Description

The WaterQuip SOLAR-1 is a solar powered water purification system that cleans water using proven ultraviolet (UV) disinfection technology and fine sediment and taste/odor filters. UV is a chemical free process which deactivates bacteria, virus, and protozoa by up to 99.99%, thus providing clean and safe drinking water which meets the World Health Organization’s and local health departments’ standards for potable water. The SOLAR-1 includes a high-efficiency water purification unit and a quality solar power system, mounted in a lightweight, powder coated aluminum cabinet for ultimate robustness and durability. The SOLAR-1 is easy to use and virtually no installation is required. Simply mount the cabinet on a wall and the solar panels on the ground or on a roof, connect the inlet and outlet water hoses, and start enjoying safe drinking water from rivers, lakes, shallow wells, ponds, rainwater harvesting tanks, etc. The system has a built-in safety interlock that, in the unlikely event of a system malfunction, will automatically shut down the pump, and close the water outlet to prevent further use of the system. Like all WaterQuip products, the SOLAR-1 is a reliable, high-quality product with an expected service life of at least ten years under normal operating conditions. It has been specifically designed for use in remote rural areas with poor or lacking infrastructure. Its rugged aluminum cabinet and all internal components effectively withstands dusty and wet climatic conditions.
