Having clean drinking water is something that many of us might take for granted, especially for those of us who happen to live in a First World country. If you have ever made a trip to Third World and developing countries, you would know just how some people live with seemingly dirty water, and have to literally make do with what they have. With the NKD AQUA POD, it is one device which basically allows you to transform ordinary tap water into pure mountain quality spring water as you drink, or so it is claimed. The NKD AQUA POD is a Kickstarter project that is also the first of its kind in the world when it comes to portable water filtration as you will find out in greater detail below.

Just how is your water filtered and supercharged? Well, it claims to use “a 100% natural clean and green purification process” as you drink. While the standard issue water bottle’s structure has more or less remained the same for so many years, the NKD AQUA POD was developed with an intention to not only be functional, but pleasing to the eyes as well, resulting in a bottle for modern living. After all, what is the point of having the self-proclaimed “world’s best water” if it does not end up in the “world’s best bottle”?

The NKD AQUA POD works by sending water that you drink through a patent pending filter that is a snap to change, where it is touted to do away with chlorine taste and odor, not to mention filtering out around 99% of the bacteria in the water. It can also filter out heavy metals as long as the water you are drinking is from the municipal tap, while the gritty carbon taste that you normally experience from other carbon filters are also done away with. Not only that, your tongue will enjoy supercharged water with natural minerals and electrolytes that can be found in nature, and it uses the safest, most technologically advanced plastics which are FDA-approved plastics.

We might take clean drinking water for granted in the country that we live in, but to put things into perspective the next time you complain that there’s nothing to eat in your fridge, and the only drink you have is water, bear in mind that over 1 billion folks lack regular access to safe drinking water, and this figure is not shrinking. On the contrary, it is growing all the more. Apart from that, around 6,000 children die each day no thanks to disease associated with lack of access to safe drinking water. The news does not get any rosier though, as it is estimated that by the time 2025 rolls around, over 5 billion people will not have access to regular and sufficient supplies of safe drinking water. There is a bright ray of hope, however, as we take a closer look at the Pure ROK.

The Pure ROK will incorporate state-of-the-art design alongside low-cost manufacturing techniques, where the Pure ROK units do not carry any moving parts at all, and not only that, there are no pumps nor filters as well. It does not need any lithium ion battery source, but rather, it relies on the sun itself in order to convert fouled water. Even better news is this – seawater too, is not exempt from the Pure ROK’s transforming capability, turning it into clean, pure drinking water via an innovative and highly effective evaporation, condensation and collection process.

A snap to operate and not only that, the Pure ROK is easy to maintain, individual Pure ROK units are capable of churning out an average of between 6 to 10 gallons of pure water per 24 hour period under normal to high sunlight conditions. Of course, when winter comes, the amount of sunlight available in a day drops, so you can expect less amount of water than that. 6 to 10 gallons should be more than enough to equip a family of 8 with adequate amounts of safe and pure drinking water.
