Why the Need for UFILTA? • Having clean drinking water is a basic human right • Over 1 billion people have NO ACCESS to safe, drinking water. • 88% of the world’s diseses are caused by unsafe drinking water, ineffective sanitation and poor hygiene. • Approximately 1.8 million children die every year from diarrheal diseses (i.e. cholera and dysentery), more so than from HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. • Only 2.5% of the earth’s water id freswater and only 0.08% of that is fit as drinking water
Why develop UFILTA? To ensure clean, safe & affordable water for everyone using a safer and more effective means of conerting untreated and dirty wster to drinking water with the help of the UFILTA technology and product range.

SUMMARY
In developing the markets, AquaFilta came across numerous reservations on the elemental issue of water-borne bacteria being too limiting a tool for water purity as it should encompass the entire spectrum of both water-borne Bacteria AS WELL as water-borne Virus that are prevalent in most developing and third world countries In many areas around the world water may carry significant amounts of particulate matter that may present a serious health problem when the water is used as a drinking supply. AquaFilta products are designed and engineered for production of personal clean water at the fingertips anywhere. The products are simple to use, maintain and easy to carry by Travelers, Armed Forces, Campers, General population (especially in countries with poor drinking water quality) and Organizations (WHO, UN, Red Cross etc).Commentary Note 1 – Differentiation between UFilta Products Portability Vs Stand Alone Purifiers. The majority of water filtration units (be it residential, commercial or industrial) require power sources using Reverse Osmosis, Ultraviolet technology, and other fancy terminology. Though they function they are all NOT chemical free NOR portable as they are designed as fixed units. In the case of our UFilta products any user can refill at any available water source to access clean water without having to purchase bottled water. This alone is costly and not readily available in terms of its quality. However with the introduction of UFilta products & its capabilities this will change not just due its capabilities but its cost effectiveness over all competitors.Commentary Note 2 – Global Water Issues for Safe Drinking Water. Safe drinking water the world over is becoming increasingly scarce, contaminated and undrinkable due to human and animal wastes. NRDC’s (USA) four-year review of the bottled water industry and the safety standards that govern it concluded that there is no assurance that just because water comes out of a bottle it is any cleaner or safer than water from the tap. Conventional water treatment technologies such as chlorine and ammonia themselves may cause health problems and are clearly inadequate in dealing with new complex microbiological entities that exist in our water. Considering the accessibility of safe drinking water, even in first world countries, the majority would have used bottled water as a major source of their drinking water. Simply put, the UFilta products have enormous and positive implications on the environment and social consciousness of the world.
