Bottle and Cup Solar Water Purifiers - Excellent way to provide clean water

The bottle and cup solar water purifier is good for people who want fresh clean water. It is environmentally friendly and uses the energy from sunlight to power the unit. The solar cells convert the sunlight into usable electrical energy to charge the batteries and power the unit.

These solar water purifiers can be used at home and when outdoors. They are great for providing clean drinking water in areas where none is available; when hiking, camping or boating, or even for use on the patio.

Alberto Medo and Francisco Gomez Paz have designed one such unit which they call solar bottles. Each bottle holds about one gallon of water and requires six hours to complete the purification process. The whole mechanism is powered entirely by the sun.

There are different versions of solar bottles available for campers and other outdoorsmen. These units are lightweight and easy to carry.

There are a variety of the various versions of bottle and cup solar water purifiers available. Even though there are different purification processes, there is always a solar panel consisting of photovoltaic cells which must receive exposure to the sunlight. These cells convert the water to electricity which then powers the purification unit. Some of these units are large, others are small, but the result is the same. People have clean drinking water and are free from the threat of disease through polluted water.

These units may be available in camping or outdoor equipment stores, both land-based and online. An internet search reveals the online sources that are available with the different brands and models.
