About Us

During COVID-19, as an emergency Blue Can Water™ authorized Historically Underutilized Business (HUBZone) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) federal reseller from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, KOCOL LLC supplied Blue Can Water™ to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Bath Community Hospital and to the City of Clearwater, FL Fire Department.   

 The ZWATER™ brand was created by John M. Kocol in 2018 when he acquired ZWATER.COM™. Given that the letter Z is last, he thought of the tagline: ZWATER END OF THE LINE FOR PLASTIC?™ in 2025.

 "ZWATER END OF THE LINE FOR PLASTIC?™ is the trademarked slogan of ZWATER™, an eco-conscious American water brand packaged entirely in infinitely recyclable aluminum bottles. Coined in 2025 by founder John M. Kocol, the tagline represents the company's core mission to permanently phase out single-use plastic bottled water and eliminate ocean pollution.
