A testimonial from
the Philippines
“The water purifier, slow sand filter you gave me has
been a real blessing to many families here. Two of them, who both live
9 kilometers away, always come here to fetch drinking water. We have
also proven it to be more "pure" than the bottled water sold in the
market through a scientific laboratory test. They were actually
surprised
what kind of technology we have, that only eliminates pathogens but
retains the mineral in the water! Again thank you very very much for
it.”

"Under suitable
circumstances, slow sand filtration may be not only the
cheapest and simplest but also the most efficient method of water
treatment."
