Ashton Tucker Water Treatment provides equipment that filters out contaminants that could harm entire communities. Dangerous contaminants found in water often include synthetic organic compounds (SOCs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microbial organisms and bacteria, inorganic compounds (IOCs), and radionuclides.

Through the efforts with Ashton Tucker Water Treatment and Pure Water for the World, affected communities no longer need to fear waterborne diseases. The partnership’s activities have improved accessibility to sustainable, clean drinking water in the area.

Ashton Tucker Water Treatment ensures high quality and cost-effective solutions to treating water with their conventional gravity filters. The filtration units work with gravity to create the natural pressure that pulls water through the filter, removing solid particles. Without the need for electricity or labor, the filter saves time, effort, and energy.

Their efforts also include educating the affected communities about how water treatment works: after filtering, disinfectants are used to remove potentially disease-causing microorganisms — ground water receives this treatment, especially with compounds like activated charcoal, to remove the taste and smell from the water. Lastly, the water goes through the filter again to remove excess particles.

“Ensuring that public health systems have safe water for their consumers starts with having the right tools for monitoring and addressing any contaminants that are found and implementing a “train” of treatment processes that provide the most effective elimination of any contaminants in the water,” says Ashton Tucker Water Treatment.
