Research Capabilities bebhinn.daly@rainsafewater.com Our New Concept We have developed and patented a technology to treat, store, monitor and distribute pressurised water to drinking water quality. It’s simple to use and has low running costs as it performs complex tasks under continuous Wi-Fi enabled supervision. Probes in the water tank measure water quality every 5 seconds. The point of entry system combines UV and Ozone treatment and pre and post filtration of the source water to deliver potable water. It also stores up to 230 litres of water which benefits from a refresh of ozone and so provides a ready back up supply of potable water for the end customer. Our research has shown that there is no equivalent alternative which combines filtration, UV, Ozone and storage of treated rainwater or other sources. www.rainsafewater.com
