Basic Water Needs research and development efforts have resulted in the Tulip siphon water filter. This innovative low cost water filter has been successfully introduced in more than ten countries now.

What makes this water filter different is the low cost, a fast filtration flow of 5 litres per hour, an end of life indicator, a nano silver impregnation technology and the small volume and weight of the product.

Further important features are the innovative cleaning system for the ceramic element (backwashing), excellent bacterial removal till the end of life of the ceramic filter element and a washable pre filter.

The company specialises into the development and manufacturing of affordable safe drinking water solutions for low income groups in developing countries. These solutions do not require electricity and are using gravity as the driving force.

Other new innovative products are under development now.
