis systems | 30% federal tax credit on solar equipment cost | +10% bonus for domestic content; +10% for energy communities |
| MACRS Depreciation | Water treatment equipment | 5-year (solar) or 7-year (RO) accelerated schedule | For amount not taken under § 179 / bonus |
| R&D Tax Credit (§ 41) | Customized engineering on first-of-kind systems | Federal + state credits on qualified design work | Often available for site-specific SWRO design |
Always consult a qualified tax advisor — ForeverPure provides equipment invoices and energy-recovery certifications but does not provide tax advice.
Water authorities, utility districts, and tribal nations have access to dedicated public-finance programs with subsidized rates and long tenors. ForeverPure has supported customers through each of the following:
State Revolving Funds offer below-market rates (often 0–2%) and tenors up to 30 years for drinking-water infrastructure projects. Administered by state agencies.
Typical project size: $500K–$50M
EPA WIFIAWater Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act low-interest direct loans for large desalination, reuse, and treatment projects. Fixed rate at the US Treasury rate.
Project size: $20M+ · Loan up to 49% of cost · 35-yr term
USDA RUSUSDA Water & Waste Disposal program: loans, grants, and loan guarantees for communities of 10,000 or fewer. Combines well with SUTA (Substantially Underserved Trust Areas) for tribal projects.
Up to 75% grant component for severe-need projects
Municipal BondsGeneral Obligation and Revenue bonds for capital infrastructure. ForeverPure provides system cost certifications and operating projections to support bond underwriting.
Often combined with SRF for blended financing
BIA / IHSBureau of Indian Affairs Water Settlements and Indian Health Service Sanitation Facilities Construction programs. Grant-based, no repayment required for qualifying tribal water infrastructure.
Available to federally recognized tribes
FEMA BRICFEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) cover hardening of water systems against drought, hurricane, and disaster scenarios.
Up to 75% federal cost share
ForeverPure systems shipped from our Santa Clara, California facility qualify for US export financing — lowering the cost of capital for buyers worldwide. We also work with multilateral development banks and bilateral aid agencies.
Export-Import Bank of the United States offers direct loans, loan guarantees, and export credit insurance for foreign buyers of US-manufactured ForeverPure systems.
US International Development Finance Corporation offers project finance, equity, political-risk insurance, and feasibility funding for emerging-market water infrastructure.
Multilateral development bank project finance for sovereign and sub-sovereign water projects. ForeverPure has supplied membrane vessels, pumps, and ERDs into MDB-financed plants since 1997.
US Trade and Development Agency funds feasibility studies and reverse trade missions that lead to US equipment exports. Often the first step before EXIM or DFC financing.
For qualifying long-term offtake projects, ForeverPure can structure a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer or Water-as-a-Service contract. Your organization commits to a per-cubic-metre tariff on delivered potable water, with no capital outlay, no equipment ownership, and full operations & maintenance included for the contract term. Ownership transfers at the end of the BOOT period.
Typical structures: 10-25 year offtake, fixed $/m³ with annual escalator capped at CPI + 2%, minimum take-or-pay volume. Best suited to municipal utilities, large resorts, and industrial parks with predictable, long-horizon water demand.
Sample 10-year total-cost-of-ownership comparison for a 132,000 GPD (500 m³/day) seawater desalination system. Real numbers; energy at $0.15/kWh; depreciation under MACRS 7-year:

| Annual energy (kWh) | 1,186,000 | 456,000 | 730,000 kWh/yr |
| Annual power cost | $177,900 | $68,400 | $109,500 |
| 10-year cumulative power | $1,779,000 | $684,000 | $1,095,000 |
