GoSun Flow Purifies "99.99% Pathogens From Water"

Image
GoSun recently launched the Flow, a solar-powered water purifier that is small enough to fit in a backpack but produces enough clean water to wash your dishes or even take a show. It's the world's first portable solar-powered purifier yet small enough to fit in a backpack. Instead of manual pumping, a USB-powered pump enables the delivery of water to wherever you need it. For good measure, it includes a power bank that supplies to power the pump but can also run off a mobile phone or be charged directly by a solar charger (like this).  And it purifies water well. Really well. Like, 9999 parts per 10,000 of water-born pathogens well. E nergy Live News has a rundown of how effectively the Flow does its job: The purification of one liter of water is estimated to take approximately one minute. Patrick Sherwin, Founder and CEO of GoSun, said: “We believe that now is the time to work together, innovate, and create products that make the world cleaner and more re

Dr. Anthony Fauci saidthe following: "When you gradually come back, you don’t jump into it with both feet. You say what are the things you could still do and still approach normal.

Our newest product, the Flow (available for pre-order now), is a solar-powered water purifier that also makes for a portable hand washing station. The Flow doesn't only purify water with solar power. It acts as an entire kitchen sink that can fit into a backpack. Your handwashing station now goes everywhere you do. But it does so much more than that.Here are more things the Flow is capable of: Purify water: Filter removes 99.99% of p

Reconsidering Off-Grid Cooking and Cooking in Light of Social Distancing

Because there is currently no vaccine or formally approved medical treatment for COVID-19, authorities have stressed the need for social distancing. Johns Hopkins describes it as "deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness. Staying at least six feet away from other people." Most Americans are currently working from home and avoiding stores, with the exception of grocery stores, hardware stores, and other places with essential items. But even with limited contact at these retail locations and proper practice of social distancing, the possibility of COVID-19 transmission still exists. We at GoSun have always supported off-grid cooking and cooling. In the past, we posted articles about using off-grid items to help survive grid failure during wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. In light of the global coronavirus pandemic, we're now thinking about ways that off-grid technology can help us with this current c
