Making Water Potable

Following the German technical standards for pre-filtering, sedimentation, withdrawal of water from just below the surface and allowing for the surface to be skimmed when an overflow condition exists, will assure you of the highest quality of water before the final steps are taken to make it potable. Numerous solutions are available. You must check for local regulations and treatment requirements, especially if you are creating a system that might be considered a public water system. Our preferred method is treatment with ultraviolet light, in some cases reverse osmosis may be needed in addition to the ultraviolet treatment. Rainfilters of Texas, LLC makes no representations concerning your system’s qualifications under local regulations. That responsibility falls solely upon the owner/installer.

Ultraviolet technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. Nothing is added to the water using this method, making this process simple, inexpensive and very low maintenance. Ultraviolet purifiers utilize germicidal lamps that are designed and calculated to produce a certain dosage of ultraviolet. The principle of design is based on a product of time and intensity – you must have both for a successful design.

Water Conservation

Nearly 97% of the world's water is saltwater or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is held in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just one percent for all of humanity's needs - agricultural, residential, manufacturing, and community needs.

At least 1 billion people must walk three hours or more to obtain drinking water. Nearly 2% of U.S. homes have no running water. (United States Geological Survey)
