The technology has no harm on the environment, and the units can be used as containers to store water. The units are good overall but the only bottleneck is their cost: they are expensive for rural women. With average solar radiation, the equipment takes 2 to 3 hours to clean the water; however, with low solar radiation (cloudy day) or when the wind is strong, beneficiaries report that it takes longer to clean the water. Also, the units are effective, only that some units have the problem of leaking and that sometimes makes the rural woman unhappy. Otherwise there is a great impact in the areas where we supplied the units.
