If maintained well, each Solvatten unit will provide a household with ready access to safe and warm water for at least five years.

Solvatten, which was named as a WWF Climate Solver in 2009, can be of great help. Solvatten is a solar-powered water purification device with the potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 26 million tons per year by 2020.

The technology harnesses heat and ultra-violet radiation from the sun to produce water that meets the WHO Guidelines for Safe Water ((E.colie <1/100ml)).
