Product Description
by Christopher Kinkaid (Author)
Sterilizing water is a big job. Solar electric (PV) powered UV water sterilizers are an effective way to sterilize your water from local polluted sources, even brackish water, with safety, reliability, and no fuel-costs. Water found in nature is full of pathogens which can cause disease and illness. Ultra-violet (UV) sterilizers kill 99.99% of all dangerous pathogens and renders your water potable, and safe to drink. The need for water treatment usually occurs far away from an electrical outlet. Remote sites and locations, as well as occasions of Natural or Man-Made disaster, often need water treatment onsite, but lack the equipment and power supply to power the water sterilizing equipment on location. Solar PV powered UV water sterilizer systems offer complete solutions for remote-site water treatment and sterilization. This Book focuses on UV water treatment from 4 Gallons per Minute to 43,000 Gallons per Day - all Solar Powered. Included are specific Solar Power Supply examples, with included Parts Lists, to power these UV water sterilizing systems at your remote and off-grid location.
