Hi,
I want to start by saying I completely understand your frustration. There’s no excuse for the delays, the lack of communication, or the experience you’ve had — and I take full responsibility.
The truth is, Water ATL was on the brink of shutting down. As the founder (Patrice Taffo), I hit a point where there simply wasn’t enough money to fulfill the orders we had. A combination of unexpected business issues, manufacturing problems, and financial strain pushed us to the edge. I had to completely pause operations and focus on raising the money needed to save the company and make things right — not just short-term fixes, but a real restart.
It was the hardest season I’ve ever been through as a business owner. I know communication should’ve been better, and for many of you, it felt like we disappeared. That’s on me, and I own that.
But I want you to know we’re now rebuilding — slowly but surely. Orders have been going out again. We’ve streamlined everything and made major changes to ensure this never happens again.
If your order is still pending or unresolved, we want to make it right. Please feel free to reach out directly, and I’ll personally make sure you’re taken care of.
Thank you for even considering supporting us in the first place. That means more than you know.
Warmest regards,
Patrice Taffo
Founder, Water ATL
