How does the technology work?

Solvatten makes unsafe water drinkable by using solar energy. Put Solvatten in a sunny place, give it 2-6 hours and the water will be drinkable! This can be done twice, sometimes three times a day, producing  20- 30 liters.

It is common knowledge that boiling can make water safe to drink. But it is not as widely known that UV light also kills micro-organisms. Solvatten is a specially designed container that uses heat, UV and a built-in filter to clean contaminated water. The patented Swedish invention Solvatten inactivates micro-organisms that cause diarrhoea and disease, producing water which meets the WHO’s Guidelines for Safe Water (<1 E-coli/100ml water).

Solvatten can treat water containing bacteria, viruses and parasites. Solvatten don’t use the aid of any chemicals or any energy-source except the sun. Treated with care you can expect approximately 5 years of trouble-free use.

Solvatten has an indicator that shows the user that the water treatment process is complete.
