The PureOFlow reverse osmosis (RO) system removes up to 98 percent of the substances found in water both natural -- such as hard water salts, and manmade contaminants. Unlike any other water purification system on the market, PureOFlow utilizes a special membrane technology through an exclusive licensing agreement with GE. As water passes through a PureOFlow system containing a series of membranes, particles as small as 1,000th the width of a human hair are eliminated along with any trace-amounts of contaminants in drinking water. This revolutionary technology is a new approach to water purification that delivers desalination and purification in one system, offering the most resourceful and cost-efficient water purification on the market.
Adds Cartwright, "There are three to five people living in a Mozambique household. Most of the community members are not working, and cannot afford their own supply system for cooking, washing, bathing, etc., so they are getting water from shared sources such as a school or church borehole, community well, etc. Even then, it is not always safe for drinking."
As cited in World Bank's Water Services and Institutional Support project, "the numbers for rural access are derived from the number of boreholes and an estimated average number of households using a borehole."
