The Tulip Gravity-Fed Household Water Filter is a revolutionary solution designed to provide clean drinking water in areas lacking reliable electricity or infrastructure. This low-cost filtration system utilizes ceramic, silver-impregnated media to effectively remove bacteria and protozoa, ensuring safe and potable water for households, schools, medical clinics, and communities at the base of the pyramid (BoP).

Unlike traditional water filters that require electricity or complex infrastructure, the Tulip filter operates on gravity, making it ideal for rural settings where access to power is limited. Its simple yet durable design eliminates the need for pumps or external power sources, offering a sustainable and long-lasting solution for water purification.

The Tulip filter has a high capacity, treating thousands of liters of water before requiring replacement. By providing clean water without the need for boiling, it contributes to significant CO₂ reductions, promoting environmental sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

This innovative filtration system can be distributed through local micro-retailers or implemented through rent-to-own microfinance models, empowering communities to own and maintain their water filtration systems as sustainable livelihood tools.

With over 3 million people benefiting from clean water through Tulip filters across 25 countries, this solution has proven its effectiveness in improving health outcomes and supporting rural development. Additionally, the integration of solar-powered submersible pumps enhances water supply and irrigation capabilities in off-grid areas, further enhancing the impact of the Tulip filter system.
