AQUATABS Flo®
THE WORLD’S MOST TRUSTED WATER PURIFICATION TABLET
What is Aquatabs Flo®
Aquatabs Flo® is a new low-cost automatic water purification system. It brings the chemistry of Aquatabs from “point-of-use” so that your water is treated at the “point of entry”. A patented design, its simplicity works on the flow of the water with no power or maintenance required. Aquatabs Flo®, water disinfection system, kills microorganisms, like viruses and bacteria, in your water ensuring that Legionella is eliminated and biofilm remains under control. Aquatabs Flo purification system not only makes your water safer, but it will also continue to protect the water within your system. It can be used in new and retrofit situations and is very simple to install in most header/ground tanks for private, grouped water schemes, hospitals, medical centers, schools, wells, and rainwater harvesting systems. Connections will be available for hand-pumps and stand-pipes shortly.
Aquatabs Flo is USEPA approved for drinking water and has completed extensive trials in the most challenging conditions in Bangladesh.
A water purification system is required for point of entry systems where water is not treated at source e.g
- Attic and ground tanks
- Community water points
- Private wells & group water schemes
- Schools
- Hospitals
- Medical Centres
- Water Kiosks
- Standpipes
Benefits
• Suitable for home water tanks, community storage containers for shared water points. Well & borehole systems, schools, hospitals, medical centers, water kiosks, rainwater harvesting, etc…
• Dosing of integrated water units and systems at POC
• Continuous/automatic dosing on the flow of water at the point of entry into a tank or in-line for gravity / open and/or pressurized water systems.
• Objective: To make the water potable and/or to add some residual to keep the water safe.
• No power required
• 10 to 30 liters per minute
• Replace cartridge when empty
PVC Threaded and Glue Fittings
PVC(Polyvinyl chloride) fittings are used to connect sections of pipes or tubes, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and controlling the flow of water. There are two predominant types of PVC fittings namely PVC Glue Fittings and PVC Threaded Fittings. The difference between the two is that PVC Glue Fittings result in permanent joints and PVC Threaded Fittings are semi-permanent and can be replaced. PVC Glue fittings are joined with primer and cement- a chemical solvent that melts the surface of the PVC and then quickly re-hardens to fuse the pieces together. This results in an airtight, leak-proof bond similar to what you get with welding metal. An example of such a fitting is a PVC Glue Reducing Socket which is used to join together two pieces of PVC pipes with different diameters. Another example would be a 90 Degree Elbow which is used to connect two pipes of the same diameter at an angle of 90 degrees.PVC Threaded fittings utilise a simple threaded connection whereby replaceable 'male threaded' are screwed into 'female threaded'.Male threads have a thread on the outside of the fitting and female threads have a thread on the inside. When you thread the fitting in, it compresses against the other threads.PTFE tape is used to thread these together and the proper way to assemble threaded fittings is to finger tighten, then add one to two turns but no more. An example of a threaded fitting is a Reducing Nipple Male Threaded which is used to connect between two female threads of different diameters.
