Emergency Sanitation & Water Purification

SoChlor™ Aqua Granules are a high level, broad spectrum water disinfectant used to make large quantities of pure water cost effectively.

According to the World Health Organization diarrhoea related diseases account for 4.3% of total global diseases, with 88% of cases ascribed to unsafe drinking-water. SoChlor™ Aqua Granules have been extensively used by leading NGOs including UNICEF and MSF, government agencies and task forces and many others during the West African Ebola emergency. For areas without a mains water supply. SoChlor™ Aqua Granules can be used at wells, standpipes, in tanker trucks and other similar locations to provide clean, safe drinking water.
