Wow, that’s incredible. Since it uses electricity for it’s energy input, this could be readily adapted for use in remote areas powered by solar plus battery.

Wow, that’s incredible. Since it uses electricity for it’s energy input, this could be readily adapted for use in remote areas powered by solar plus battery. Even in Western nations this is a boon to treat well water sources instead of shock chlorination.
This combined with GAC filtration can produce very clean water anywhere you can get sunlight.
