Solar Clean Water Solution

Solar Solutions is a family-owned social enterprise formed in 1996 to develop inexpensive water purification devices for refugees and rural populations in the developing world.AquaPak solar water pasteurizer.provides enough safe water daily for a mother and child.uses time-proven pasteurization technology to denature all human pathogens in biologically contaminated water.includes temperature indicator (WAPI) to confirm pasteurization is complete.uses only solar energy to heat water to pasteurization temperature.eliminates need to collect or burn firewood to boil water.provides safe hot water for drinking, cooking, or personal hygiene.provides its own safe water storage container.made of polyethylene sheets with UV inhibitors for 2+ years of daily use.inexpensive and simple to manufacture in the developing world.provides safe water and jobs for local communities The US Department of Energy's National Renewal Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the World Health Organization have recognized the pasteurization process as the most effective methods of purifying biologically contaminated source water (see excerpt from their reports). Pasteurization is a 150-year old time proven process used daily in the industrialized world to protect millions of gallons of milk, wine, beer, honey, etc. Our long-term goal is to establish independent manufacturing companies in developing countries where the AquaPak could be manufactured at the lowest cost. We estimate the manufacturing cost to be less than $2.00US each when using a labor rate of $1.20US/hour
