"AQUAPAK"
The AquaPak Solar Water Pasteurizer is an effective pathogen eradication technology providing an efficient and economical solution to those without potable water
The AquaPak is a portable device that uses thermal energy from the sun to kill human waterborne pathogens. One AquaPak can hold 5 liters, enough for one individual to have a day’s worth of water. It is designed to heat the water to temperatures above 65°C, a temperature that when reached, eliminates all bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. The AquaPak comes with a water pasteurization indicator or 'WAPI'. Inside the WAPI is a colored wax that will melt when it reaches 65°C, indicating that the water is safe for consumption. The WAPI is located in the center of the AquaPak cap and can be viewed when the cap is sealed.

How the "WAPI" works:
The WAPI contains an orange color wax inside the glass indicator. When the AquaPak is filled with water and set in the sunlight the wax will melt at 65 degrees Celsius. Once the wax completely melts, the WAPI glass indicator goes from orange to clear. The water is pasteurized, cleaned from Pathogens’ and is safe for drinking.

Message from Fr. Xene Sanchez Alinsug in the Congo
The Innovation Institute at Henry Ford II proudly donated AquaPak’s to the World Health Student Organization (WHSO) of Wayne State University School of Medicine (WSU-SOM). When WHSO went on their medical mission trip to Ecuador in March of 2012, they documented the great impact the Innovation Institute's gift made on the people in the village of Agua Blanca.

Poison In The Water: A World Water Crisis
The World Health Organization estimates that over a billion people lack access to purified drinking water and the vast majority of these people are living in rural areas where the low population density and remote locations make it very difficult to install the traditional clean water solutions.
Over 5,000 children die every day from drinking contaminated water. Eighty percent of all illnesses in the developing world result from waterborne disease.
The greatest tragedy is that these deaths can be prevented. Solar water purification uses no fuel or energy resources and creates no pollution.
See Worldwide Water Statistics with reference to the total population of each country and the number of people affected without access to safe drinking water. Of the 221 countries listed, Solar Solutions has provided AquaPak's to 57 of those countries.
