Tulip Water Filter
Basic Water Needs
Solution Overview & Benefits
The Tulip Table Top water filter is a convenient two-bucket filter and water storage system in one. It uses gravity filtration, so no external power is needed. The top bucket holds the raw water, which passes through the Tulip filter and becomes safe to drink in the lower bucket. The water stored there remains safe for an extended period. Cleaning is simple with the provided scrub pad. A Tulip Table Top water filter can purify up to 7,000 liters of water, depending on its initial clarity, after which you can easily replace the filter.
Frequently, only the candle filter is imported, while the containers are locally sourced before assembly and distribution. This approach in Table Top production not only ensures cost-effectiveness (less voluminous logistics) but also promotes decent local employment opportunities and contributes to economic growth.
The filter is specifically designed to meticulously strain bacteria and protozoa (like parasites) from the water, ensuring the delivery of biologically safe drinking water. Notably, it doesn’t filter fully dissolved substances (TDS), including vital minerals that are beneficial.
Advantage:
- Good tasting and clear water.
- A candle lasts about 7,000 liters or 12-24 months;
- 99.9% removal of bacteria and protozoa because of the high quality of the materials used for the filter elements;
- No recontamination. The filter elements leach out 4 to 8 ppb nano silver to avoid recontamination of filtered water;
- Faster flow because of the smart fast flow hose (increases flow up to 50%);
- Easy filter replacement. An “end-of-life indicator” is included, so users know when to replace the filter elements;
- Lightweight and efficient packaging (50 units of the candle filter in a master box) saving on logistical costs
History & Development
