About Us
History
- 1973. The Swedish research company Scarab Development AB started development work in water technology. The main target was solar desalination.
- 1979. The first patent was approved. After that more than 20 international patents have been approved.
- 1980. An article was published in the EU magazine – The Courier – about Solar Desalination for Irrigation.
- 1990. HVR Water Purification AB was hived off to develop equipment for purification of drinking water.
Since then:
- Dozens of research papers have been published.All types of contaminants have been tested. Hundreds of prototype test have been performed. Test units have been operated in Saudi-Arabia and Qatar and lab equipment are presently used by researchers in Australia, Italy and France.
- 2015-2020. A pilot has been in trouble free operation in Stockholm for six years.
- 2016-2020. Based on these experiences a design for the first commercial equipment for production of pure drinking water was started and will be completed during this period.
Future
The aim is a daily supply of 2 – 4 litres of absolutely pure and healthy drinking water to everyone. The water will be supplied by local drinking water plants as a complement to the piped water supply.
The first demos will be installed in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Gambia in 2021. Full-scale commercial operations will start in 2022.
Why Ultra Pure Water is Good for You
HVR’s products make ultra pure drinking water. Its partner company Xzero uses a similar technology to make ultra pure water for the semiconductor industry where it is used to clean microchips.
Efficiency
Rather than removing contaminants from the water, HVR’s products extract water molecules from contaminated water. It only extracts water molecules and therefore will not contain any contaminants.
HVR’s products are developed to purify tap water or well water but if your tap water supply is lost, you can safely use water from a river, lake or pond, from a swimming pool or from the ocean.
Minerals
HVR water will slowly flush out both healthy and unhealthy minerals through the kidneys. If you eat clean and basifying food and/or supplement with healthy minerals, your body burden will be reduced and the mineral balance of your body will be restored.
Acid water
Ultra pure water is slightly acidic because carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is dissolved into the water making it carbonated. We therefore recommend that you use basifying food or supplement with healthy minerals.
