Hi Bob. There is quite a lot of information provided by the Ceramic Water Purifier (CWP) manufactures which are based in Cambodia. Most notably Hydrologic which produces the Super Tunsai. https://www.hydrologichealth.com/category/products/

Is it effective? The short answer is yes, if used and maintained properly. Maintenance is minimal compared to many other filtration technologies, which makes it more ideal for household use. Here’s a video that I think does a good job explaining how CWPs work: https://youtu.be/O01JMhZzE3k

Value for Money? We’ve seen reports that CWPs can have a life span between 2-4 years. Which for an upfront cost of US$ 30-40 is a pretty good value. Of course, it’s only a good value if it’s used. Additional project costs are likely needed to support information and training activities and materials to users.

Can WaterAid Cambodia give technical advice? No problem. We would be happy to meet Sue and show her water quality testing options. Please pass along my contact information below.

Hope this helps. J.
