A freshwater well pump is a structure created in the ground by Borehole drilling to access groundwater in underground aquifers. The well water is drawn by a pump or using containers, such as buckets, that are raised mechanically or by hand.

We ensure that our local partners are highly trained in the WASH program, teaching the importance of hygiene and sanitation.

The filters are produced locally at ceramics facilities and then impregnated with colloidal silver to ensure complete removal of bacteria in treated water and to prevent the growth of bacteria within the filter itself.

After identifying countries that are encountering a severe water crisis, The PH8 Foundation connects with reputable local partners that are entrusted to the local communities. We then join forces to provide the most effective clean water solutions for the people who are faced with the effects of the global water crisis firsthand.

As water flows through the filter, physical straining removes pathogens, iron, turbidity, and manganese from drinking water. A shallow layer of water sits atop the sand and a biofilm develops. The biofilm contributes to the removal of pathogens due to predation and competition for food of non-harmful microorganisms contained in the biofilm and the harmful organisms in the water.
