WATERQUBE
WATERQUBE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
THE WATERQUBE IS A
CONTAINERIZED, CLEAN
ENERGY, CHEMICAL FREE WATER
TREATMENT SYSTEM CAPABLE OF
SUPPLYING 10,000 – 20,000 LITRES
OF CLEAN WATER PER DAY FROM
CONTAMINATED WATER SOURCES.
SECONDARY FILTRATION: NANOMESH
Carbon Nanotube (“CNT”) technology is about manipulating
carbon atoms at a microscopic scale. Nanotechnology
generally refers to the scientific application of knowledge to
manipulate and develop structures with dimensions in the
range of 1 billionth of a metre (one nanometer) to 50 billionths
of a meter.
FEATURES
•Solar powered, containerized clean water system
•Pre-clean with 25 and 5 micron bag and activated carbon
filtration for sediment and organic removal
•10,000 litres per day tank capacity
•Post-clean with Seldon double stage nanofiltration
CNTs are the core of Seldon NanomeshTM technology
and have a diameter ranging from sub-nanometer up to
approximately 50 nanometers. They are forms of carbon
which have a cylindrical wall structure (coaxial for multiwalled-CNTs) and resemble a continuous, seamless
hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms. The length of CNTs is
typically thousands to tens-of-thousands of nanometers with
a few special carbon nanotubes grown to longer than one
million nanometers (1 millimeter).
CNTs have intrinsically superior electrical and mechanical
properties compared to other materials, and their very large
aspects ratios (width to length) and tensile strength make
them the ideal fiber for fluid filtration if applied in a stable and
suitable form. NanomeshTM is made up of a fused nanostructured, non-woven material that is produced in a readily
scalable process combining functionalized CNTs, activated
carbon and fibers within a supporting substrate sheet
material. Using the enormous surface area created by the
CNT-based nanomesh, it combines size-exclusion filtration
and advanced sorption capability, resulting in a simple, flowthrough filter that maximizes purification at low pressure drop.

Bag Filtration is a simple and effective way of
removing larger solids down to 1um. Bags are
replaced when incoming pressure increases indicating
excessive blockage.

Activated Carbon is commonly used to absorb natural
organic compounds, taste and odour compounds, and
synthetic organic chemicals in drinking water treatment.
Activated carbon is an effective absorbent because it is a
highly porous material and provides a large surface area
to which contaminants may absorb. One of the main types
of activated carbon used in water treatment applications is
granular activated carbon (GAC).

WATERQUBE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE:
Filter Bags are replaced based on increasing pressure
between water harvest pump and filter bags. This increase
in pressure indicates the bag are progressively blocking
from the collection of sediment from the water source. The
frequency of bag changes will be dependent on the quality of
the water source and the filtration of the bags selected (50um,
25um, 5um, 1um). The Filter Bag Pressure will be measured
and monitored by the Water Harvest Pump Controller.
Activated Carbon will not block but will eventually fail to
absorb the natural organic compounds present in the water
source. This can be detected by water quality measurement
of the Activated Carbon can be replaced at set, periodic
intervals. The Activated Carbon is replaced by removing the
canisters, opening and replacing the contents.
NanomeshTM are nominally rated at 60,000 litres capacity
but will last for longer with effective Primary Filtration. The
Nanomesh is installed in a bank of five parallel units and
assuming full daily use of the WateQube, should be replaced
monthly by swapping Nanomesh cartridges.
