Product description
The ORISA® Hand-Pump Ultrafiltration Water Purifier is a revolutionary solution designed to address the critical need for clean water in rural and crisis-affected areas. This portable water purifier, produced and assembled in France, utilizes advanced hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membranes to effectively remove 99.999% of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, microplastics, and suspended particles from surface water.
Unlike traditional water purification systems, ORISA® operates without the need for electricity or chemicals, making it ideal for off-grid use. Its manual pump allows for immediate access to clean water at a rate of up to 3 liters per minute, ensuring that communities have a sustainable source of safe drinking water. With a membrane lifespan of around 20,000 liters, the system is designed for long-term use and minimal maintenance.
ORISA® is not only a high-performance water purifier but also a sustainable solution with a circular design. It features repairable parts, backward flushing capabilities, and replaceable membranes, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste. The system has been validated by the Pasteur Institute and is certified solar-impulse-efficient, further emphasizing its eco-friendly credentials.
In addition to its technical capabilities, ORISA® offers portable Nomad versions for outdoor use and packages with pre-treatment filters, ensuring versatility and adaptability to different environments. The collaboration with NGOs for deployment, technical backup support, and donations to humanitarian initiatives demonstrate Fonto de Vivo's commitment to social responsibility and global water equity.
Overall, ORISA® represents a significant advancement in responsible product innovation, combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable design principles to provide clean water, promote health, autonomy, and resource efficiency in underserved communities worldwide.
