It has so far only been installed in Kenya, however IPA is planning to scale up the program. The system has the potential to work on a global scale as a solution to waterborne diseases. Studies show it improves health at a cost of US$20 per [http://www.who.int/healthinfo/global_burden_disease/metrics_daly/en/index.html DALY] (Disability Adjusted Life Year). Approximately 100$ per DALY is considered very cost effective.

 

Alternative solution as water driven metering pumps [[Dosatron]] can be used to insure chlorine distribution inside the network or storage tank

===Suitable conditions===

* [http://www.poverty-action.org/ An Innovative Solution]. Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA). The dispenser system includes a simple, low-cost water treatment technology that has achieved remarkable and sustained use in Kenya. The innovative dispenser is filled with dilute chlorine and placed near a communal water source, allowing individual users to treat their water with the correct dose of chlorine in their jerricans after it has been collected from the source.
