AQUAJAL Water Purifiers

Pure Drinking Water for Everyone

From A. Healthy Water Company™

Market Need

Access to healthy water is a significant problem today because existing purifiers are too expensive, potentially harmful, or unavailable to people who need them.

The answer to today’s potable water problems is a technologically proven, cost effective, accessible, and scalable solution that doesn’t need power to function.

A. Healthy Water Company™

Pure Drinking Water for Everyone

Our company owns proprietary technology that kills, and prevents the reproduction of, 100% of all waterborne pathogens from any freshwater source. It also removes odor and iron and reduces hardness. We’ve used this technology to design cost effective products at the household and community level to achieve our aim

of democratizing healthy water.

AQUAJAL Technology & Products

AQUAJAL purification is done through a combination of large particle filters and a patented nanotechnology application of medicines on fabric to kill, and prevent reproduction of, 100% of all waterborne pathogens. The large particle filters remove odor and sediment and impede flow to ensure that all water particles come in

contact with the treated fabric. The fabric is coated with antibiotics, nano-silver particles, and anti-fungals which together form a colorless, odorless, positively charged barrier on its surface.

We designed the AQUAJAL Household and Community Water Purifiers as a solution to all the problems existing purifiers present in urban and rural communities.

If 100M people use energy to purify water@ 3 lts / day/person, energy consumption is equivalent of 10,000 MW of power/day

Most filters prevent particles of 15 microns but the typical bacteria range is from 2 -18 microns

Most municipal water is already chemically treated. Leaching technologies double-dose the water

If 100,000 households use RO, the systems would provide 2.1 M lts of water/day for drinking and waste 4.2 M lts /day or 1500 M lts /year

AQUAJAL Household Water Purifier

The AQUAJAL Household Purifier can purify 6 liters of water twice a day.

It’s a lightweight and easy-to-use option that is ideal for rural and urban homes, refugee camps, disaster management sites, remote communities and anywhere else where people need access to healthy water at a very low price.

The multiple layers of medicinally treated fabric in the input and output containers

minimize the risk of contamination.

The purifier requires no company servicing and the purification technology has a lifespan of one full year.

AQUAJAL Community Water Purifier Range

The AQUAJAL Community Purifier Range has models with the capacity to purify

anywhere from 100 liters twice a day to thousands of liters twice a day.

All the community models are designed to work with the gravitational flow of water so that they can be deployed in areas without power. A.HWCo. is

currently working on developing an option for a model with a pump to increase flow rate.

The primary purification mechanism in all the community units is the AQUAJAL Coated Filter, which is a

combination of large particle filters and medicinally treated fabric that kills 100% of waterborne pathogens. The capacity of the purifier determines the number of Coated Filters required.

Optimal Infrastructure

The optimal infrastructure for the large scale community products includes an existing fresh or municipal water source and a holding tank between the source and the input water container to control flow rate and remove large sediment. Water feed to the input container should be through gravity, a water pump or

manual feed. An existing point of contact whom A.HWCo. can train to install and maintain the unit will be optimal.

8

Within this infrastructure, A.HWCo. will supply the AQUAJAL Coated Filters as well as loose AQUAJAL

Coated Fabric to line input pipes and hang in the output container.

Materials for assembly, water storage and plumbing will need to be locally sourced by the buyer.

80% of our blood is made up of water

yet

One in Five people don’t have access to clean water5

as a result,

One child dies from water related disease every 15 seconds which adds to the

US $300 Billion a year spend on healthcare for waterborne diseases.6

94% of diarrheal cases are preventable by offering healthy water7

but

84% of people without improved drinking water live in rural areas8 which means

Existing technologies are inaccessible or too risky to address their needs

AQUAJAL offers an answer to today’s potable water problems as a technologically proven, cost effective, accessible, and scalable solution that doesn’t need power to

function.
