LeapFrog Design

LeapFrog Design is a clean technology company based in Bend, Oregon, that specializes in modular, nature-based water treatment and recycling systems. The company developed the Estuary system, which utilizes plant-powered filtration and integrated microbes to clean greywater from household sources such as sinks, showers, and washing machines. This treated water is then safely reused for irrigation and toilet flushing. The systems are designed to be scalable, aesthetically integrated into landscapes as planter boxes, and are equipped with digital, 24/7 monitoring technology to optimize performance and ensure compliance with NSF 350 international water quality standards.

The company provides these solutions to homeowners, builders, and developers to combat water scarcity, reduce reliance on external water supplies, and lower monthly utility costs. By enabling onsite water reuse, LeapFrog Design helps mitigate the impact of drought conditions and restrictive water usage policies. Their technology is particularly relevant for residential projects, tiny homes, and off-grid living, where resilient and efficient water management is essential. LeapFrog Design has received funding from the National Science Foundation for its research and development and maintains a focus on providing sustainable, high-performance water treatment that adds long-term value to residential infrastructure.
