The Wateroam Blog – What to expect!
The Wateroam blog is where you can learn about life-saving water filtration, disaster relief efforts, product maintenance tips and much, much more!
All products have pore sizes of 0.02 micron.
All products utilize advanced hollow-fibre technologies.
Depending on the input water quality and the frequency of maintenance, the water filters can last 1 to 2 years.
Yes. All products have available replaceable filter cartridge that can be purchased from Wateroam.
Yes. You may purchase individual spare parts from Wateroam.
As water quality vary at different places, initial assessment of the water quality is helpful in determining suitability. You can contact us and our friendly team will advise you on your water project at no additional charge.
With the advancement of technologies, seawater can be treated through Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane or desalination. Both of which require a huge amount of energy. Wateroam’s filtration systems are built to be operated with hand pump, and specialise in removing bacteria and viruses; excluding the sea water treatment.
As compared to CF, UF hollow-fibre can achieve a smaller and more uniform pore size. UF hollow-fibre is more lightweight, has a higher active surface area and thinner filtration layer. This enables the UF hollow-fibre to achieve a higher flow rate at lower pressure. To maximise durability, UF hollow-fibre needs to be kept moist even when not in use, whereas the CF does not have to be.
*UF has a smaller pore size range of 0.02 to 0.1 micron, while CF has a bigger pore size of 0.5 micron. This means that CF is incapable of filtering out viruses, which is the cause of diarrhoea. One of the most common issues of contaminated water consumption is daily diarrhoea, and we want to eliminate the cause through UF.
Many water filters are too complex, bulky, require long set-up time, and often require an energy source to generate sufficient water head to push water through the membrane. In rural conditions, we do not have the luxury of providing extensive training to villagers to ensure proper usage, vehicles to transport bulky systems, or a constant flow of electricity.
The ROAMfilter™ Plus is simple, portable, durable and does not require electricity. It is designed specifically to the needs of rural and disaster-hit conditions. Using the hand pump operation, it can produce up to 200L of water in an hour. It is easy to use, and can be carried around in your backpack – making it ideal for rural areas with little infrastructure.
Wateroam’s products specialises in filtering bacteria, viruses and cysts within the pore size range of 0.02 microns. It is not designed to remove taste, chemicals and heavy metals. However, we are fully aware about these issues in certain locations and we are currently exploring ways to address them. Further product development will be done to enhance the technology’s filtering capabilities.
We’ve worked together with various humanitarian organisations, relief agencies, corporates, schools and religious institutions to bring clean water to over 350,000 people in 43 countries.
