AQS Aquashield

Universal PowerBank & WaterMaker

All in one: a portable (airline checked baggage) Mil-Spec emergency water and power system.

It purifies any water source, operating as a filtration system or a reverse osmosis desalination unit with the push of a single button. It has an internal power bank and charger, and takes universal external power (90–260 V, 40–80 Hz).

Truly universal, no matter the water or power source.

Water purification stages

  1. Stage 1 & 22-step mesh filtration
  2. Stage 330 micron disc filter
  3. Stage 4Sediment filter (5 micron)
  4. Stage 5Carbon filter
  5. Stage 6Ultraviolet LED lamp
  6. Stage 7Reverse osmosis desalination membrane (300 GPD / 1,100 LPD), or Nephros ultrafiltration (Military Standard P-248)

3 modes of operation

  1. RO Water Maker / Purification

    Sea, brackish or nuclear/biologically/chemically contaminated water is processed using 7 stages, which include a reverse osmosis stage.

  2. Filter Only

    For less contaminated water sources, the reverse osmosis stage can be bypassed from the control panel, increasing the output to 8,208 liters (2,160 gallons) a day and extending the life of the RO membrane. (Military Standard P-248)

  3. Power Bank

    The removable power bank uses high-performance 12 V, 40 Ah LiFePO4 batteries with a balancer. It can be removed from the unit and used as a separate 12 V power source, capable of charging computers and cell phones dozens of times on one charge. Replacement power banks are available for backup.
