Model SWP-S1E Stationary Solar Powered These units can be mounted to buildings, water tanks, trucks, boats, tanks, or any other vehicle that needs to provide safe, clean drinking water to personal anywhere it travels. The systems can be powered by solar panels, or from a 12-Volt DC power source such as a vehicle battery. Model SWP-S1E is solar powered and uses a self-priming pump to pull water from the available water source. Produces 1 gallon per minute, (up to 100 gallons per day) of clean, safe, purified drinking water. The system also provides two 12-Volt DC outlets, plus a low voltage Halogen light.
Stationary, wall mount systems are available in larger water production capabilities of 8, 15, 30, 45, and 60 gallons per minute. The larger production systems require their own, independent water pumping units. The pumps come in a variety of production volumes, and are available as non-submersible/surface mount, or submersible DC pumps. They have a pumping capacity of 100 to 15,000 gallons of per day from wells as deep as 500 feet. All these systems receive their electrical power by solar photovoltaic electrical producing panel arrays. The pumps are wired directly to the solar photovoltaic electrical producing panels, which eliminates the need for batteries. Increasing the size of the solar arrays increases the volume of water production. These systems have no moving parts, other than the pump, which mean very little if any required maintenance on the entire system. Large solar powered water purification systems can also be manufactured as portable, trailer mount, or stationary ground mount systems. They could produce up to 15,000 gallons of water per day for small villages and towns around the world. Trailer mounted systems could be easily transported into areas where large groups of people may be gathering, for planned events, rescue operations, or disaster relief.

The purification process starts with a sediment filter to clean the water and remove any suspended debris. The water is then sent through a 0.5 micron carbon block filter. This filter cartridge is an excellent water "polishing" filter. It is capable of removing Giardia Lamblia, Cyst, Cryptosporidium, bad taste, odors, color, chlorine, THMs (trihalalomethanes), certain VOCs (volatile organic compounds), pesticides and many other harmful chemical contaminates. The filtered, "polished" water is then channeled past a ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light kills bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases such as Typhoid Fever, Dysentery, Cholera, Infectious Jaundice, Hepatitis, Influenza, and Enteric Fever. This process can kill these and many other micro-organisms to a 99.9% kill rate. When this combination of filtration and UV disinfection is used together, clean, safe drinking water can be produced from unpotable water.
