On this page, commercial water treatment systems are presented whose material aligns with Akvopedia's supportive WASH focus. The content has been provided by the companies who produce the products, but this does not mean that Akvo endorses any particular product or business. If you want to add a product, please contact winona@[at]akvo.org. ==Product: Trunz Water Systems==TRUNZ WATER SYSTEMS is a designer and manufacturer of water purification equipment for use in remote and harsh environments. Their designs incorporate a unique combination of advanced (membrane) filtration technologies and renewable energy sources. As the systems generate their own power supply for water purification it is a preferred choice for “off-grid” remote areas. The combination of sustainable independent power generation and robust (SWISS quality) components makes it an ideal solution for Drinking Water Shortages in harsh areas.  [[Trunz Water Systems | Click here for full product information for Trunz Water Systems]] ==Product: Sawyer PointONE™ Biological Water Filters==[[Image:Sawyer Saves.jpg.jpg|thumb|right|200px|For only USD$ 50 a filter kit can be purchased. All you need is a bucket.]]We launched the Sawyer Saves campaign to enable individuals to easily join us in bringing clean, safe water quickly and inexpensively to people in need. We've partnered with several prominent humanitarian organizations that are working toward solving the global water crisis and are sharing the inspirational stories of lives changed that we've personally witnessed. All of our products use the Sawyer Hollow Fiber Membrane Filter to deliver 0.1 absolute micron biological filtration. Sawyer filters remove 7 log (99.99999%) of all bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli; and 6 log (99.9999%) of all protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The filters are housed in different casings for different uses. Here are our most popular clean water solutions for international travel and disaster response: * Sawyer Squeeze Filter System* Sawyer PointONE™ Filter Kit & Sawyer Point Zero Two™ Purifier Kit [[Sawyer PointONE™ Biological Water Filters|Click here for full product information for Sawyer PointONE™ Biological Water Filters]] ==Product: H2Optima==[[Image:H2optima.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The [[H2Optima]] unit can change brackish or sea water to potable water, using solar panels and no other input energy in the process, making this unit highly sustainable.]]Based on the original idea of desalination plants, Optima Renovables has developed a solar powered water purification unit specifically for areas that have no electricity supply. For this device, an intelligent power management system has been created, to control the energy generated by the photovoltaic modules and the energy required by the treatment membranes system and pumps. Thanks to this system, high performance is obtained during the majority of the operating time. This optimizes the total results of the volume of processed water and therefore increasing the efficiency of the equipment. H2Optima is suitable for any type of water, from slightly contaminated water to sea water, obtaining productions from 500 to 7500 liters/ day, depending on the starting water, only using the energy produced by the 3 photovoltaic panels. [[H2Optima|Click here for full product information for the H2Optima purification system.]] ==Product: Naiade==[[Image:naiade3.jpg|thumb|right|200px| The Naiade water purification unit used in India. Note the PV panel above the unit.]]The Naiade water disinfection unit is a spin-off from Nedap’s and Trojan’s know-how of large scale drinking water and industrial waste water treatment plants. The Naiade drinking water disinfection unit very effectively combines the potential offered by solar energy, UV light and battery back-up. The Naiade has been designed to remove bacteria, protozoa, viruses and colloidal parts from raw sweet water. It operates without the use of fossil fuel or chemicals.  [[Naiade water purification unit | Click here for full product information for the Naiade water purification system.]] <br><br><br> ==Product: Villagepump 700==[[Image:Villagepump700.jpg|thumb|right|200px| The Village pump 700]]The VILLAGEPUMP 700 yields at least 700 litres of fully purified, cool drinking water an hour or over 5.5 m3 per day, all of the qualities that meets WHO standards. Each Villagepump employs multi-stage filtering that reduce diseases by removing waterborne pathogens that can cause diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera and hepatitis. The units can operate from all forms of surface water, including ponds, lakes and streams. [[Villagepump 700| Click here for full product information on the Village Pump 700]] <br><br><br> ==Product: QuaWater Village Solution== [[Image:VillageSolution2.jpg|thumb|right|200px| The Village Solution provides safe drinking water to rural villages and settlements]]

The QuaWater Village Solution (TM) is a stand-alone system, designed together with a South African CBO to provide a permanent, multi-purpose water supply wherever surface water is available. It uses a combination of proven technologies to purify contaminated ground or surface water and supply safe drinking water. Depending on local needs other features, such as utility water for washing or water for cattle and irrigation can be added. Where needed provisions are made for the protection of the water source. <br>

 

Up to 2000 people can be served with drinking and utility water and the system can be easily scaled up. <br>

The process of filtration begins when dirty water is poured into the pre-filter bucket. The 27 micron pre-filter removes coarser turbidity. At the bottom of the bucket, there is a halogen chamber that releases minimal chlorine to prevent the formation of biofilm on the membrane.  Simple gravity forces the water through a tube and into the purification cartridge, which contains millions of tiny pores called capillary membranes (ultrafiltration, pore size of 20 nanometres) that retain bacteria, viruses, parasites and fine particles. Subsequently, clean and safe water is then ready to flow from the attached blue tap. The average flow rate is 8 - 10 litres</hour. As tested at the University of Arizona, the initial flow rate is 12-19 litres/hour. center>|[[Image:lifestraw family.jpg|thumb|right|120px|link=LifeStraw Family| Click here for full product information for <center>[[LifeStraw Family]]<br>Switzerland headquarters, global distribution]]<br/center> ==Product:Perfector|-E==|[[Image:perfecter-e3.jpg|thumb|right|200px120px|The link=Perfector-E for emergencies.

It is originally developed for emergency aid purposes by PWN, Waterleidingbedrijf Noord-Holland, the Netherlands. However, it is also applicable as a permanent, decentralised, stand-alone water supplying unit. The Perfector-E is capable of treating any polluted surface water and providing high quality potable water. It is not designed for desalination, but it is a perfect pre-treatment for RO. The perfector-E should be kept at a maximum distance of 25 meters from a water source. In addition to Perfector-E, there’s Perfector-O which is effective in treating heavily polluted water (Arsenic, TDS, Iron, Fluoride, and the like of it). The technology uses similar techniques with addition of RO adsorption and UV light radiation. Perfector-O provides high removal of As (III) and As (V). It does not introduce toxic residues. |<center>[[Perfector-E| Click here for full product information for Perfector-E]]<br>Based in Netherlands, office in Singapore]]<br/center> ==Product:PUR==|[[Image:PUR.jpg|thumb|right|200px120px|Using the PUR packet is simple.

PUR has also been documented to reduce diarrheal disease from 16 to greater than 90% incidence in five randomized, controlled health intervention studies. In addition, PUR removes heavy metals, such as arsenic, and chemical contaminants from water. 190 million sachets of PUR, treating 1,9 million litres of water, have been distributed in emergency response or old through social marketing projects in 2003-2009. PUR has been made available in over 55 countries with numerous partners using a variety of strategies. For distribution, P&G works with over 80 organizations such as PSI, CARE, World Vision, Aquaya Institute, USAID, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the International Council of Nurses, Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs, Save the Children, Samaritan's Purse and Americares. Flocculant/Disinfectant|<center>[[PUR (- Flocculant/Disinfectant)| Click here for full product information for PUR]]- Flocculant / <br>Disinfectant]]<br>India and beyond]]<br/center> ==Product: Pureit==|[[Image:pureit3.jpg|thumb|right|200px120px|The link=Pureit household filtrations units.
