The water storage in the closed bottom container ensures that water is not re-contaminated. Finally, if the filter needs replacement, the user can easily replace the candles.

Affordable We are committed to provide access to safe drinking water for everyone, including the Bottom and Base of the Pyramid (BoP). Our customers require affordable, but high value products. Our Tulip Table Top filter is designed in such a way that it combines state-of-the-art technology with high value materials, making it an ideal Self Supply solution.

Available However, having a simple and affordable water filter is not enough to provide a sustainable solution for everyone: the filter and its replacement component have to be available and accessible, also for the BoP. This means that a sustainable supply chain needs to be in place for our HWTS products which we realize through both our commercial and NGO network all over the world and by directly and indirectly training and guiding national, regional and community entrepreneurs.
