Transcript of AQUADROP water purification system
Aquadrop is a new breakthrough water filtration innovation that that allows the user to put a hose
into any water source and make safe drinking water using solar power.
Aquadrop was born out of our deep respect for the natural world, a deeper awareness of our oneness with nature, a recognition that our fate as individuals is inseparable from our fate as a species and the future of life on the planet.
We have developed a technology based on moth-er nature’s natural processes, using natural fil-ters, gravity, sunlight, and low pressure to pro-vide clean water to anyone in the world. We’ve reengineered the sediment filtration process – We have used Mother Nature and gravity to
THE BIG IDEA
enable us to use the lower pressure drop to get the impurities out of water with a lower power require ment so we can use solar energy.
Once water has passed through the Aquadrop water filtration system, it is 99.99% free of harmful viruses, pollutants, bacteria, and cysts, preventing water-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid. Water from rivers, oceans, wells, lakes, streams, ponds, polluted brackish water and even sewage contaminated water can be converted to clean water that is safe to drink.
Most systems are designed to create dependency on the manufacture for filter cartridge replace-ment and certified technician services.
THE AQUADROP SYSTEM:• No Filters to Replace• No Certified technicians• No Fuel• Made with Industrial strength parts built to last
The biggest advantage the system has is that we are breaking supply chain dependen-cy. There are no filters to be replaced so no cleaning, no downtime for replacing or waiting on filters. The system is self-cleaning, so no certified technicians are needed. This makes operating cost incredibly small if not zero.
BREAKING SUPPLY CHAIN DEPENDENCY
The AquaDrop is a system where you put a hose into any water source and
make safe drinking water using solar power.
The design behind this equipment is patent pending sediment filtration technology followed by 5 minute
contact time of CENTAUR carbon with Chlorine disinfection. The patent pending filtration technolo-
gy filters the sediment out of the water.
The CENTAUR carbon is for the removal of Chlora-mine, hydrogen sulfide, bromate reduction, iron
removal, VOCs, most pesticides, and will absorb other contaminants with high catalytic activities.
The disinfectant is Chlorine, however other disinfec-tion chemicals can be used. The disinfection system
will maintain a 2 ppm chlorine residual to kill any microorganisms while not having a Chlorine taste.
“The conventional method of providing portable water in the wake of a disaster is often
costly and logistically complex. Normally, portable water is
distributed to communities by trucking in bottled water or using diesel generator
purification systems.”
THE PROBLEM NOW IS THE SOLUTION WILL BE
“Any proposed system must eliminate many points of
failure by presenting a stand-alone design allowing for
flexible transport of the unit by air, land or water bringing a
cost-effective, high-yield water purification capability to
potential users incorporating a self-generating power source.”
ACCORDING TO THE US DEPT. OF HOMELAND SECURITY
OPENING NEW TAPSWater from rivers, ocean water,
wells, lakes, streams, ponds, and even polluted brackish water can
be converted to clean water that is safe to drink.
GOOD WATER IS SAFE WATEROnce water has passed through the
Aquadrop system, it is 99.99% free of harmful viruses, pollutants, bacteria,
and cysts, preventing water-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid.
