LONG BEACH – Long Beach residents John and Debbie Oakes recently started a home-based business called O2 Enterprises. They are independent dealers for EcoQuest International, an American company that manufactures and sells healthy living technologies, such as air and water purification systems.

Coming soon is a rooftop wind energy system that produces electricity for homes and businesses.

O2 Enterprises offers products that help people breathe clean air and provide purified drinking water. O2 Enterprises also offers household and wellness products made from organic sources.

EcoQuest International (formerly Alpine Industries) is the world’s largest manufacturer of air purifiers called Living Air. It is a blend of technologies that purifies indoor air electronically just like nature does outdoors … is compact, filterless and it cleanses the air inside the home like no other appliance available. Living Air helps remove vast amounts of dust, dead skin, pollen and dust mites from your air – it has been scientifically proven to eliminate odors and smoke. In addition mold, mildew and bacteria can be sanitized in your home. So if you have problems such allergies, asthma, breathing difficulties, pets, odors, smoke and even snoring, this machine may help. They have different units for homes, business and industrial use.

Living Water and Springhouse are water purification systems that purify and clean your tap water at the point of deliver for your home or business. Living Water installs at the sink in minutes and provides great tasting water 24 hours a day. They also offer whole house systems and a system designed specifically for wells.

As owners/operators of several commerical businesses, the Oakes were looking for a business that could be flexible and work around fishing seasons and demands. And since air quality, water quality and energy are concerns for us all, they were excited to become involved with EcoQuest since they offer the products that are right for healthy living.
