QuaWater makes an initial assessment of the area and tests the raw water quality. From this information the purification needs are determined and together with the local partners the set-up of the complete water purification system is decided upon. Solutions are offered to each community addressing their specific needs.<br>
A team of local people, led by QuaWater or a supervisor appointed by QuaWater, then prepare the site, lay foundations and set up the main elements of the Village Solution. The finalisation, testing and commissioning of the system is carried out by QuaWater professionals.<br>
Treatment of water is done in batches of 5000 litres, and depending on local situation 4 to 5 batches of purified drinking water can be produced every day. The final product water is clear - low turbidity - and safe – inactivated pathogenic microorganisms. The water produced by the Village Solution is tested on a regular basis to ensure proper functioning of the system. Flocculant and chlorine dosages are adjusted in response to the results of this analysis. <br>
Connections and valves are installed to regulate the flow to the various modules installed in the particular system. Managers are appointed from the local population and trained by QuaWater for operating and maintaining the unit. Spare- and replacement parts can usually be purchased locally and repairs carried out by the local managers. <br>

QuaWater offers follow-up visits to check proper operation of the unit and to test the water produced over time.<br>
Field efficiencies stated above are based on analysis results from Elomoya 2, KwaZuluNatal, South Africa, 11/12/2008. Analysis carried out by AquaDoc Analytics CC. <br>
