THE TECHNOLOGY
The filtering element is made from porous clay that, once fired, permits water to pass through but not the dirt and the harmful bacteria. The ceramic filtering element is also treated with colloidal silver, a bacterio-static ingredient that acts like a magnet on the bacteria, removing them from the water. The filter has the capacity to meet the daily drinking water needs of a family of 6 people; it filters water at the rate of 3 to 5 litres per hour.
COMPARISON
It is low cost. Water sold in sachets costs GHC0.05/Ltr (about $0.03 in Ghana. With water from CT Filtron, a trusted source of safe drinking water can become 60 times cheaper. To be most effective the use of the filter should go hand in hand with good hygienic behaviour of the whole family; lack of hygienic behaviour may undo the positive effects of the filter. For example a dirty cup or bottle will contaminate the just filtered water.
