AQN
Water and power for disaster zones
Disasters that result in blackouts and water emergencies can paralyze any area in the world. Unpredictability limits response times and the effectiveness of relief efforts. The AQN is a solution for overcoming countless scenarios where difficult terrain, large impact areas, limited accessibility to personnel and compromised water sources affect delivery of drinking water and electrical power.
The HydroVolt AQN can be deployed in minutes and has the versatility and portability to purify any water source: seawater, rivers, lakes, tap water, swimming pools, ponds and flood water. It can pump water out of flooded indoor areas even while providing standard generator applications.
No priming needed. Draws source water at constant flow from 91 meters (300 feet).

4 modes of operation
Power Generator Only
The generator is capable of simultaneously powering the unit and offers usable external electricity. It can also be used as a stand-alone power generator.
RO Water Maker / Purification
Sea, brackish or nuclear/biologically/chemically contaminated water is processed using 7 stages, which include a reverse osmosis stage.
Filter Only
For less contaminated water sources, the reverse osmosis stage can be bypassed from the control panel, increasing the output to 15,000 L (4,000 gal) and extending the life of the RO membranes.
Pump Only
The powerful delivery pump can transfer over 50,000 L (14,500 gal) of water a day. This mode can be used to clear out flooded areas, provide showers, and rinse off equipment.
