Vital Lyfe’s Access Watermaker Earns Spot on TIME Best Inventions List

A push-button device capable of turning seawater into potable water has secured a place among TIME’s top 300 innovations for 2026. The Access watermaker, developed by California-based Vital Lyfe, earned the distinction in the outdoors category for its ability to provide decentralized, reliable filtration for off-grid and maritime users.

The system simplifies the complex process of water purification through an intuitive interface, targeting a diverse user base ranging from disaster relief organizations and rural communities to long-distance sailors. By allowing individuals to generate their own clean supply from naturally occurring sources, the company aims to shift the burden of water security away from centralized infrastructure.

Jonathan Criss, CEO and co-founder of Vital Lyfe, highlighted the balance between technical efficacy and user accessibility that led to the product's recognition. The company is currently accepting pre-orders for the units, with initial shipments scheduled to begin before the end of the year. COO Andrew Harner noted that the device represents a broader push toward localized, resilient water production, framing the technology as a scalable solution to global water scarcity.
