The technology used by Safe Water International Ministries to transform unsafe water into potable water is safe and effective. Our Chlorine Producing Units (CPU) use the process of electrolysis to create a concentrated chlorine solution. This solution is then added to unsafe water as a purifying agent. On a small scale, chlorine can quickly and safely be manufactured in even the remotest of areas with just 3 components:
- Water
- Salt
- Electricity
With a 12 volt battery to provide the electricity and a small amount of salt, enough chlorine solution can be produced to purify the water of a family or a small village. For example, a 5 gallon bucket of contaminated water requires only 2 Tablespoons of concentrated chlorine solution to be safe to drink. A 1500 gallon storage tank requires approximately 1 liter of solution.
Chlorine has been used in the United States for over 90 years to purify water from bacteria and parasites. The CPU manufactured by S.W.I.M. volunteers is a portable and affordable way to bring this life-saving technology anywhere in the world!
