INEXPENSIVE FOURTH WORLD PRIMITIVE WATER CLEANSER WITH KEY PARTS TRANSPORTABLE IN SUITCASE SIZE PACKAGING

Abstract

This is a water cleansing system intended for very low technology primitive communities buildable for between $600 and $1,000 of parts with labor extra. A gravity feed system is contemplated with an initial filtering stage(s), a settling stage, a UV treatment stage, and an ozonator stage. Other filtering is useful and a stand-alone power system with solar power needing no infrastructure is contemplated to enhance purification. The objective is to improve water quality from the worst of conditions; and under some conditions to end up with clean water of a quality found in developed countries with mature water systems. The general principle is that if water had to be carried to the site in communities with low precipitation, the water brought in would be emptied into the initial stage of the water cleansing system, and the person who brought the water would draw from the last stage an equal amount or high percentage of the amount of water carried in. The system is fully scalable in size, but one key is that it can serve at a very inexpensive cost, a small group of people.
