Clean Water for Thousands of People In Haiti

Since the earthquake the American aid organisation, "Water Mission International" has been working intensively on installing purchased Grundfos SQFlex pumping systems in Haiti.

The organisation has co-operated with Grundfos for several years and was already installing SQFlex systems in Haiti. This is why they already had four relief workers in Haiti when the earthquake happened. Together with a team of volunteers who were quickly flown to Haiti, they initiated work on finding suitable places to install the pumps. Seven days after the earthquake the first two pumping systems had already been installed. In the following days two pumps a day were installed and so far a total of nine pumps have been installed. Another three pumps have arrived in Haiti and they will be installed as soon as suitable places are found. Additional 20 pumping systems are in transit and ready to be flown to Haiti.

In addition to these pumping systems, the Poul Due Jensen Foundation recently decided to donate 20 SQFlex pumping systemt to the relief work in Haiti. In this way Grundfos pumps in the near future will provide clean water for several of the people affected by the Haiti earthquake.

The SQFlex systems consist of SQ pumps driven by solar energy. In addition a chlorine cleansing unit is added to the system and so the pumping systems can deliver clean drinking water immediately to the thirsty people of Haiti, making a difference here and now.
