Sun Sure Water

'The Waterward' will convert many types of contaminated water, including sea, bore, rain, grey or industrially polluted water into ‘Potable Healthy Drinking Water’.

 

How it Works

Plumb your dirty water source into the Waterward panel and as the water passes through a series of cascading trays, the sun shines through the glass into the water. The sun’s radiated heat rays are partially absorbed by the water and then more completely by the black specialist plastic panel of cells.

The heat is then conducted to the water which vaporises and condenses on the underside surface of the glass and then runs down into the purified water collection channel.

Working at an ambient temperature between 35°C and 40°C, the water within the Waterward is heated to more than 85°C. This pasteurizing effect partially kills bacteria and pathogens dramatically reducing the risk of water borne diseases. Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultra violet light simultaneously transmitted by the special glass cover completes the germ killing process.

 

Water Quality

Water output is purified to an extremely high level of 1-2 ppm (parts per million) of totally dissolved solids (TDS), which is much better than standards recommended by the World Health Organisation and much better than any available tap or mineral water. Operating Waterward Solar Water Purifier systems have produced results with sea water which was initially measured at 35,000 ppm, and the resultant output pure water was tested at 1-2 ppm (TDS). (Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in parts per million (ppm)). This value indicates the presence of inorganic chemicals such as carbonate, sulphate and chlorides, as well as metals such as sodium, calcium etc

The  Waterward solar water purifier has been tested under strict NATA laboratory conditions with Total Bacterial Count, E.coli and Coagulase positive Staphylococci at 37,000ppm. All tests resulted in a bacterial count of less than 20ppm which is well below recommended World Health Organisation Standards.
