Ever wonder how you can obtain clean water within a few minutes?

Gaining access to clean water has always been the biggest pain point in a rural village. 

After experiencing that first hand, we have been committed to engineering the simplest and most portable solution to end rural thirst.

After our previous post on how the ROAMfilter™ Plus can be rapidly deployed for disasters, let's find out how the system can be set up and operated rapidly. 
​
There are 3 stages to obtain clean water using the ROAMfilter™ Plus.
  1. Set up 
  2. Priming 
  3. Operation 

Before we start, check to ensure you have the following items prepared. These items will be included in the carton box.

1. ROAMfilter™ Plus
2. 4.5m Rubber Hose
3. 0.5m Rubber Hose
4. Accessory Pack (Includes the Drain Valve, Permeate Tap and Male Connector)

Set up
Now, we will guide you through how to set up the ROAMfilter™ Plus. It is a straightforward process so let me break it down for you!
  1. Attach the Male Connector to the bottom compartment
  2. Attach the Front Tap to the Permeate Connector 
  3. Attach the Drain Valve to the top compartment
  4. Connect the 4.5m hose to the Male connector at the bottom compartment
  5. Insert the other end of the 4.5m hose to the surface water source
  6. ​Connect the 0.5m hose to the Drain Valve

And in 6 simple steps, the ROAMfilter™ Plus is all set-up.

​Done? Let's move on to Priming now!
Priming
Priming is an essential procedure to remove any presence of air in the system. This step ensures the ROAMfilter™ Plus pumping action is smooth and allow the system to filter water properly. 
  1. Close the Front Tap.
  2. Open the Drain Valve (Do not drink water from here!).
  3. Unscrew the piston handle and pump the System around 10-15 times (observe the water coming out from the Drain Valve!).
  4. After ensure there are no bubbles in the water coming out, close the Drain valve.

Operation
Now that the system is primed and ready, it's time to purify the water!
  1. Open the Front Tap. Ensure the Drain Valve is closed.
  2. Position the system between your feet, with the Front Tap facing away from you.
  3. Step firmly on the foot stand.
  4. Pull the Piston handle all the way up and push it down slowly to filter the water.
  5. Repeat the pumping process till the desired amount of water is obtained.
  6. Enjoy the clean water that is produced!

Do note the following during the operation process
  • Do not pump the system when both the front tap and drain valve are closed.
  • Do not pump the system too quickly. Be smooth, go slow and complete the motion.
  • Do not pump muddy water into the system without the pre-filter sponge.
  • Do not connect the hose directly to sediments, mud or water of high turbidity.

Below is the full video of the entire set up and operation
There you have it.

Filtering and obtaining clean water has never been easier, requiring only 3 stages without the use of electricity.
