Water is pushed by the pump into the 4 stage filter where pollutants (virus, bacteria, heavy metals..) down to 0.0001 micron diametre are removed. The built-in ozonator ensures continuous compliance with WHO standards.

Plug and play installation: open the box, lift the PV panel, press the start button! Limited Mainenance: change the two input bayonet filters (spares included in the device) when clogged.

Multipurpose Innovation is easy-to-use equipment filtering bacteria, virus AND pollutants while providing energy for lighting and cell phone charging.
The design started in Sicily, is owned by a NGO and is based on a filter manfactured in India by a Silicon Valley Funded Partner.
