Solar Powered Water Purification Systems
Setup of solar powered portable water filtration unit with solar tracking system and two stage RO & UF filtration process
GSWPS portable solar powered water purification systems save lives by producing
water that is 99.99% free of harmful bacteria, viruses, cysts and pollutants,
preventing water-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid. Our systems purify
contaminated water from surface sources or from wells, providing enough clean
drinking water for hundreds or for thousands of people.
- Does your water supply suffer from water borne disease?
- Does your water supply suffer from contamination by heavy
metals?
- Does your water supply suffer from high turbidity?
- Does your water supply suffer from bad taste?
- Is your water supply unreliable?
- Do you even have a water supply?
- Are you paying too much for your water?
The Solar Tracking Ultra Filtration System is a unique response to the need for
clean, fresh water in regions where healthy water is a precious and rare
commodity. This system utilizes state-of-the-art technologies innovatively
combined with ancient knowledge about solar movements and passive cooling to
provide a mobile, efficient and compact approach to water filtration for small
rural communities.
GSWPS systems can provide clean water on a permanent basis, or as a temporary
solution for disasters, emergencies, deployments or areas with no or
insufficient operating infrastructure.
The systems are powered by the sun and do not require fuel or a connection to an
electrical grid. The solar panels track the sun, automatically positioning the
unit’s panels for maximum efficiency.
If auxiliary power is desired (for 24-hour operation, for example), GSWPS
systems can be powered by a battery bank, a conventional generator, a wind
turbine or a grid tie-in.
Portable:
These trailer mounted systems are highly mobile and can be towed anywhere a
light truck can go. They can be set up quickly. They are simple to operate
and require very little maintenance.
Durable:
GSWPS machines are built for the most challenging conditions. They have proven
to be reliable in harsh climates like Iraq, where 327 GSWPS systems helped stop
and out break of cholera in 2009 and now provide safe, clean water for 600,000
citizens. The systems are made to last up to 20 years or more with proper
maintenance. This durability and reliability also distinguishes GSWPS systems
from others.
Our proprietary “straw” water intake pre-filters the water before it enters the
system, preventing fouling, a problem that plagues competitors’ systems.
Reverse Osmosis water filtration component
Filtration systems are custom designed for your local water conditions,
based on your local water quality analysis and available sunlight hours. They
can include different combinations of a pre-filter stage, mechanical filtration,
reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration, and ultraviolet light processing. Brackish water can be purified for drinking or for agricultural use.
GSWPS has filed a patent application for its high efficiency, high output, long
life, tracking Solar Direct Ultra Filtration System suitable for use with
rivers, wells, and other bodies of water.

This system uses the New Superflo Series™ Helical Rotor AC/DC high
efficiency, high pressure RO and high-pressure pump and Superflo™
pump controller (GSWPS and Sun Pumps patent pending). This new and unique series
of pumps saves 30-40% over standard high-pressure pumps and its design cools the
pump and controller while raising efficiency through certain design
enhancements.
This very important advancement reduces systems cost by reducing the solar PV
electrical power required for the system. This system also uses the Straw™
pre-filtration device that is a unique proprietary device (GSWPS patent pending)
that offers benefits such as extended pump life by up to 50% and increased
overall system efficiency by up to 35%.
The system also utilizes a unique pump bypass system (GSWPS patent pending), as
well as GSWPS designed ground protection and enhancement system (GSWPS patent
pending), for lightning and surge protection.
The unit has been proven to convert high turbidity (greater than 50 NTU) surface
feed water to clear, clean drinking water (less than 0.2 NTU).
