Additional Information
How it works technically
The core of the WaterBox is a UV lamp in a RVS tube. When the UV lamp is on, the contaminated water is routed through this RVS tube in which UV rays are abundantly present. The rays effectively kill 99,9 % of all the bacteria and viruses present. After the UV treatment the water is safe for consumption. The energy needed to power the UV lamp is obtained from a solar panel. A small battery is added to make sure that the Box operates even when no sunlight is available.
