FAQ

• Ultrafiltration- or nanofiltration-based portable water purifier

• Can run from grid, generator, or solar power (requires backup battery)

• Our 100% organic cleaning solution does not produce poisonous soup from acid or alkyne use

• Low operation and maintenance costs, no skill required, and no replacement of internal parts required for years if properly maintained

• Compact and complete system; can be carried by two people, or wheeled by one, and set up in less than one minute

• Back-flushing is accomplished by simply turning knobs to redirect water

The Caripur is an inline purification filter that allows your external cistern pump or water authority pressure to push water through our membranes. So, it is essentially a passive system, using almost no electricity until needed. Employing-primarily ultrafiltration membrane technology, our device presents a physical barrier to prevent the passage of organic and inorganic material.

Water purification chose us. We were led to address a problem that was lingering. We saw that the Caribbean gets millions of gallons of water from the sky, but still buys significant amounts of bottled water. We care because we have all seen how quickly businesses can fail and how fast a community shuts down when a company picks up and moves. This has been occurring in the Caribbean. We intend to help in whatever manner we can, because I care and because CWT cares. We have the potential to be larger than companies such as Google, Pixar, Tesla, and Uber because what we make preserves life and all life needs it.

All of the Caripur units are equipped with components and membranes that are made in the USA in ISO 9001:2008 certified facilities, meet MIL-STD-810F specifications, and are designed for continuous run.

It is a point-of-entry device, designed to purify water in individual homes and businesses, It can operate off of solar power, so remote locations can also benefit.

The Caripur is built to operate under harsh climate conditions, from deserts to very humid regions.

We customize the units for their specific geography, and we provide all commensurate attachments for said environments. Water temperature cannot, however, exceed 113◦ F (75◦ C).

Depending on the type of unit, the required amount of water, the amount of power supply, and additional features, the price can vary. Please contact us directly for pricing.

The units reside inside of custom-formed, high-strength polymer cases, which are engineered to protect the components from the harshest conditions. The units are specially designed and manufactured to work outdoors and under harsh weather conditions. However, some form of protection (a roof or indoor installation, or a storage facility) can extend the life of the unit. We provide our units assembled in standardized Uni-Pak 40″ x 48″ x 45″ pallet pack containers.

The Caripur produces rejected liquid and varies depending upon how frequently a flush is required. As a general rule, we suggest 2% of the water is rejectant. Since our system does not use acid and antiscalant dosing, the concentration of concentrate is not very high and can be used directly for irrigation. However, use for irrigation depends on the type of salt present in the rejected streams and the concentration of salts. If rejected streams contain heavy metal salts such as chromium salts, then this water cannot be used for irrigation.

Alternatively, placement into an open-air pit or hole to dewater the rejectant can be done so that it is in a more concentrated form for disposal once the water has evaporated.

There are times when the unit is standing for a couple of days and bacteria might form on the permeate port. While the Caripur has bacteria-resistant components and tubing, it is recommended to, after a period of standing, run the water for about a minute. If the wait period has been longer than a couple of days, add chlorine to the port supplied with our unit to shock the system.

Caripur units are not mobile, and they require a plumber to detach and up to 3 people to relocate the units to another location for installation.

Yes, we provide detailed information about the different components’ warranties within our quotations, and in the Warranty section at the bottom of the website.

The Caripur™ is the passive/powered unit that can remove elements down to .02 microns (viruses, bacteria, cysts, etc.), producing microbiologically clean water at a rate of up to 20 gpm (76 lpm). The Caripur H2O™ “005” produces up to 5gpm, and the " 010 " produces up to 10gpm.
