Using UVC LED technology and a coarse filter to separate sediments and kill off bacteria and viruses, Alumor has developed a small compact water filtration device called Miriam’s Well.

“It has been designed with the developing world in mind, says Waimann, “so it cleans to a very high level, indeed to the most stringent levels of the US government. It works with solar energy, it is very low cost, it is very light and it does two liters in a minute. And it is very, very simple maintenance. So you switch the filter once every year or so. And that can be done by the people in the field,” says Waimann.

Miriam’s Well is still in its prototype phase and has yet to enter third world markets since the company was only founded in 2019. According to Waimann, Alumor aims to raise sufficient funds to manufacture a mass product that hundreds of thousands of people will be using over the next five years in the developing world.
