I put the following question on the Enviroment site and realized I should have put it in engineering. The concensis was that it would be too expensive when cheaper water is available, which I assume means bottled water trucked in. I'd still like to know if the units could be redesigned to be run more efficiently and be mass produced should potable water NOT be available.
The military claims that some of it's units can remove hazardous chemicals as well as radioactive waste.
The question was posed:
Can the military's ROWPU be used for providing potable water anywhere?
I've read that, in Iraq, the Marine's Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units have removed cyanide and mustard-gas agents from Euphrates River water and created pure safe drinking water. I realize the output of these units are limited, but, can they be used daily for community drinking water here, where we're warned not to drink our slightly radioactive well water
