The AQQA®bag is a water filter that can be used in emergency and crisis situations to remove turbidity, bacteria and pathogens from the water. It achieves a retention rate of 99.9999% for bacteria. In many areas of the world where people have no access to drinking water, bacteria (e.g. typhoid fever, cholera) and other water parasites (e.g. bilharzia) are an acute threat to health. The AQQA®bag is designed to significantly improve the hygienic quality of water in these cases.
In the event of a blackout (power failure), the water supply fails even in industrialized countries. In this case, the AQQA®bag can be used to supply clean water from wells, rainwater or other suitable water sources.
Water sources that can be used to fill the AQQA®bag are:
Water from rivers, ponds and lakes (excluding industrial effluents)
Groundwater, rainwater
unreliable municipal water supply
bore hole water
