primary energy source, 12/24V battery alternative.
• No diesel generator
• Produces up to 2,500 gallons per day(GPD)*
– *Based on a 1.7 gpm/24 hour production rate.
• Works on very low feed pressure. Can also be
gravity fed from elevated water source.
• Packaged in portable rolling case
• Light weight, small foot print, easy to deploy.

What impact can that have on a
typical DR/HA operation?
• Relieves burden on transportation system used to
deliver bottled water.
• Transport can then used to move additional food or
medical supplies.
• Dramatically reduces waste created by empty plastic
bottles which need to be removed and wind up in
trash cans or landfill.

Cryptosporidium
•
•
•
Cryptosporidium is usually connected
with poor sanitation. It is a common
and difficult problem in developing
countries and ranks as a leading
cause of diarrheal illness worldwide
Cryptosporidium parvum is a
waterborne parasite encased in a
leathery shell, or oocyst, and causes
severe flu- like symptoms when
ingested
The only treatment is to let the
infection run its course and drink
plenty of fluids to restore electrolyte
balance to the body.
•
•
•
Cryptosporidium responds somewhat
to chlorine but only in high doses,
and it is resistant to many commonly
used hospital and laboratory
disinfectants
Typical municipal water treatment
plants may not be set up to test for or
remove Cryptosporidium.
To date, it seems Cryptosporidium
can only be removed effectively by
barrier methods of filtration including
ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.
