Aqua Sun and Rotary International Team Up to Help Mayan Village
Haitian School Children Helped by Aqua Sun Water Purifier
Poland during the massive flooding supplied by Catholic Relief Services in 1997.
Hurricane Hugo in Central America where Missionaries and Relief Services took our systems to help the local population in 1998.
The 2005 Tsunami in Indonesia where the UN and UNICEF, the Red Cross, Missionaries and Relief Services used our many different systems in most locations damaged. After the Tsunami Rotary International rebuild 30 schools using our SWP-S3 System to supply drinking water to the kids as well as containers of water to take back home after each day at school.
Hurricane Katrina with more relief workers and church groups.
Flooding in Bolivia in the spring of 2007 with our systems going in with World Vision.

Aqua Sun solar powered portable water purification systems allow you to get clean drinking water from most any creek, stream, pond, well, lake or other fresh water source.
Ford Chemical
Analysis
March 13, 1990
AQUA SUN INC. PURA WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM, TEST RESULTS
- PROTOCOL
- Test was conducted under the direction of Ford Chemical (an epa approved lab in Salt Lake City, Utah ) and samples were sent to Ford Chemicals for analysis. Equipment was sterilized before each test run as recommended by Ford. The water was prepared by drawing water from stagnant ponds in horse pastures and then incubated for 24 or more hours. The goal was to challenge the equipment with unknown bacteria rather than strictly with E coli which is killed with a lower uv dosage than most bacteria require. The challenge water most likely contained with a wide variety of micro-organisms and would be more representative of real life conditions. All analysis was done using standard plate counts (SPC) which will reveal any living micro-organisms.
The samples were sent to Ford in care of the Utah County Health Department to ensure proper handling procedures. All sample bottles were numbered with conditions of each numbered sample recorded. Ford Chemical then returned the results of each numbered sample. The data below represents the results found by Ford and the conditions under which each sample was drawn.
Standard Plate Counts that were less than 1 are shown as 0.001 in the data below.
Bacteriological Analyses Results
SAMPLE ID: Single unit (UF/20 l) with dip tube insert.
CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS
The unit was tested at flow rates (outlet) of 5 gallons/minute, 8 gallons/minute and 10 gallons/minute using water drawn from a pond in a horse pasture. The unit was sterilized with chlorine between each run to avoid carry-over contamination.
- Test Model UVB1 GC: Rated Flow: 1
- Bacteria count input: 4800O SPC Date of Test 12/15/88
- Actual Flow: 1 GPM Count Out 0.001 Percent Kill 99.9999
- Actual Flow: 2 GPM Count Out 27.00 Percent Kill 99.9437
- Actual Flow: 3 GPM Count Out 34.00 Percent Kill 99.9291
- Test Model: UVCCL1 CBC-10: Rated Flow: 2
- Bacteria count input: 48000 SPC Date of Test 12/15/84
- Actual Flow: 1 GPM Count Out O.001 Percent Kill 99.9999
- Actual Flow: 2 GPM Count Out O.001 Percent Kill 99.9999
- Actual Flow: 3 GPM Count Out 0.001 Percent Kill 99.9999
- Run B - 8 gallon /minute: Reduction Percent = 99.989
- Original Count = 19,000
- Actual Count = 2
- Run C - 10 gallon /minute: Reduction Percent = 99.989
- Original Count = 19,000
- Actual Count = 2
Note: Several improvements have been made on the models since these tests were run that improve the UV intensity and will therefore increase the kill rate.
I verify that the above information is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
