Living in a modern first world country, we take the availability and abundance of clean pure water for granted.  We don’t even think about it, we just turn on the tap, fill our glass and drink.  Government agencies regulate the potable water providers to ensure it meets the minimum requirements for human consumption by setting standards for contaminants and by requiring periodic testing to ensure those requirements are met. 

But what happens if that supply of potable water is interrupted or compromised due to contamination through accident, natural disaster or deliberate destruction?   Clean, pure water is one of the first relief items to be supplied because water is not only essential to life, but if compromised is also a primary vector of biological and chemical contaminants that causes illness and death.

In modern times in the United States, disasters have been local or regional in extent and relief is mobilized within hours or at worst a few days to mitigate the suffering.  But what if the disaster is national or international.  There are credible scenarios where a large-scale electrical grid disruption would have a devastating effect on the entire population because among other things, no power means no clean water supply.  The WaterMill provides an effective and affordable preparedness appliance to guarantee a continuing supply of potable water as long s there is a source of surface water (pond, lake, stream, ditch, rain, etc.) and the sun.
