About

About American Water & Air, Inc. | Central Illinois’ Water Professionals Founded in 2000 by Dirk Homeier, American Water & Air, Inc. has spent over 25 years delivering elite water treatment solutions to families and businesses throughout the Greater Central Illinois region. We are a family-run company that places honest customer care, authentic relationships, and community service above all else. A Story of Resilience and Purpose Dirk Homeier built American Water & Air alongside his family, which includes his eight children—five of whom are adopted. In 2012, Dirk survived a near-fatal bicycling accident that placed immense physical and financial strain on his family and business. Following his complete recovery, Dirk returned to work with a deeply renewed vision for quality customer care, focusing every day on building transparent relationships with his community. Hope—Just Add Water: Our Social Mission We connect our customers to a bigger purpose. A percentage of the profit from every single water system sold is directly donated to critical local and global humanitarian missions: The James Project (Springfield, IL): This local non-profit provides homes and resources for foster families in Sangamon County. State law requires every foster child to have their own bed. Through their Closet 1:27 program, they supply complete beds to foster families at a cost of $150 per bed. American Water & Air regularly funds these beds to ease the financial burden on foster parents. Myanmar Hope Christian Mission (MyHope): In northwest Myanmar, communities rely on polluted streams and shallow holes for drinking water, leading to severe water-borne illnesses. It costs $1,500 to build a deep, concrete-lined well. We donate a portion of our sales to help MyHope dig these wells, delivering pure, safe water to multiple village families. Advanced Water Solutions We pair our mission-driven ethics with top-tier water science, configuring premium residential and commercial systems to handle Central Illinois' specific water challenges: Water Softening: Eliminating calcium and magnesium to prevent limescale, preserve appliances, and protect skin and hair. Whole-House Filtration: High-performance, multi-stage systems targeting sediment, chlorine, rust, and chemical toxins. Drinking Water Systems: Under-sink purification engineered to deliver crisp, bottled-quality water right from your tap.
