Pocket EOX
The Pocket EOX: Safe, Clean Drinking Water in Minutes
The GEE Pocket EOX is an easy-to-use pocket-sized water treatment system anyone can operate off a mobile phone, solar panel or scooter battery.
Developed for people struggling with unsafe drinking water, these units are designed for individuals to treat their own contaminated drinking water in a matter of minutes.
We provide Pocket EOX units to charities at no-profit to us. Hundreds have already been shipped to different parts of the world from the post-cyclone crisis in Mozambique to developing countries where unsafe drinking water is a daily struggle.
A Recent Letter
“Dear Ground Effects, the units are all still in use in Rwanda and Kivu Province of Congo next door. People are very happy with the improvements in their health and more productive lives as a result. A medical doctor told me that a patient with health problems over many years has overcome all of his health challenges since he has been using the Pocket EOX with a small solar panel. The doctor is amazed and would like to test further in the 14 bush clinics he supervises.
The devices are very precious and people are being careful to look after them so there have been no breakdowns or mechanical problems. The most popular source of power is the small solar panel since there is no electricity in many rural areas. We could certainly use more if and when they are available. Thank you very much for your assistance. It has really changed lives.
The Science
GEE’s Pocket EOX is based on our EOX wastewater treatment technology we use in a variety of industries. The Pocket EOX works on the principle of electrokinetics.
Via proprietary electrodes, the EOX applies a safe low current electrical field to the wastewater. The electrical field destabilizes the molecular bonds between the contaminants and the water in minutes. Through the destabilization process, the waste separates from the water and is removed, leaving the clean water. The process does not use heat or chemicals and has very low energy use.
Features
Safe Drinking Water in Minutes
Can treat five gallons of water in 20 minutes removing bacteria, viruses, arsenic, cyanide, ammonia, phosphates, metals, suspended solids and many more contaminants.
Easy to Use
The system is simple, effective and portable. It has no moving parts, no membranes and uses no chemicals.2018_480x270.jpg)
No Language Barrier
The Pocket EOX is delivered with an illustrated brochure so that the process can be understood by non-readers or non-English-readers.
Accessible, Readily Available Energy Sources
Requires two watts of electricity and can be charged using a car battery, scooter battery, cell phone battery backup or charger, or solar panel.Case Studies
