to those that most need it – from Ocean side to Table tops…. Providing healthy CLEAN Drinking Water to those that most need it – from Ocean side to Table tops…. A South African Solution (based on international best practices and technology)
The Aquanaut® Solar Water Systems application is a system that can make clean water from any water source available on site (dirty, ocean/ salt, brackish, polluted etc) system is trimmed for optimum performance and can produce drinking water in any quantity from the needs of a single family to supplying water for large number of users or more. A works unit and the solar and/or wind collectors can be placed independently FULLY GREEN Technology - No CO2 emission, No Filters, No Noise, No Chemicals Long lifespan of 15 to 20 Years Minimal maintenance (SLA managed) Endless supply of clean drinking water

The various Aquanaut® applications FOR RURAL - Works is a modular system to provide 1,000 litres/day to 10,000 litres/day or even more. Aquanaut® can use energy from any power source solar/ wind/ electricity - but simple/cheap but simple solar collectors are preferred. HOME – a solution primarily for domestic use. Can be placed on (or in) a roof and the flow can be directed directly into the kitchen. A solar collector with a Aquanaut® unit integrated 1 m2 will give app 20-25 litres per day. MEDICAL - A solution for ultra clean water to be used in the healthcare sector. CEAN water for cleaning wounds, operations and technical ultra clean water needed for medicine efficacy are potential areas for usage. The solution is a standard Aquanaut® system for special post treatment systems to guarantee secure and sterile water supply.
Device and technology advantages Re-use of energy through numerous evaporation/convection stages • Complete separation of feed and distilled water – no cross over • No moving parts • All water movement is by gravity and one way – alternate can be implemented. • Unique dosing unit for every stage • Fool proof design for easy re siting • State of the art materials and IP technologies • Can be stacked horizontally with multiple units occupying very little area • Tolerates UV, heat, windy and harsh environment • Device materials with life time of 15 to 20+ years (feed water quality dependent).
Other advantages Local workforce • Low maintenance • Little training needed • Intuitively easy to understand Sustainability • 100% green technology – no noise, chemicals or CO2 Water quality • No feed water limitations (salt, minerals, toxins, temperature etc) • Neutral taste, top quality regenerated distilled water in line with WHO’s guidelines for drinking water quality • Little or no long term on scaling and fouling Durability and rigidity • Robust and will not break down and will cope with harsh local conditions – SLA will be available • Can be maintained with basic plumbing skill. Local products easily available
Water quality Aquanaut® is a distillation water system, so therefore the result is distilled water. Distilled water can be used without limitation for any usage - for drinking / technical / medical usage. Taste Aqua4life Holdings Pty Ltd has for the last 4 years used the most effective and most tested quality products in the world and has used this experience in creating the Aquanaut®. Fouling, scaling & bacteria The Aquanaut won’t allow any A, B, C or D of water contamination through the system. Extensive tests conducted by our IP partners has not shown any evidence of any bacteria or virus. But since scaling and fouling not is a short term issue but more a long term one. Migration of chemicals All components inside Aquanaut® which are in touch with the water, are made of the cleanest materials available on the market and are subject to food grade approvals in accordance with SABS, EU and US regulations. Salt, minerals & dissolved Solids Regardless of the content of dissolved solids in the feed water, the produced drinking water from Aquanaut® will not contain any waste. After the remineralization process the water is in line with the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality.
What does the regeneration system consist of? SPIRAL copper pipes MAGNETS ORGANIC and INORGANIC layers VOLCANIC ASH with QUARTZ CRYSTALS NO moving parts NO filters NO chemicals NO maintenance
What does the regenerator do? Chemistry Improves taste of water Alkalinises water De-chlorinates water Softens water – thereby helps to de-scale pipes, geysers as well as preventing scaling in the first place etc Removes heavy metals and toxins from water as well as your body Increases the oxygen content of water Microbiology Disinfects water Inhibits the growth of pathogens Increases growth of plants, grass, crops etc
Power technology – Solar (Intens Renewables) Providing sustainable Solar Power solutions to the South African Marketplace
Power technology – Wind (Transwind) The TransWind development is a complete solutions package with minimal follow-on costs owing to the fact that the entire unit is pre-assembled and delivered to site ready for installation and operation delivering a Plug & Play system for the end user. There are minimal construction, foundation and installation costs, which are normally not shown by manufacturers. Additionally, maintenance can be carried out by the end user the machine can be brought down to ground level within 15 minutes.
