The Purifaaya ceramic household water filter is a gravity-fed filtration system designed for everyday use in East African homes. It removes bacteria, pathogens, and sediment using locally sourced clay and ceramic materials—without chemicals or electricity. The filter operates by allowing water to pass through a porous ceramic clay matrix, leaving contaminants behind, and producing clear, safe drinking water. It requires minimal maintenance and can last up to five years.

A larger institutional version, the Purifaaya XL, serves schools, clinics, and offices with elevated capacity. The Viva Purifaaya targets urban households and small offices. All models eliminate the need for boiling water using firewood or charcoal, reducing indoor air pollution and deforestation. The design is rugged, simple to use, and affordable—priced to meet the needs of lower-income households. By producing and distributing the filter locally, SPOUTS supports community employment, promotes behavior change, and fosters long-term water access solutions rooted in sustainability.
