H2gO Purifier and STREAM Community Systems
Published on by Talynn Turner, Marketing Coordinator at Aqua Research LLC for Aqua Research LLC
H2gO Purifier are a truly sustainable option for emerging countries or personal use, offering no maintenance cost or resupply logistics. The purifier costs $0.50 per YEAR for salt to operate and provide a family over 40 liters (10 gallons) of safe water per day. It uses a rechargeable cell phone type battery for power and can be recharged by the on-board solar panel or micro USB port – re-charged by just about any cell phone charger, but comes with its own charger. The device is available via retail outlets for about $100 but we discount to qualified non-government organizations (NGOs) to $50.
We continue to work on commercializing electrolytic devices that are simpler and lower cost so that can be deployed in the lowest economic settings.
Our STREAM system is designed to treat up to 240,000 liters (60,000 gallons per day) for hospitals, orphanages, schools, and small communities in both normal and disaster settings. The STREAM operates on a variety of power sources including 110/220 VAC, and 12 volts DC from a car battery or solar panel. The unit is very robust and comes in a hard plastic waterproof case about the size of a briefcase.
