Off-Road, Bush-wacking & Water Safety
Long-distance camping trips are relatively common these days in Africa. Unfortunately, one of the questions, the concern about the health risks associated with questionable sources of water. The technology is such that it has great potential, with the exception of heavy trucks, water supply, wherever you go.
Often water sources are very suspicious and they feel horrible stories about infectious diseases and water Bourne.If a country's "sophisticated" like South Africa can not even supply of quality drinking water for all its people then what chance travelers Africans were able to find elsewhere on the continent.
The problems can be expected
infection otherwise known as fecal E. coli provides common in some communities. A variety of other forms of bacteria, especially algae and blue-green algae is an indicator of THM or carcinogenic, naturally occurring fluorideArsenic and nitrate.
The bacteria is usually disinfected by exposure to one of three methods: the latter chlorine, ozone or UV is the latest technology, the compact almost enough to make their community features Safari.
Improved opportunities for clean water and healthy water. Pro and con
Right at the beginning of the selection now be delivered in line reverse osmosis, the purest form of water for travelers. Mobile systems consist of customUnits in a pocket, no longer specialized systems that are built in an aluminum case and deluxe accommodation in the form of a fit-osmosis plant in a metal box.
Engineered Systems - Bag / Component Type
It contains all elements of national unity, namely sediment filter, activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis with 200 gallons per day capacity, taste and odor filter and, where appropriate, UV / ozone. Ideally, you want to be a reference to works from the battery supply to the pump.These "backpack" units are sealed tubes with filters have a small space and not much space. The booster is to provide water output and has nothing to do with the pressure performance power.
An AC / DC converter must be purchased for the pump from a battery source disk. Nobody will tell you that you need the UV option for a reverse osmosis system! Why - and is easy to RO membrane keeps the bacteria before it is issued to a product waterLine, although the bacteria can damage the membrane in the process. First, while the membranes is simpler and cheaper than buying a UV system. Second, no single vendor provides a RO system that sources water from a system of bacteria disadvantaged. Not one! In addition to your never a guarantee in any case.
Reverse osmosis system, in a case of large, well designed, easy to store, but very difficult to bear. Messy, when I open the package takes away the pain every dayexpensive to run and high R7700 0.00
Jerry Can System-6 Stage Reverse Osmosis System Great idea has all the elements including UV more than one screen, the source of water are placed in a bucket and pumped directly to the tank is 2 liters, or inadequate in the tank truck. A disadvantage is that you do not fit a standard immobilization Jerry in Land Rover, etc. Yes, a little 'stupid that a strut. Oops - forgot - damn expensive R6370.00
So whatare the alternatives you may ask - really quite simple ...
Simple - Use Chlorox tablets to save from each bag, but does not kill only the error and does nothing for the rest of the impurities. The same applies to the boiling water - still looks and tastes unpleasant.
Most internships - Building a simple filter system, water is under pressure to release the bacteria is still small enough to fit in tight spaces. This system consists of a 2 bar pump, the modified 3Internship with the meter system, water filter parts and a UV light.
From your existing water tank, a T-line and divide to enter the filtration system and UV component. The 2 bar pump pressure forces the water into another T-fitting on-board water tank and taps for drinking water feed. The water in the reservoir is controlled by a simple mechanical float switch, flow, which in turn triggers a high-pressure switch closes and turns the pump. L 'final product is of the clan, great taste, the water free of bacteria.
Maintenance is cheap, costs and results are excellent. Contact me for personal assistance or further information on any of these systems.
