Soft Water Solar System

In the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, we have hard water with high mineral content. To lower the calcium we use reverse osmosis. This method use energy and required constant maintenance and supervision.

We researched and found a low-temperature and low-pressure distillation water process as an option.

In this process we evaporate the water at temperatures of 45C,
