Even if that's not true, an emergency portable watermaker is still incredibly useful. Designed for tough situations, these systems help people survive when clean water is hard to find. We'll answer all your questions about emergency portable watermakers and show you how to use one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Emergency Portable RO System<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: This system is an instant fix for clean water. It uses a <\/span><<span style=\"font-weight: Reverse Osmosis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: purification method, giving you 99% contaminant-free drinking water. When AMPAC USA builds these systems, we think about the harsh, resource-poor conditions you might face. Storing water used to be an option, but it only lasts so long and can go bad. An RO system like this is a lifesaver when you're in an urgent spot with no quick access to safe drinking water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Where Can It Be Used?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: You can use this system in many different situations. Natural disasters, for example, strike anywhere, anytime. Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, and cyclones can force people from their homes. Losing property becomes secondary when lives are at risk due to broken water systems. Any disaster can contaminate water or cut off the supply. That's where an <\/span><<span style=\"font-weight: Emergency Portable Watermaker<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: steps in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: Relief camps helping disaster survivors often struggle to provide drinking water and food. It's a noble effort, but sometimes shipments get delayed, and people can go hungry or get sick without water. In these cases, you need water not just for drinking, but for hygiene and sanitation too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: Another great place for this system is on military missions and in drought-stricken areas. It's especially handy on boats, and for onshore or offshore work where seawater is easy to get. Since it's portable, it's perfect when seawater is your only source. That's why we designed this system for maximum results with minimal effort. It's affordable, easy to handle, and even easier to use. Here's how!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How To Use One?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: For bigger mobile treatment systems, experts usually manage them to keep water flowing. These have larger capacities than the basic 150 GPD per day system, which you can supervise yourself. The 150 GPD or 600 LPD <\/span><<span style=\"font-weight: Emergency Portable Seawater Desalination System<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: comes with these main parts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n \\\t<\/p>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: A five-micron sediment pre-filter to catch silt, sand, rust, and other particles.<\/span><\/li>\n<p> \\\t<\/p>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: A heavy-duty carbon block filter, also five-micron, for lead and chemical reduction.<\/span><\/li>\n<p> \\\t<\/p>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: FILMTEC elements in the RO process for top efficiency.<\/span><\/li>\n<p> \\\t<\/p>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: An extruded carbon filter to get rid of bad smells and lead.<\/span><\/li>\n<p> \\\t<\/p>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: Ultraviolet filtration to kill any microorganisms that might have slipped past the membrane.<\/span><\/li>\n<p> \\\t<\/p>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: A pH filter to bring the water's balance back to 7.0.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: Using the system is super simple thanks to its efficient build. The whole thing comes in a portable, heavy-duty box. The switches for feed water and the RO process are on the outside, so you can operate it easily. It has pipes to pull in seawater and another pipe to deliver fresh water. Plus, there's a cable you can connect to AC or DC power, whatever works best for your custom setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: Once you put the feed pipe into the seawater, just flip on the feed water switch. The system starts taking in water to filter. After a moment, hit the RO process button. The water then goes through a thorough process: pre-filtration with carbon, the RO process itself, post-carbon filtration, a UV filter, and a pH filter. This removes sediments, dust, sand, silt, chemicals like chlorine, PFOS, pesticides, elements like lead, magnesium, iron, copper, microorganisms, disease-causing bacteria, and other contaminants. What you get is pure, clean, quality freshwater you can use for anything. The system even comes with solar panels in case you don't have reliable electricity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: The container is built to cut down on noise when <\/span><<span style=\"font-weight: Seawater Desalination<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: is running. As we said, using this system is just a matter of flipping two switches. AMPAC designed it so you spend less time operating it and get quality drinking water with very little hands-on work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: Want to learn more about running an emergency portable system? <\/span><<span style=\"font-weight: Watch this video<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: or contact AMPAC USA to get an expert to help you out!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Related reading: <USA\u2019s Emergency Portable Reverse Osmosis System Helps the US Army, <AMPAC USA Supports Emergency and Disaster Relief with Portable Water Units, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/tracking-reduction-of-water-lead-levels-in-two-homes-during-the-flint-federal-emergency\/\">Tracking reduction of water lead levels in two homes during the Flint Federal Emergency.<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 150 GPD or 600 LPD Emergency Portable Seawater Desalination System is made up of the following major components.
