Water purifier
Providing clean water using solar
This is a solar based water purification and purification unit. The project leverages on Solar energy, ultrafiltration and Ultra-Violet Purification to provide clean drinking water. This is our final year project submission.
Project Stages
Water purifier
This is the final solar water and purification system prototype.
- Solar
- Water
- Filtration
- UV purification
Version 1
For proof of concept we designed the first prototype which was our version1. On further considerations there was need to scale up the prototype to purify more water.

- Learning
- Testing
PCB Design
Using KiCAD we designed the PCB and fabricated it. The unit is controlled by Lilygo TCall module that controls the operations enabling remote control using GSM.

Technologies
The project intergrates the following technologies to purify the water.
Solar
Solar to power
the filtration unit
Filtration
Use of both sediment filters
and ultrafiltration.
UV Purification
UV LEDs of wavelength
265nm to kill harmful microorganisms in water.
Additional features
- Reminder to change and replace the filters through SMS integration
- Visualize flow statistics and volumes through Thingspeak API dashboard
- Cellular connection and thus WiFi is not needed as data can be send to cloud via GPRS
