  1. Emergency Water Purification for Healthcare, Government and Campuses

  2. Who is First Water • We ensure the availability of potable water for: • Hospitals • Emergency Management • First Responder Response • International Infrastructure • Philanthropic Organizations • Sustainability • Disaster Relief • We are headquartered in Atlanta, GA with an additional operation office in Winston Salem, NC. • We provide both portable and stationary water purification systems that operate on AC, DC and solar power. All products are manufactured in North Carolina. • We manufacture in an ISO 9001 facility in Sanford, NC and have our laboratory for emerging technologies in Greensboro, NC.

  3. Why First Water • In hospitals, the First Water solutions support Joint Commission requirements to sustain healthcare facilities in an emergency, including prevention of diversion, cancellation of services, evacuation, etc. • The solutions have been designed specifically for hospital and critical infrastructure needs, including innovative space-saving designs and patented safety features • For government applications, the mobile, flexible solutions provide for quick resource deployment by Public Health, EMA, Fire, port authorities, special agencies, military operations, etc. • The solutions are very cost-effective, with the systems able to be used over and over during future emergencies by simply changing inexpensive filters • The First Water systems offer a “green” solution, without the tens of thousands of plastic water bottles used after an event • Bottled water from vendors is expensive, cannot be relied upon, and stockpiled bottled water must be rotated and bottles leak

  4. The Clean Water Process • Mechanical Filtration: • Contaminated fresh water is mechanically cleaned and made clear through multi-stage filtration • Carbon block for odor-free and great tasting water. • Zeonic Virus Media: • Removes micro-biology including viruses, bacteria and cysts. • Has been proven effective against viruses as small as 0.019 microns. • Disinfection: • Biological contaminates such as bacteria are neutralized by exposure to Ultraviolet light at levels up to 40mj/cm2 • Optional Flex-Chlorinator

  5. Source Water Municipally Treated: Some sediment from tank. Municipally Treated: Little or no sediment. Not Treated: Sediment will cause more filter changes. Escalation of Event

  6. Water Quality US Government • Certified to USEPA NSF P248 and P231 • US Army Center for Health and Preventative Medicine State Government • North Carolina State Department of Public Health • Alabama Department of Public Health Private Labs and Universities • MicrobacLabratories • Triad Forensics • University of Arizona • Chemtech-Ford Laboratories Foreign Governments • Mexico • Honduras

  7. Products: The FW-60 • 1 gpm / 60 gph • Rugged Pelican case • External applications • Vehicle use, evacuation and triage support, mobile medical teams • Internal applications • Sustains critical facility operations and sheltering in place

  8. Products: The FW-120 • 2 gpm / 120 gph • Onboard pump • Rugged Pelican case • Wall mount option • External applications • Vehicle use, evacuation and triage support, mobile medical teams • Internal applications • Sustains critical facility operations and sheltering in place

  9. Products: The FW-300 • 5gpm / 300 gph • Onboard pump • Rugged Pelican case • Optional solar power module • High capacity purification in an easy to transport package

  10. Products: The FW-1200-M • 20 gpm / 1,200 gph • Fits in an SUV, minivan or pickup truck • Wheeled frame for easy transport • Specially designed high strength pump works efficiently with intermittent and continually cycling “gray power” from generator.

  11. Support Products • Supply StationTM • Used to hold untreated water prior to cleaning by a First Water system • 300 or 3,000 gallon capacities • Filling StationTM • used to distribute cleaned water coming from an FW-1200 or FW-300 • Four or Eight taps for multiple lines of people • AquaBagsTM • 1.5 gallon vessel to distribute clean water (folds flat) • Flex-ChlorinatorTM • Adds chlorine to water for residual disinfection or when required

  12. Potable Water Bladders Potable water bladders provide a simple and easy mechanism for storing treated water prior to distribution. They provide efficient solutions to many tasks like managing peak loads, reducing mechanical operations during night shifts, and operation multiple sites with limited equipment.. • NexGenTM Reusable Bladder • Potable water storage • Disposable inner liner eliminates sanitation concerns • 500 gallon capacity • Potable Water Bladder • Potable water storage • Available in 300, 600 and 2,000 gallon sizes

  13. Clean Sip Straws • Reduces contaminants such as e. coli, giarida, cysts and fluoride as well as metals and sediment. • Stage 1: 0.2 micron absolute filtration • Stage 2: Electro-chemical oxidation • Stage 3: Activated carbon • Durable and reusable • Effective for 6 months of use or 200 gallons • Shipped in bulk packaging of 100 or 1,000 • Cost effective • Independently certified The concept is simple. Advanced filtration technology is packaged inside a drinking straw housing. 0.2 micron absolute filtration reduces many bacterial contaminants including crypto and protozoan cysts. Electro-chemical oxidation reduction further purifies the water by reducing remaining bacteria and heavy metals. Activate carbon provides a final polishing of the water.

  14. Training Packages First Water offers training packages designed to equip your team with the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully deploy your equipment during a water disruption. Our implementation experts travel to your location and provide a comprehensive training program while addressing the specific needs of your site. • Basic Training $2,400 msrp • Year 1: One Onsite Course • Extended Training - $3,500 msrp • Year 2: Site Specific Course • Year 3: Site Specific Course • Year 4: One Onsite Course and Equipment Inspection*

  15. Flexible Facility Housed Solution • HCF (Health care Facility) packages: • Equipment is to be housed in the facility. • Package sizes based on bed count and number of persons anticipated to be in the facility during an emergency, including patients, visitors, staff and surge.

  16. Mobile Configuration Mobile Trailer Solutions (facilitates fast and easy deployment of systems)

  17. Trailer Based Solutions • MTS (Mobile Trailer Solution) packages: • Trailer based equipment that can be parked outside the facility if no storage is available, or to be available for rapid movement to another facility.
