Every human being has the right to safe drinking water. Yet, even in 2025, waterborne diseases remain one of the biggest public health challenges in India. According to government reports, millions of people still face unsafe or untreated water daily — leading to outbreaks of diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, and other preventable illnesses.

The irony? We know the solution. Chlorination has been the world’s most trusted method of water disinfection for over a century. The challenge is not the science, but the systems.

The Problem With Traditional Chlorination

In theory, every rural water supply scheme should deliver safe, treated water. In practice, conventional chlorination often fails because:

• It depends on electricity → Many villages face unreliable or no power supply.
• It needs skilled operators → Pumps, dosing machines, and liquid chemicals require constant monitoring.
• It involves high maintenance → Moving parts break down, cartridges clog, and chemicals run out quickly.
• It’s expensive and unsustainable → Regular servicing and specialized staff increase long-term costs.

This is why even well-funded schemes under programs like the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) sometimes struggle with reliable chlorination at the last mile.

A Simpler Way: Gravity and Tablets

What if chlorination didn’t need electricity, pumps, or technicians?
What if the process could be as simple as water flowing through a pipe?

That’s exactly where innovations like ChloriTap™ come in. Instead of depending on complex machinery, it uses the power of gravity and WHO-recommended chlorine tablets (200g TCCA/NADCC).

Here’s how it works:

1. Water flows by gravity from a tank or pipeline.
2. A small suction mechanism draws water into a chamber with chlorine tablets.
3. The tablets dissolve slowly, releasing chlorine into the main water flow.
4. Every drop comes out consistently disinfected — at safe levels (1 ppm), aligned with BIS 10500:2012 and WHO standards.

No power. No moving parts. No fuss.

Where This Matters Most

• Rural Villages → Where electricity is unreliable, and maintenance is a challenge.
• Schools & Anganwadis → Where children need guaranteed safe water every day.
• Healthcare Centres → Where untreated water can turn a safe place into a health hazard.
• Gram Panchayat Tanks → Where one unit can secure safe water for entire communities.

The beauty of such systems is scalability — from 2 lakh litres to 30 lakh litres of water, depending on community size.

Beyond Technology: The Social Impact

Safe water is more than just a technical issue — it’s about dignity, equity, and opportunity. When women don’t have to worry about the quality of the water their families drink, when schools can trust that their taps are safe, when villages don’t face seasonal outbreaks of disease, the impact ripples across health, education, and livelihoods.

This is why solutions like ChloriTap™ are not just “products.” They are enablers of national goals like Jal Jeevan Mission and global aspirations like the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All.

A Future of Safe, Simple Water

The real innovation isn’t in making technology more complex — it’s in making it so simple that it works anywhere, without conditions. Gravity-powered, non-electric chlorination has the potential to change how communities think about water safety: not as a privilege, but as a guarantee.

Because in the end, the promise of safe water should be simple.
