Product description

Gongali Model’s NanoFilter Water System is a revolutionary solution that addresses the critical issue of providing safe drinking water in regions with limited infrastructure. Developed by Professor Askwar Hilonga, this gravity-driven filtration device utilizes proprietary nanotechnology to deliver clean water without the need for electricity.

The system employs a multi-layer filtration process combining sand, Bonchor, and nano-materials to effectively remove turbidity, biological contaminants, and harmful heavy metals, including fluoride. With a capacity to produce up to 1,200 liters of clean water per day, the NanoFilter is tailored for use in households, schools, and community projects.

Meeting WHO standards, this innovative system significantly reduces water-borne illnesses, improving health outcomes for over 300,000 beneficiaries in Tanzania. Its scalability, low cost, and reliability make it an ideal solution for underserved communities, providing access to potable water where it is most needed.

By creating over 127 jobs and empowering local communities, the NanoFilter Water System not only ensures clean water access but also contributes to social and economic development. Through its ease of use and maintenance, this technology-driven solution is making a tangible difference in the lives of those who would otherwise lack access to safe drinking water.
