As an established leader in social marketing and behavior change
communications, PSI offers PUR Purifier of Water, an affordable,
effective and easy to use point-of-use household water treatment
solution.
Developed by P&G and the US Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), PUR- treated water meets the World Health Organization
(WHO) standards for potable water. PUR has been scientifically
tested by the CDC, and recent studies have shown a 50% reduction on average in cases of diarrhea when PUR is used consistently.
PUR Purifier of Water won the 2005 Stockholm Industry
Water Prize, the top award in the water sector, and the inventors
of
PUR
won
the 2006 Inventors of the Year Award from the Intellectual Property
Owners Association.
Effective and Safe
A small 4g sachet of PUR purifies 2.5 gallons (10 liters) of
dirty water, providing robust removal of microbial and chemical
contaminants,
even in very dirty water. Many who have
seen PUR in action call it “the magic product”, because in just
30 minutes, even the dirtiest water becomes clear and potable. Download
