Safe Water Solution
Safe water solution is a dilute sodium hypochlorite (chlorine) solution used to disinfect water at the household level. One capful of solution treats about 20 liters of water, about the size of most containers used to obtain and store water. The solution is easy to use and extremely inexpensive —a bottle typically costs less than thirty cents to protect a family of six for one month.
PSI markets and distributes safe water solution in 18 countries and has become the largest distributor in the world. The solution is locally-manufactured, which allows PSI to engage and develop the local private sector, improve sustainability of the program, and reduce production costs.
