OUTPOST A

7200 gallons / 26,640 liters per day

Filtration and Ultraviolet Light Disinfection
Portable 120 volt Powered Water Purification System for Emergency Relief Operations and Fresh Drinking Water in Remote Applications

Cleaner and Safer Drinking Water from most any from Raw Water Sources such as Rivers, Lakes, Water Tanks and Cisterns

 

Aqua Sun International manufactures the Outpost A Portable, Multi – Powered, Water Purification Systems for Remote Applications. This system has the capabilities of producing cleaner and safer drinking water from almost any creek, stream, pond, well, lake or most any fresh water source at a volume production rate of 12 gallons (44 liters) per minute where water purification is impractical or unattainable. This system can produce up to 12 gpm  (44 liters) using existing water pressure with a minimum of 20 lbs. Where water pressure does not exist, a portable water pump is supplied with flows up to 12 gpm (44 liters) maximum depending on hose lengths and head.

 

These Portable, Water Purification Systems pull the water from the source and through a Washable / Reusable Filter, and then a Sediment Pre-Filter. The water is then pushed through a 0.5 micron Carbon Block Polishing Filter that has the capabilities of reducing or removing Giardia and Cryptosporidium Cysts, Entamoeba and Toxoplasma Cysts, Schistosomiasis, Herbicides, Pesticides, Trihalomethanes (THMs), certain Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), Chlorine and By-Products, Sediment, Bad Taste, Odors, Color, Smell, and many other Harmful Chemicals and Contaminants down to a 0.5 micron. The polished filtered water is then channeled past an Ultraviolet Light Disinfecting Process that has the ability to kill Bacteria, Viruses, Typhoid Fever, Dysentery, Cholera, Infectious Jaundice, Hepatitis & Influenza Virus, E-coli, Coliform, Enteric Fever and many other unwanted microorganisms to a 99.999% purity.

 

 The above  filters can be substituted and changed out with Lead, Mercury,  Arsenic or Fluoride Reduction Filters to meet most any water quality problems.

Filtration Components:

WASHABLE / REUSABLE  Pre-FILTER

Removes river and lake water particles such as leaves, twigs, sediment and protects the sediment pre-filter from premature clogging. This filter is easily washed and cleaned when clogged.

APPROXIMATE FILTER LIFE EXPECTANCY depends on how dirty incoming water is or 1 year maximum.

 

SEDIMENT FILTER 

Removes ground water sediment and protects the carbon block filter from premature clogging. Not washable.

APPROXIMATE FILTER LIFE EXPECTANCY depends on how dirty incoming water is or 1 year maximum.

 

 0.5 micron CARBON BLOCK  

Removes and reduces giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium cysts, volatile organic chemicals "VOC's" pesticides and herbicides, benzene, sediment, color, bad taste and odors such as hydrogen sulfide "rotten egg smell" and many other microorganisms down to a 0.5 micron. This Carbon Block Filter polishes the water crystal clear for refreshing good tasting water.

APPROXIMATE FILTER LIFE EXPECTANCY 150,000 gallons / 555,000 liters or one year of clean incoming water maximum.

 

 ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTING LAMP 

Clean, safe and natural UV light rays have the ability to kill the bacteria and virus to 99.999 % purity without any harmful side effects much like chemical agents normally added to drinking water. The ultraviolet range is ideal for killing Micro-organisms such as E-coli, Coli form, Cholera, Legionnaires Disease, Hepatitis Virus, Typhoid Fever, Dysentery, Infectious Jaundice, Influenza, Enteric Fever and many other unwanted Microorganisms.

APPROXIMATE UV BULB LIFE EXPECTANCY 9000 hours, or approx 2 Years.

Subject:  Here is the story for the water purification unit donation to BOLIVIA

 Hi Greg,

Yes we did and it worked very well for the disaster response.  Just so you know, because of limited water purification resources in Bolivia, the OUTOST A is still serving as a small community water purification resource -- daily use.  You can see it by logging onto the clean water foundation's web site.  Leon McLaughlin is in the video with NBC Nightly News footage using your systems. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/28584446#28584446 

Your equipment is Impressive.  I was there and drank from your system.  No problems!

Thanks again. Blessings,

OUTPOST A equipment provides a point-of-use solution that takes source water and provides safer, cleaner water in quantities that can sustain many operations in health care facilities beyond just drinking water. While no equipment or system can reasonably be expected to satisfy for ANY disaster, this solution is a lot more comprehensive, easier, and cheaper than any other option. Based upon our research, we felt this solution was perfect for us.”
