Q. What kind of a water filtration “system” is a SkyHydrant?
SkyHydrant is a passive ultrafiltration solution engineered by SkyJuice for harsh, remote environments where access to clean safe water is restricted or doesn’t exist. The SkyJuice passive membrane system produces safe potable water without the direct need for power or chemicals, i.e., the process is gravity fed.
Q. How much safe water does one SkyHydrant provide?
SkyHydrant MAX produces 10,000 litres or more of clean water daily. The smaller SkyHydrant GEM version produces 5,000 litres of clean water daily.
Q. What kind of water source does a SkyHydrant require?
SkyHydrants treat most non-saline surface and ground waters using chemical-free filtration. It can be operated from groundwater (well or cistern) or surface water (lake or river) supplies and operate under gravity supply from dams, creeks, springs and waterholes to produce clean drinking water.
Please note that the SkyHydrant does not remove salts or TDS from water. Partners should always test the feedwater and verify that there are no harmful contaminants.
Q. Where have SkyHydrants been installed previously?
SkyHydrants have been installed in over 72 countries, and there are approximately 8,500 operational units globally. These SkyHydrants supply thousands of remote communities worldwide with cost-effective safe drinking water.
The systems are used by many major global NGO’s.
