SMS Ceramic Water Filters
Our business is the production and distribution of silver coated Ceramic water filters. Using our technologies accomplishes the following:
• A reduction of waterborne diseases in families that use the filter.
• Reduction in the use of fuel for boiling water and use of chemicals to treat water.
• Reduction in use of plastic bottles by creating a filter in every household.
• Use sawdust from the remains of carpenter shops (one of the inputs to producing the filter)
• 90% of the in-puts are locally available, clay, sawdust, receptacles. The filters reduce the cost of transportation, doctors’ fees and medication consumption by drinking healthy treated water. Beneficiaries will BETTER understand the importance of potable water in relation to the family's health cycle and will be able to clean and maintain their own filtering element. Ceramic filters are widely applicable in situations where the drinking water source is bacterially unsafe, which is often the case where people rely on surface water sources or open (hand dug) wells, rivers, piped water which could be contaminated.
