TAPS - TActical Purification System
As a water purification system designed to deliver pure water during any water emergency, TAPS can be used as a whole house system, offshore desalination, medical, military and humanitarian deployments as well as during any disaster relief water crisis. The unit is UNIVERSAL, works on 115V or 230V power supply. It produces 3,000 liters (800 gallons) a day of drinking water from seawater, 7,570 Liters (2,000 gallons) a day from fresh-water, filters over 13,250 LPD (3,500 GPD) from fresh water, and can transfer over 37,800 liters (10,000 gallons) a day for use in floods and rescue operations.
No priming required.
Set up and deployment in minutes.
Draws source water at constant flow from 91 meters (300 feet).

3 MODES OF OPERATION
1. RO Water Maker/Purification Mode: Sea, brackish or nuclear/biologically/chemically contaminated water is processed using 7 stages which includes a reverse osmosis stage.
2. Filter Only Mode: For less contaminated water sources, the reverse osmosis stage can be bypassed from the control panel increasing the output to 13,250 liters (3,500 gallons) a day and extends the life of the RO membrane.
3. Pump Only Mode: The powerful delivery pump can transfer over 37,800 liters (10,000 gallons) of water a day. This mode can be used to clear out flooded areas, provide showers, and rinse off equipment.
