Clean Water International has partnered with the Katadyn Group.
Their line of tactical products with the new HFD PS40 Land Warfare Universal Watermaker. This compact, portable unit is designed to support the water needs of military small operation teams, law enforcement/tactical rescue groups, and diplomatic security teams. The HFD operates with unprecedented energy efficiency using BB-2590 DC batteries, solar power, NATO vehicle power, or common battery voltages and can deliver purified drinking water from virtually any source, including fresh, brackish, or seawater.

General Information About Water Desalination
Less than 1% of the global fresh water supply is potable. Seawater and brackish water can be converted to drinkable water through reverse osmosis.
While osmosis is a naturally occurring process where solvent molecules spontaneously enter through a semi-permeable membrane into a higher solute concentrate, reverse osmosis purification requires an external force to occur.
Reverse osmosis desalination is a process that purifies seawater or contaminated and undrinkable water sources by forcing water through a membrane, against osmotic pressure, leaving contaminants behind. The result is water devoid of dissolved salts and harmful content.
The seawater membranes used in desalination systems remove salt, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and cysts, from the raw water. This produces fresh and potable water. Because of this, reverse osmosis is one of the most absolute purification processes, and is used by militaries, hospitals, and communities worldwide.

Membrane Filtration Spectrum
Village Water Supplies
Spectra Watermakers is committed to providing safe, potable water to remote villages. Our systems have been successfully used in many villages and supply up to 10,000 gallons per day (37,854 liters per day) of fresh water for drinking, cooking, and washing.
Many remote communities do not have access to clean water, or have a water souce that is many miles away. Often times even if a water project has been installed, there is no maintence performed and the systems becomes inoperative.
Our equipment is backed by our training, maintenance, and after-sales support. Our systems can be run from solar and wind power, giving communities independance and stability.
Emergency Preparedness
Taking steps to prepare for an emergency are important, and access to clean, potable water ranks as the most important resource for drinking, cooking, and washing. Storing water supplies like bottles or barrels for can take up space, be heavy to transport, and become contaminated over time. System’s like Spectra’s Aquifer Portable Desalination System come in durable suitcases so that can be easily transported in case of an emergency and can be making water in less than an hour.
Spectra Watermakers are energy-efficient reverse osmosis systems that remove harmful contaminants from water, making it safe and potable. Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective purification processes, and is used by militaries, hospitals, and communities worldwide. Our landbased systems range from 8-420 gallons per hour. Because our systems use a third of the energy compared to conventional systems, they can be run from a solar array, wind turbine, or battery bank.
Disaster Relief
After a disaster, water is the most important resource for relief and recovery. Our water purification technology ensures that contaminated water is potable, reducing salt and eliminating bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and cysts. Our systems use reverse osmosis membrane filtration to purify drinking water because it is recognized as the safest, most reliable filtration method, regardless of the contaminants in the water supply. These systems are a cost-efficient and sustainable alternative to shipping pallets of bottled water.
Spectra Watermakers has a range of self-contained and portable systems in durable pelican suitcases that produces 8-15 gallons per day that can be ready to make fresh water in an hour, delivering all the water a community may need after a disaster. These systems can be operated autonomously by solar panels, wind generators, or virtually any other available power source. With additional solar modules the system can provide excess energy to keep batteries charged, power refrigeration for emergency medical supplies, or keep laptops and communication systems online.
