From Contaminated Source to Safe Drinking Water
Our patented system takes water from any freshwater source—rivers, boreholes, dams, or reservoirs—and transforms it into clean, safe drinking water through a multi-stage process. No chemicals are used at any point.
The Process
Stage 1: Water Intake
Contaminated water is pumped from the source into the unit. The system can draw from rivers, boreholes, dams, or any accessible freshwater body.
Stage 2: Sediment & Carbon Filtration
Water passes through a series of filters, including a carbon filter, which removes suspended particles, sediment, and turbidity. This stage prepares the water for sterilisation by ensuring clarity and removing larger contaminants.
Stage 3: Toxic Metal Filtration (Optional)
For water sources contaminated with heavy metals such as arsenic or mercury, additional filtration modules can be installed to remove these toxins to safe levels.
Stage 4: patented Advanced Oxidation Sterilisation
This is the core of the Aqua-Cura system. Water flows through our patented sterilisation chamber, where it is exposed to targeted ultraviolet treatment that destroys and removes all bacteria, viruses, and organic matter. Unlike chemical treatment, this process leaves no residue, no taste, and no by-products.
Stage 5: Safe Water Output
Fully sterilised and filtered drinking water is dispensed at a rate of approximately 500 litres per hour—enough to supply up to 1 000 people daily.
Built-In Safety Controls
Every Aqua-Cura unit is electronically controlled to minimise human error. The system includes automatic shutoff if filters require replacement, solenoid monitoring to prevent startup with faulty components, and battery voltage protection on solar units to prevent damage. All operational data—including flow rate, total litres processed, battery voltage, and power consumption—can be requested and received via SMS, enabling remote monitoring from anywhere.
Independently Verified
Our results are not self-reported. The Aqua-Cura system has been tested and verified by WaterLab, a SANAS-accredited laboratory. The system meets all requirements of SANS 241, the South African National Standard for potable drinking water.
