Phil Souter Phil Souter and his team invented the P&G Purifier of Water packets, which use the processes of coagulation and flocculation to separate contaminants in the water and then disinfection to make the water clean and drinkable.

P&G Purifier of Water contains a chlorine disinfectant (calcium hypochlorite) for killing bacteria and an iron salt coagulant (ferric sulfate) for removing suspended matter, protozoa, and viruses. It also contains a buffer, clay and polymer to provide good coagulation and flocculation.

Learn how P&G water purification technology works to provide clean drinking water for millions

1. Step 1: Pour. The contents of one P&G water purification packet are poured into a bucket with 10 liters of water.
2. Step 2: Stir.
3. Step 3: Settle.
4. Step 4: Filter.

As water flows through the filter, physical and chemical contaminants are adsorbed by the carbon while heavy metals like lead and mercury are adsorbed by the ion exchange materials.

Turns dirty, contaminated water into fresh, clean, drinkable water. P&G Purifier of Water Packets are highly effective and is registered as a disinfect by the EPA and removes 99.9999% of commonly found bacteria, and 99.99% of viruses. A portable water treatment system that you can take anywhere.

Since 2004, the Children's Safe Drinking Water program has been P&G's effort to provide clean drinking water to families in the developing world.

Specifications. The filtration grade (micron rating) indicates smallest particle size separated (e.g., 5, 75, 300, 600 µm). Maximum liquid flow ranges (e.g., 0.5 to 150 GPM). Filters operate at a maximum pressure (e.g., 60 to 300 psi).

Those methods include boiling, granular activated-carbon filtering, distillation, reverse osmosis, and direct contact membrane distillation.

PUR Faucet filters are certified by NSF to reduce 70 chemical & physical substances*, including lead, microplastics, chlorine and mercury. The WQA (Water Quality Association) is the water industry's trade association. They awarded PUR faucet filters with their Gold Seal certification.

A Simple Way to Clean Water The P&G water purification technology is an amazing innovation that quickly turns 10 liters of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean and drinkable water. The packet was invented by P&G laundry scientists who were originally trying to separate dirt from used laundry water.

The P&G™ packet treatment meets the US Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization emergency drinking water guidelines.

Reverse Osmosis technology is a cost-effective method of purifying water in laboratories. This technique discards most of the impurities from the tap water to produce pure water. The reverse osmosis technique is based on the RO membranes that work in eliminating organic contents up to a high degree.

There are various types of water purifiers: RO (Reverse Osmosis), UF (Ultrafiltration), and UV (Ultraviolet). Some water purifiers use a combination of various technologies, including RO and UV. Based on the TDS level, you need to choose the type of water purifier that suits your needs.

Water purification can not only help remove harmful containment but also improve the taste, smell and visual appearance of your drinking water. It reduces the amount of chlorine, soil residue, and organic and inorganic substances.
