Pure Water for Remote Locations - PWP-C Portable Solar Water Purifiers

A PWP-C portable solar water purifier is a solar and battery powered water purification system that is ideal for remote uses where power lines are not readily available. The system can produce clean drinking water from almost any source at a rate of one gallon per minute. Many times the need for clean water goes hand in hand with the lack of electricity and so this solar powered system was designed to provide water purification. Continuous operation is available because of the battery that can store energy when the sun is not out. Also, the system may include a power cord that is attached to a cigarette lighter plug for use with a car. Battery cable clips can be plugged into a vehicle battery. There are also additional components that can increase the water purification rate to five gallons per minute or more. This dual power option allows you to make the most of any situation and maintain your flexibility while retaining your access to clean, fresh water.

The PWP-C portable solar water purifier pushes water from the original water source, such as a stream, lake, or pond; to a pre-filter to remove sediment. The water is then sent through a carbon block polishing filter. This portion of the process removes many impurities including cysts, herbicides, pesticides, VOC's, chlorine, and other chemicals. The final step is an ultraviolet light that disinfects and destroys harmful microorganisms. The three steps in this process produces drinking water reliably in remote locations and is a 'must have' for anyone who will be traveling off the beaten path or anywhere with a questionable water supply. Since areas without properly functioning waste water systems are more likely to be lacking electricity as well, it is important to find a water purification system that makes you self reliant.
