Overview
The AquaStorage Refuel Recon system is an innovative portable water purification and storage solution designed for emergency preparedness, outdoor activities, and humanitarian aid. This compact system combines advanced filtration technology with modular storage capabilities to provide clean drinking water in various environments.
Key Features
Multi-Stage Filtration Technology
The R2 system employs a comprehensive four-stage filtration process:
- Sediment Pre-Filter: Removes particulates, silt, and visible contaminants
- Activated Carbon Layer: Eliminates chemicals, odors, and improves taste
- Ceramic Nano-Filter: Removes bacteria (99.9999%) and protozoa (99.99%)
- UV Purification Chamber: Optional solar-powered UV treatment for viral elimination
Modular Storage Design
- Expandable reservoir capacity (2L base unit, expandable to 10L)
- Interconnecting reservoirs for community or family use
- Reinforced food-grade and BPA-free materials
- Collapsible design for minimal storage footprint
Versatile Collection Methods
- Direct source collection (streams, lakes)
- Rainfall harvesting attachment
- Condensation collection system for humid environments
- Compatible with municipal water sources
Applications
Outdoor Recreation
The R2 system is ideal for hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable water solution that minimizes weight while maximizing safety. The base unit weighs only 14 ounces when empty and can process up to 1,500 liters before filter replacement.
Emergency Preparedness
For home emergency kits, the R2 provides essential water security during natural disasters or infrastructure failures. The system operates without electricity using gravity filtration, with an optional hand pump for accelerated processing.
Humanitarian Deployment
The R2 system has been designed with humanitarian aid in mind. Its modular nature allows for quick deployment in disaster zones, refugee camps, or areas experiencing water infrastructure damage. Multiple units can be connected to create community-scale water provisioning.
