Description

Twothirds Water'sTapp is an extremely simple and user-friendly household water filter for families in developing countries. This water filter is able to remove over 99.99% of bacteria, parasites, and dirt from drinking water. Tapp is so easy to use that anyone can produce safe water in minutes with no training or written instructions. It is well suited to the end-users' needs and preferences, and it connects to whatever water vessels the family normally uses (such as buckets, jerry cans, jugs or bottles), thus avoiding several major adoption barriers. The cleaning process is also extremely simple, taking about 10 seconds to flush away any trapped debris.
