About Noah System
Noah System sells a device that automatically flushes stagnant water from existing fountains and sinks. It is designed for schools, homes, daycares and public buildings.
Noah System has piloted the system in three Chicago public schools and protected more than 100 water outlets. Founder Michael Ramos invented the device after encountering elevated lead levels as a Chicago Public Schools building engineer.

Why Investors Backed Noah System
Noah System addresses lead exposure without requiring a building to replace its pipes first. Its device fits existing fountains and sinks, then flushes water automatically to prevent stagnation. Chicago school pilots reduced lead readings and protected more than 100 outlets. The product also avoids filter replacements and manual flushing.
The problem it targets
Lead, copper and bacteria can build up when treated water sits in older plumbing. Schools and public buildings may rely on staff to flush fixtures by hand. Replacing pipes can require construction and large budgets, so Noah offers an interim way to reduce exposure.
What the product does
Each Noah unit attaches to an existing fountain or sink and runs timed flushing cycles. Installation takes less than 30 minutes, requires no filter replacement and uses about 12 gallons of water a day. The device sells for $495 on the company site.
Progress so far
Chicago Public Schools piloted Noah at Onahan, Orr and Von Steuben schools, covering more than 100 outlets. Lead readings fell below the action level and often became undetectable. Noah System also has installations in homes and contracts with school districts, Aqua Illinois and the Department of Defense.
Who backs it
Noah joined the Sustainable Water Tech Accelerator run by mHUB and Current. mHUB says the program gave its cohort engineering support, design resources, mentors and investor connections. The company has not publicly named the investor behind its October 2026 funding round.
