Solving the World Water Crisis, 100 people at a time

Jan. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- In November 2012, a P3 BioSand Bag Filter started up at Amrit Sagar Eco-Park in Varanasi, India.  With stellar results in hand from a top flight USA testing lab and the first International installation up and running, the BioSand Bag Filter Company is proud to offer the P3 for use anywhere in the world!

The P3 BioSand Bag Filter is a lightweight, portable and highly effective community water treatment system for populations that lack clean water.  Filtration sand is added locally and the P3 provides a 24/7 stream of potable water sufficient for 100 people* to drink, cook and wash.  Proven** to remove an average of 99.999% of the viruses, bacteria & E Coli that bring disease, the P3 is ideal for use in the developing world.  "The UN reports that 14% of our planet's population is drinking dirty water that can make them sick.  With each P3 BioSand Bag Filter, 100 people can be healthy enough to go to work or school.  One hundred of our low cost systems could bring water health to 10,000 men, women and children at less than 2 cents per person per day", says Don Kerr, founder and President of the New Paltz, NY based company.  The P3 is designed to be gravity driven, so that no fuel or electricity is needed.  Replacement parts are commonly available anywhere in the world and maintenance consists of replacing the top six inches of sand twice a year.  Each system is guaranteed for 3 years.

Slow sand filters are the method preferred by United Nations and World Health Organizaiton for water treatment in poor and developing regions.   With the introduction of the P3 BioSand Bag Filter, it is now possible to deliver - in a box - a Do-It-Yourself slow sand comunity water treatment system for 100 people.
