Currently, increasing issues more than water resources is getting tougher. Plus the lack of attention from the government and scientists will likely be disastrous if they don’t do a thing. But then, Soelidarmi (69), a housewife from Bantul, Yogyakarta took the initiative in order to invent water purification equipment. Soelidarmi wants to make a water purification device that’s expected to provide solutions for the availability of secure water to the appropriate, quick, inexpensive, and easy.
This traditional water purification tool produced by Soelidarmi – which world widely known as Penjernih Air – is made of materials that are simple to uncover about us like the cotton filter, coconut shell charcoal, active zeolite, gallons of paint used along with the lid. This traditional water purification tool could be installed in a bathtub below the faucet.
In addition to usability to deal with the contaminated water, regular water Penjernih Air is also in a position to purify rainwater or dirty river water to be able to drink. This tool is usually enabled manually, by making use of a bucket and applying human power, the water became clear soon after roughly 30 minutes. Whereas for those who use the engine water pump, around 900 liters per hour takes only 5 minutes for the water to be clean. In addition to this easy-to-use tool, it’s also energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and simple to do upkeep.
“Since 1981, I’ve been researching water and all the aspects that lead Perusaknya water containing a thousand sorts of diseases,” explained Soelidarmi even though interviewed by phone.
In comparison with other water purification tool which can be created overseas, the standard water purification equipment Soelidarmi invented is far more affordable, though the good quality just isn’t inferior to other water purification equipment from abroad. Foreign-made water purifiers are worth about Rp. 600,000.00 to 120,000,000.00. While the artificial water purification equipment Soelidarmi sold starts from Rp 50,000.000. The shape of Penjernih Air is very simple, and quite easy to use too. By installing it on a water faucet, the water that could pass through the water purification equipment has the quality of drinking water.
Hopefully with this conventional water purification equipment, it is going to aid to facilitate the life of Indonesia, due to the fact it has numerous uses – but the price tag is just not a burden on society.
“My hope in Indonesia is for my water purification equipment to become developed additional for the benefit with the complete persons of Indonesia,” added Soelidarmi.
