Details & Specifications
The PF250
VersaWater’s flagship technology is the PF250, a prefabricated water treatment plant that packages all the innovative research from AguaClara into a single all-inclusive unit. The PF250 is designed for long-term use by the small under-resourced communities that serve more than 30 million Americans left behind by traditional utilities. As infrastructure costs continue to rise and natural disasters become more frequent, the PF250 is a reliable, affordable, and ready-to-deploy alternative at just the right size for 250 people.

Drinking Water That Meets EPA Standards
The PF250 effectively treats high turbidity surface water to meet EPA drinking water standards using advanced chemical dosing, integrated flocculation and clarification, and a unique filtration system. Fully gravity-driven, the PF250 requires no electricity to produce 70 thousand liters of clean water per day.
How it Works
The high-rate flocculator and clarifier are constructed with a unique geometry that arranges the baffles and plate settlers for maximum particle removal in a condensed space. The system is intentionally designed to be self-cleaning, have no moving parts, and operate efficiently with a low residence time.
The stacked rapid sand (StaRS) filter avoids the large space requirement of traditional sand filters by stacking sand layers vertically. The physical principles of pressure and siphoning are utilized for a distinctive backwash system that conserves water and eliminates the need for energy-intensive pumps.
The PF250 features innovative designs that transform conventional water treatment processes into a compact unit powered entirely by gravity.
The chemical dosing system uses hydraulic floats and a simple slider system to dispense the perfect amount of coagulant and chlorine for the incoming water flow rate. All components are visible and accessible to operators so they can easily measure flow, adjust doses, and make repairs.
