Production of the Siphon filter in Mozambique

Siphon filter

With Funds of the Programma PvW (Partners voor Water), Connect is studying the possibilites of a local production of the so called Siphon water filter in Mozambique. The Siphon filter is an innovative filter which is more effective and lower in cost than other ceramic filters known so far and is smaller than the so called pot filters as promoted by PfP

The recent publication Marketing safe water by Mr Urs Heierli describes the Siphon filter as a promising low cost option to reduce water borne diseases. See for more information about the siphon filter also the website of Arrakis.
