PRODUCE YOUR CHLORINE LOCALLY
PROCESS
The WATA device only need water and simple table salt to inexpensively produce active chlorine (at a concentration of 0.5 g/L).
This solution of concentrated disinfectant allows you to treat your drinking water as well as to disinfect objects and surfaces.
WATA devices
WATA devices come in four sizes with outputs of sodium hypochlorite ranging from 0.5L to 60L with a production time of 2 hours.

SOLAR MODULES
To meet the needs of rural communities where access to energy is precarious, WATA solar kits are powered by photovoltaic energy.
Availability

12 Volts, 4 to 40 Amps
HOW TO USE WATA?
You will find demonstration videos that explain the use of the different devices step by step on the Tutorial videos tab and on Youtube.
STABILIZE AND CONTROL YOUR PRODUCTION
To facilitate the use of the active chlorine produced, we have developed three reagents, WataTest, WataStab and WataBlue. They allow to:
- control the concentration of chlorine,
- stabilize your production,
- monitor the quality of treated drinking water.
The active chlorine concentration of a solution determines the use that can be made of it (drinking water treatment, surface disinfection, vegetable disinfection, etc.). The WataTest reagent thus makes it possible to determine the active chlorine concentration of any chlorinated solution (NaOCl, HTH, NaDCC, bleach).
If you plan to use your sodium hypochlorite more than 24 hours after having produced it, WATA proposes a simple stabilization method.
The WataStab kit ensures that your sodium hypochlorite solution has a shelf life of at least 3 months.
In order to avoid recontamination of drinking water, it is essential to have residual chlorine in the water. The WataBlue reagent allows you to check the level of residual chlorine, and thus make sure you have the level recommended by the WHO.
