Advanced Purification Technology
Emergency Water Solutions systems use the identical proven technologies first developed by First Water Systems, LLC. The technology enables the EWS units to produce potable water from virtually any fresh water source. Utilizing onboard pumps or existing pressure, water is passed through multiple levels of filtration including:
-
Sediment filtration for removal of dirt and debris
-
Carbon Block filtration for removal of taste and odor
-
Virus Media filtration for removal of viruses, bacteria and cysts
-
Class "A" UV as redundant disinfection
Our proprietary virus filtration utilizes NASA-derived technology to achieve an unprecedented level of removal of microbiological contaminants. After the mechanical filtration process, the water is passed through an Ultraviolet Light Disinfection process. Exposure to the UV light effectively neutralizes any contaminants and provides a layer of redundancy to the filtration process.
Every water purification system we produce is independently certified to NSF protocols P231 and P248, which outline standards for microbiological water purifiers in the domestic and military market.
This unique technology is deployed on each Emergency Water purification system. Each unit is designed to fulfill a certain operational function. The filtration components are then scaled to fit the flow demand and chassis configuration.
