Purification Pop-Up Tents

The Purify Water Tent Provides Shelter and Clean Drinking Water

— January 23, 2013 — Lifestyle
Liu Zhuang has designed the Purfiy Water Tent to create clean water and to provide shelter. The aptly named tent is obviously a shelter, but if you look closely you’ll notice the many pipes that border it. These are used to turn dirty water into clean drinking water. First, the water is pumped through a cone at the top of the tent where the sun’s heat is used in the first round of cleaning. The water is then pumped down the pipes where it undergoes a second round of filtration before emerging as drinkable water on the other side.

This design could obviously benefit poorer countries, but even developed nations could find use for the Purfiy Water Tent. The tent could be deployed in the event of an emergency or used by campers.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Water Filtration - The Purify Water Tent demonstrates the potential for portable, self-sustaining water filtration systems that can be used in various settings.
2. Eco-friendly Shelter - The Purify Water Tent showcases the possibility for shelters that not only protect from the elements, but also promote sustainability and resource conservation.
3. Multifunctional Design - The Purify Water Tent highlights the trend for products with multiple functionalities, which can provide creative solutions for various needs in different settings.
Industry Implications
1. Emergency Response - The Purify Water Tent presents an opportunity for the emergency response industry to incorporate portable water filtration systems into their toolkit.
2. Outdoor Recreation - The Purify Water Tent offers potential for the outdoor recreation industry to integrate eco-friendly and self-sustaining shelters and other camping gear into their product lines.
3. Humanitarian Aid - The Purify Water Tent indicates potential for organizations focused on humanitarian aid to utilize multifunctional products that can provide shelter and clean water for disaster relief efforts.
