How it works

Clean water that never runs dry — explained simply

No plans, no council approvals, no boreholes. Here is exactly how the water is stored, how it is cleaned, and what it takes to look after.

Never run dry

Store, switch over, refill

  1. 1. Store. A sealed, food-grade tank keeps days of your own water, out of the sun so nothing grows in it.
  2. 2. Switch over. When the street pressure drops, a valve changes to your tank in under two seconds and a pump holds normal pressure at every tap.
  3. 3. Refill. The moment municipal water returns, the tank fills itself again. You do nothing.
Always clean

Filter, kill germs, purify

  1. 1. Filter. Grit and carbon stages take out rust, sand, chlorine, lead and microplastics before the water reaches a tap.
  2. 2. Kill germs. A UV light removes 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, so tank water is safe to drink without boiling.
  3. 3. Purify for drinking. Add the under-sink reverse osmosis purifier and your kitchen tap gives pure, mineral-balanced water — better than bottled.
Keep it running

Charge, store, carry on

  1. 1. Charge. The battery fills from a normal plug between outages, or from a folding solar panel in 1.5 to 3 hours.
  2. 2. Store. Safe lithium cells, non-flammable and good for thousands of charges.
  3. 3. Carry on. When the power goes, your water pump, fridge, lights and Wi-Fi stay on. Nothing even flickers.

No paperwork

Nothing touches your electrical board, so no certificate and no council approval.

Tested and safe

Water meets the SANS 241 drinking standard; batteries are approved for SA use.

Add on later

Start with a tank, add the drinking water purifier or a battery when it suits you.
