AquaPak Solar Water Pasteurizer |
For many years the
only realistic Solar Water Purifiers
available were pretty large in size ...so us
Folk who live in smaller homes & RV's were
left out of the loop.
Were happy to say the new AquaPak Solar
Water Pasteurizer now makes it possible for
everyone to own one.
The AquaPak is very light-weight , but its
not some toy. It was designed for people
living in countries who have problems with
their drinking water ,and also for relief
workers to use as they lived & worked in
these countries.

So it's been run through some very serious
testing before being put into production.
This is a very smart thing to have stored
away in your house, Backpack or cars trunk
for those times you might need a source of
fresh drinking water.
We highly recommend this wonderful Water
Purifier
Pasteurization technology was invented by Louis
Pasteur in 1867, but to date efforts to develop a
small, extremely low cost, easy-to-use solar
pasteurizer have failed to yield a viable solution
for mass distribution. The AquaPak represents a
significant breakthrough in this technology. Made
from low cost polyethylene plastic (also used in
food preparation boiling bags) with UV inhibitors
added, and air-filled bubble pak sheeting
(originally developed for the packing industry), the
AquaPak can heat water to temperatures beyond 67
degrees Celsius, a temperature that will kill all
waterborne pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites)
using only sunlight. By maintaining this temperature
for specified time periods, the AquaPak kills a
variety of pathogens present in contaminated
drinking water. The edges of the plastic layers are
bonded using tapered seals so the AquaPak can pass a
10 foot drop test.
In tests conducted by BioVir Laboratories, San
Francisco, CA, on virus contaminated water and by
Environmental Engineering Laboratories, San Diego,
CA, on bacterial pathogens, the AquaPak eradicated
over 99.99% of the pathogens present.

The picture on the
left shows the ingenious solution AquaPak
came up with to let folks know when the
water has reached the right temperature to
start the
purification process.
The AquaPak employs a reusable sealed glass
tube indicator—called a WAPI—filled with
colored wax at one end that melts when
heated to the required temperature,
indicating the start of the pasteurization
process.

Depending on the availability of sunlight
throughout the day, an AquaPak can
produce up to 4 gallons of water per day,
enough safe drinking water for a family of
four
Capacity
: up to 4 Gallons
