Features of the Red Bird System
What goes into a great Red Bird water treatment system?
We build our systems within transportable shipping containers or trailers which house the systems once they are delivered to a community. Using American-made components we have filters that last for years, solar panels and batteries for day and night operation, a chlorine generator for disinfection, and automation of many functions. The patented systems produce drinking water from fresh water sources such as a river or borehole. Systems can be customized for output, power supply, pump size, and optional specialty filters.
