SafeTap
Waterborne illness is a leading cause of child mortality.
Our SafeTap filter is a solution.Project41 has been on a mission to reach the world’s most vulnerable communities with access to safe and reliable water since 2014.
Whether it is for a family, school, health center, or community point of access, the SafeTap filter is a revolutionary solution to the global water crisis.
For over ten years, Project41 founder Andy Pierce traveled around the world installing large scale water filtration systems at health centers in the developing world. While these types of systems work very well, most health centers can’t afford the maintenance, let alone the cost, of a large water filtration system. The need for a smaller, more affordable device was very apparent.
This led to the development of the SafeTap, featuring all the same technology of these larger systems in a compact and extremely cost-effective device.
A perfect safe water solution for low-resource settings.
Along with being extremely effective, our SafeTap filter is designed to be easily constructed in-country, which can provide jobs to the local economy.
The Technology
Our SafeTap water filtration system is robust, easy to use, and operates under very low pressures. Utilizing advanced hollow fiber membrane technology, the system removes 99.99999% of all bacteria, protozoa, and cysts.
Our unique integrated backflush means this system can provide a near endless supply of clean, safe water.
At 3 gpm the system is perfect for homes, schools, health centers, or community point of access.

The SafeTap assists communities and healthcare facilities in providing clean water for their needs, improving the health of vulnerable families and preventing infections.
“I have personally tested the water from the device in Uganda, where it provided clean water free of pathogens, and it works excellently… I highly recommend the use of the SafeTap water system in providing clean water to vulnerable people.

"A few of the SafeTap filters made the journey to conflicted-affected areas where our local partners navigated the security situation to provide clean drinking water to very vulnerable populations."
