1 filter = $50 = water for 100 people (filter life = 1 million gallons)

Waves For Water is mobilising an urgent clean water disaster relief initiative in response Hurricane Dorian, the strongest Atlantic hurricane to make landfall on record.

At this point, the full extent of the damage is unknown. The Category 5 storm, which smashed into northern Bahamas on September 1st, hit the islands with initial winds in excess of 185 mph and gusts up to 220 mph. Waves for Water fear the damage will be on par with or greater than any of the mega-disasters they’ve witnessed and responded to previously. To put things into perspective, Super-Storm Sandy had 90+ mph winds.

Their initial goal, as with any relief initiative they undertake, is to mitigate suffering by providing victims with access to safe water through the strategic implementation of water filtration systems, crucial in preventing the spread of waterborne illnesses. The goal is to get as many clean water filtration systems on the ground as possible. After their team on the ground establish local networks, with the aim of implementing long-term programs that can be managed and built-upon at the local level.

The funds raised through this program will go directly towards the implementation of water filtration systems, the construction or repair of bore-hole wells, and/or rainwater harvesting systems.

The filter: The MVP Filtration system is the fastest, easiest and most cost efficient way to get pure potable water to communities in need. The MVP Point ONE water filters contain a high number of tiny ‘U’ shaped hollow fiber micro-tubes that trap contaminants while allowing decontaminated water to freely pass through at a high flow rate — eliminating the need to store water and reducing the possibility of water contamination after the filtration process.

Create a point of use water filtration system in minutes by affixing the 0.1-micron filter to a plastic container. Fill up the bucket with water from a lake, stream, borehole, contaminated well and gravity does the rest. This fast-flowing system produces more than enough clean, safe water for a family’s daily drinking, cooking and cleaning needs. When it clogs or slows down simply backwash it with the included syringe.

The bucket system is essential for aid in natural disasters. This system eliminates the need to ship bottled water.

What It Removes: Bacteria which cause: Cholera, Botulism, Typhoid, Amoebic Dysentery, E. coli, Coliform Bacteria, Streptococcus, Salmonella. Protozoan (Cyst): Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora Exceeds EPA Requirements, with a removal rate of 99.99999%
