Product description

The Winture (WaterKiosk) system is a revolutionary solution designed to address the critical issue of clean water access in remote and off-grid communities. By harnessing the power of solar energy, this desalination unit can effectively convert seawater, brackish water, or polluted sources into safe and hygienic water suitable for various purposes such as drinking, irrigation, fish farming, and sanitation.

Engineered to operate in harsh climates, the system is capable of removing up to 99% of total dissolved solids, bacteria, viruses, and contaminants, ensuring the production of high-quality water. What sets this system apart is its ability to deliver a significant volume of water ranging from 1,000 liters to tens of thousands of liters per hour, all without the need for batteries or diesel generators.

Installation and maintenance of the containerized units are hassle-free, with over 70% of routine servicing tasks manageable by local technicians using basic tools. Remote monitoring features guarantee system uptime and prompt issue resolution, enhancing operational efficiency and reliability.

The modular design of the Winture WaterKiosk allows for scalability based on community requirements, promoting sustainable livelihoods by facilitating low-cost water provision, boosting agricultural productivity, and creating employment opportunities. Moreover, the system's cost-effectiveness ensures that clean water remains economically accessible, even in impoverished regions, with production costs as low as €0.50 per 1,000 liters.

By offering a simple, affordable, and environmentally sustainable solution, the Winture WaterKiosk represents a transformative approach to ensuring climate-resilient water access on a global scale.
