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

 

Aqua Sun International has manufactured the Outpost S System since 1998. This Portable, Multi - Powered Water Purification System is for Remote Applications. The 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 maximum volume production rate of approximately 300 gallons / 1110 liters per hour where water purification is impractical or unattainable. The approximate daily water production from the Outpost S  relies on the 2 different electrical power sources, Solar / Battery or the Auxiliary 12 volt DC. This system can operate from a 120 volt AC or 220 volt 50 Hz Power Source using an extra piece of equipment.

 

This system is able to completely operate as a independent stand alone system without the need of an outside electrical power source. This portable water treatment system uses a solar electrical producing panel attached to the top of the frame and a 12 volt deep cycle battery where it can produce approximately 1,000 gallons (3,700 liters) maximum (in 3 – 4 hours depending on head)  of purified water per day as a standalone system with no help from any outside electrical power source. These water production amounts are based upon a fully charged solar / battery system.

 

This system has the capabilities of using an auxiliary power source such as 12 volt power from a vehicle or generator. During this operation the system can produce approximately 300 gallons / 1110 liters in 1 hour, or 600 + gallons / 2220 + liters in 2 hours, or for continuous water purification production  5 gallons / 18 liters per minute  for however long the power source supplies 12 volt electrical power to the system.

 

These Portable, Water Purification Systems pull the water from the source and through a Washable / Reusable Filter which removes large debrie such as leaves and alge and then can be washed out and re used. The water then goes through a Sediment Pre-Filter, this filter removes the sand and grit and protects the next filter from premature clogging.  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, entamoeba and toxoplasma 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.

Here are some things people have said about the Outpost Systems

NVOIP 833-5609

After all our tests, our main focus will be to provide these units to schools or small villages. We’ll be in contact with the DG of Water for each of the 3 provinces to see what areas are in desperate need of clean water. Our CA teams will then deliver, set up the units, and provide over 2 years of filter replacements for them. Each one of these units is capable of providing 3‐5 gallons of clean water per minute. The solar power will provide enough power for 2‐3 hrs of constant operation with 2 charges per day. That’s an output of approx. 1000+ gallons per day. Over the span of at least 2 years, these units will provide well over a total of 500,000 gallons of clean water. No longer will the Iraqis have to drink dirty water that could potentially be disease infested Also in certain places the Iraqis will no longer have to pay for water now that they can use this unit to pump from a well or river.

The people of Iraq will continue to be greatly appreciative of the efforts we put into improving their country.

 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,
Dean Salisbury

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.”
