Model PWP-C
Solar / Battery or 12-Volt DC Powered
Water Purification System for Remote Applications
Aqua Sun manufactures the PWP-C Portable, Solar Battery / 12-volt 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 1 gallon (3.7 liters) per minute where water purification and electrical power are impractical or unattainable. The daily water production from the solar battery mode is up to 100+ gallons (370+ liters) per day. For continuous water purification production a 15 ft long 12-volt electrical power cord is provided with a cigarette lighter plug and battery jumper cable clips that can be plugged into any car, truck, boat, plane, generator or any 12-volt electrical power supply source. When the system is operating under the auxiliary power (12-volt) mode, it is constantly re-charging the system's battery. This System does not require any outside electrical power; nor is there a need for chemical additives. Water volume flow rates can be increased by using a specially designed manifold which allows 5 systems to be connected together to increase water volume production amounts to 5 gallons (18 liters) per minute or greater.
| These Portable, Solar Battery / 12-volt Powered Water Purification Systems pull the water from the source and through a 5.0 micron Sediment Pre-Filter. The water is then pushed through a Carbon Block Polishing Filter that has the capabilities of removing Giardia and Cryptosporidium Cysts, Herbicides, Pesticides, Trihalomethanes (THMs), certain Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), Chlorine and Chlorine 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, Coliform, Dysentery, Cholera, Infectious Jaundice, Hepatitis and Influenza Virus, E-coli, Enteric Fever and many other unwanted microorganisms to a 99.999% purity. |
PWP-C uses a dual power source:
- Solar Power is generated by a marine grade, photovoltaic solar panel that can be attached to the lid of the case for charging purposes or stored inside for traveling and shipping. The solar panel needs 4 to 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day to maintain the system's battery, which powers the self-priming pump and ultraviolet disinfecting light. A 60 minute timer is used to turn ON the system and gauge or adjust total output flow. 1 gallon (3.7 liters) per minute, 60 gallons (222 liters) per hour. The Timer turns the system Off when done and prevents excessive draining of the battery.
- 12-Volt DC Auxcelery Power can be obtained from the 15 ft long extension cord which has a cigarette lighter plug and battery jumper cable connectors are provided for a direct connection to most power sources. It can receive its 12 volt power from many sources, such as a vehicle battery or DC generator. When operating under DC power, the system can produce purified drinking water at 1 gallon (3.7 liters) per minute and 60 gallons (222 liters) per hour for how ever long the auxcelery power source last.
The system is housed in a durable, space age, lightweight structural molded resin carrying case. It is water and air tight for maximum protection of the internal parts. This briefcase style case meets and exceeds the highest standards for industrial, airline, military and commercial applications. It is portable enough to be carried anywhere in the world. It is approved for air shipments inside and outside the continental United States.
