Paqua offers innovative, eco-friendly technology with our PaquaVida Water Purification System, ensuring a continuous supply of safe, fresh drinking water almost anywhere. Whether you're transitioning from transported tanked water or seeking a more sustainable alternative to your current treatment system without relying on hazardous chemicals, we can help.
The first step in developing a reliable water purification system is to thoroughly understand your source water. We require a detailed analysis against the drinking water criteria outlined in relevant legal standards, such as the European Drinking Water Directive 98/83 EC or national regulations. This analysis helps us determine which modules your PaquaVida Water Purification System needs to effectively address specific issues in your source water.

PaquaVida Water Purification Systems are modular and custom-built to suit your needs and source water. We carefully consider your source water report along with specifics like location, infrastructure, and required water flow rate. After collaborating with you, we prepare a specification for a modular system tailored to your requirements.
A wide range of modules can be incorporated to tackle issues from turbidity to heavy metal contamination and microbiological threats.
In this stage, supply water is treated for impurities, excluding microbiological loads. Various steps can improve source water quality, including reducing turbidity and removing iron, manganese, ammonium, nitrates, and nitrites, while adjusting hardness and pH. This step ensures water quality is sufficient for the next module. Our PaquaVida system employs any necessary technology, from ionisers to filters, tailored to your specific needs.
The PaquaVida Water Purification System eliminates all microbiological loads using ultra-filtration membranes and a unique disinfection solution generated within the unit through electrolysis. This solution is injected into the water flow to keep the system clear of biofilm, thus enhancing module efficiency. This process removes contaminants like mycobacterium, fungi, viruses, bacterial endospores, and gram-positive/negative bacteria, including high-risk pathogens such as coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Legionella.
This automated process handles controlled dosing, backwashing, and enhanced cleaning without needing additional products, adapting automatically to changing source water quality. A potable water buffer tank ensures a ready supply for delivery to customer infrastructure, maintaining a small residual disinfection to prevent microorganism regrowth.
With minimal energy requirements, PaquaVida Water Purification Systems can operate on solar or wind turbine power, making them ideal for off-grid or remote locations.
Understanding that not all locations have a reliable power supply, we offer an Uninterrupted Power Supply solution that keeps some or all modules operational during outages. The UPS also smooths out power supply variations, ensuring seamless system operation. During a power issue, optional strobes will alert the operator, and once mains power or backup generators resume, the UPS will automatically recharge for future events, ensuring continuous production of drinking water.
The integrated solution operates autonomously, requiring only occasional salt top-ups for on-board disinfection and prescribed maintenance.
Once assembled, your PaquaVida Water Purification System can typically be transported fully set up within a standard shipping container or a high-top van for road transport. Some customers prefer to keep the system in the shipping container for ongoing use, allowing for easy ‘plug-and-play’ setup at a prepared location.
