SolarPure UF

The SolarPure UF uses a 5-step water treatment process which is low-waste, with typically >90% net water recovery. It includes:

• Pre-filtration: 105-micron stainless steel screen.
• Ultrafiltration: 0.02-micon pores for removal of bacteria, viruses, and other waterborne diseases.
• Activated Carbon: 24kg of coconut-shell carbon contains 28,000,000 m2 of surface area. Effective at reducing taste and odor issues.
• Polishing Filter: 0.35-micron cartridge filter.
• Chloramine (at 1.0 ppm) is injected into the final water as a preservative.

Dimensions: 102 cm x 74 cm x 153 cm

Weight: 240 kg

Power Supply: use any 2 of the following:

• City Power (90-240VAC, 50/60Hz)

• Generator (90-240VAC, 50/60Hz, 1000W)

• Solar Panels (48-300VDC) Recommendation: 500-1000W of panels

• Batteries (48V array) Recommendation: Four 12V 100AH batteries

If any power source is reliable and continuously available, an additional power supply may not be needed.

Water Supply

• Any fresh water supply (not salt water)

• Must be tested for chemical contamination

• Should be stored in a holding tank.

Materials Used

• Frame: Stainless steel

• Hardware: Stainless steel and galvanized steel

• Plumbing: Stainless steel, brass, and plastic

• Filter Housings: Plastic and Structural Poly Glass™

• Valves: Stainless steel with PTFE seats

• Pump internals: Stainless steel

Additional built-in functionality:

• Internal clean: sanitizing the filters and plumbing with panel-mounted ball valves (sanitizes with 200ppm chlorine, followed by a clean water flush)

• Backwash: cleaning the membrane by simply turning one panel-mounted ball valve (the backwash is designed to be at a higher pressure than forward flow)

• Bottle-wash: sanitizing the inside of bottles with panel-mounted ball valves (sanitizes with 200ppm chlorine, followed by clean water rinse).

• Diagnostics: Simple diagnostics of clogged filters with 5 panel-mounted pressure gauges

The manufacturers offer a 1 year warrenty. Typical life cycle of 10-20 years, but could be much longer with proper maintenance. Equipment frame and most plumbing/valves are stainless steel. Regarding disposal, filtration media is non-hazardous, stainless steel is a recyclable commodity, and electronic components should be properly recycled. ^{Interview with representative}

During design phase, 3rd-party performance testing performed by Dr. Nathan Hancock, Colorado School of Mines. ^{Interview with representative}
