The Aquasafe unit is solar-powered and is designed for use at the househeld level. The unit can pastuerize up to 50 litres per day, based on 8 hours of sunshine or partly cloudy weather
Aquasafe can improve public health:
- High yield - may produce up to 50 litres of pasteurised drinking water per day
- Uses surface water or unsafe tap water; can be used even with very turbid (unclear) water
- Uses no chemicals hence no risk of toxins (such as TTHM's) being produced during pasteurisation
- Easy-to-use thermal indicator ("WAPI") as a safeguard against unfinished pasteurisation
- Simple handling system prevents treated water from getting recontaminated before it is to be used
- Pasteurized water can be stored, unopened for more than 2 weeks
Easy to use
- Does not require reading skills
- Fill a clear, plastic (PET) bottle with water (1, 1.5 or 2 ltr.). Leave a little air inside.
- Insert WAPI(temperature gauge)into bottle, wax up, ring down
- Insert the water bottle and leave it to heat up (around 1 hour)
- Check the WAPI (i.e. check if wax has melted and run down to ring)
- Extract the bottle when the pasteurisation temperature has been reached
- Use the water, hot or cooled
- Easy to use - does not require special knowledge
- No maintenance – just replace it when faulty
