Elemental Water Makers launched a portable kit to desalinate sea water in emergency situations.

The Elemental Water Response kit is housed in a compact suitcase and can be connected to a battery or a solar panel.

Emergency response

The all-new compact Elemental Water Response kit is a portable water treatment solution to produce fresh water from almost any water source, such as lakes, rivers, ponds and the sea. 

It was developed with a philosophy of quality, reliability, and efficiency and is deployable within minutes for humanitarian purposes, emergency response, military, or any other temporary off-grid application.

This small-scale desalination unit is now available in two versions: the EWR30, which produces 30 liters/hour (7.9 gph), and the EWR50, which produces 50 liters/hour (13.2 gph) of fresh and safe water.

The units are not developed for long-term application, this compact desalination box can be installed in a matter of minutes to supply clean and reliable water to those who need it the most.

Solar add-on

Both units are powered by 12 V and, in case there is no grid power available, both units can be combined with the EWR PowerBox to generate fresh water using only the sun. 

As a solar add-on, EMW developed a strong suite case that includes a special Lithium battery, a charger that can accept all DC/AC standards to activate the recharging cycle of the battery, and a foldable solar panel that allows to charge the battery and power the watermaker units, directly from the sun. 

The EWR Powerbox is therefore supplementary to the EWR for off-grid applications.
