They drink direct tube well water without boil. They never think their safety from e-coli and other bacteria. Only think arsenic problem. Arsenic is big problem in Bangladesh. More than 35 million people are highly affected in arsenic. In Bangladesh arsenic maximum contaminants label 50ppb and who’s maximum contaminants label 10ppb. People never think (USEPA drinking water contaminants) other microorganisms, toxic chemical, pesticides, and radionuclides, organic and inorganic chemical contaminants for their health safety. All of these contaminants are found in ground water. For this reason people affected many disease (liver, kidney, heart and brain) day by day. We need your advice for our poor people how can afford their safe drinking water for their good health. Actually we interested to know which purifying method (ultra filtration, ultraviolet light, reverse osmosis system, nano membrane system, ozone method and chemical process method etc.) is appropriate for safe drinking water. We are waiting for your gratefully answer. Thanking you Zillur Rahman Dear Sir,

Ours provided by Micama in Haiti. Cost is under $12 US, spigot for a bucket included. The size of a lg baking potato, light-weight, provides water fast. Scrubbable, reusable for years, quick to install this project is a life-saver. We (OneBigBoost) provided 350 filters to the mountains in south-west Haiti during a new cholera outbreak. Where dependability, cost, weight and transportation are issues, this fits the ticket! highly recommended!! We have experience with the small, ceramic filters. Ours provided by Micama in Haiti.

They're great ideas at the initial concept, but how practical are they? How much do they cost, how available are they to the people who will be using them, are they really being adopted, and how are they fixed or replaced when broken? Glad you're covering stuff like this. It would be great to take this blog post to the next level and assess the successes of each product. Can you discuss the cost per unit of each of these?
