The water is first pumped from the
borehole through a filter. A control
valve then directs the water into
an optional non-corrosive hydro-pneumatic
pressure tank, or to an elevated tank
in the village and on directly to
clinics, schools, housing, crops,
drinking fountains, showers, etc.
An automatic chemical feeder is optional
to disinfect the water using a common
household bleach solution. Also optional,
is special filtration down to 1 micron
to remove pathogens such as Giardia
and Cryptosporidium.
Combining these
treatment options ensures a consistently
safe potable water supply. The SolarPedalflo
Community Water Supply System is able
to deliver treated potable water to
virtually any location or doorstep
in a rural community on a continuous
basis.
