Product Description

SunSpring Hybrid is a portable, solar and wind powered water purification system that utilizes UV to provide safe drinking water in regions without access to clean water services. Water is pumped, usually using a submersible pump, strained and filtered, and chlorinated all within the SunSpring. This water purification system aims to reduce incidences of water-borne diseases. Interview with representative
