With summer already underway, the need for water and other products increases during the humid hot Texas heat, and even during the hurricane season.
And Texas Proud H2O, family owned and operated business in Groves, is ready to serve Southeast Texas.
According to founder and CEO Dan Varella, the family started the company in May 2014.
“We were originally slated to buy a company that serviced the plants and commercial sector with bottled water,” he said. “This was our introduction to the need of water and water related items to Southeast Texas industry. The company is 100% owned and operated by our family.”
Lisa Varella is the company’s director of administration and their son, Daniel, is in charge of our warehouse and cleaning.
Andrew Theriac is in charge of delivery and scheduling and his wife, Faith, is the customer service leader.
According to Varella, he and his wife, Lisa, have immersed themselves in their community and love raising their four children in the region.
Texas Proud H20 offers pallets of bottled water, ice and water totes, and electrolytes. Varella said the company’s focus is on the customers and they value being able to provide a simple, innovative solution for each of them.
“Whether they are in a local refinery or business, we have a solution that fits their needs,” he added.
As for supply, Vallera said the company keeps 80-100 pallets of water available at all times in their warehouse and are committed to servicing the community in times of need.
“We provide affordable, fast service with pallets of water,” he said.
But, when more than water is needed, they can also provide pallets of Gatorade because electrolytes are essential for the body’s function. Vallera said his company can also stock Sqwincher or All Sport brand sport drinks.
With the pallets, free delivery with every order is always included.
Texas Proud H2O also provides red ice and water totes because the Southeast Texas heat can be unbearable at times. They provided two sizes of totes, both hold plenty of “ice cold” 16.9-ounce bottles.
“We realize the immediate need for ice-cold bottled water,” Varella said.
He noted the totes make supplying water to a job site fast and hassle-free.
“We pride ourselves on our efficient rotation of totes, keeping your area clutter-free and stocked with sanitary bottles,” added Varella.
The totes are also equipped to deliver “ice-cold” Gatorade directly to the jobsite.
According to Vallera, many studies have shown that electrolytes are essential for the body’s function.
“They balance your PH levels, move nutrients in and out of your cells, and promote proper function of your heart, nerve, muscle, and brain cells,” he said.
“We have freezer pops, single serve sticks ready for mixing in a 16-ounces bottle. We make fueling your body simple and affordable with free onsite delivery.”
Texas Proud H2O provides an affordable way to have high-quality drinking water on demand with bottleless water coolers.
“Our 2-stage industrial grade filter systems provide unlimited hot/cold water on demand, eliminating the hassle of having to store or replace large, cumbersome bottles,” Vallera said.
He added that, in the near future, bagged ice will be available.
Varella noted the need for hydration, depending on when companies and plants schedule turnarounds or shut downs.
“Summer is definitely also always busy,” he said.
Some Texas Proud H2O customers include United Rental, STI Group, Echo Group, Valero, NOV, Indorama, ExxonMobil, Admiral Field Services, Diamond Green Diesel and Zachry.
“Southeast Texas is our home, and it is our heart to provide the region with quality hydration products with service you can trust,” Varella said.
