Arrow Filters a minimum of 18,000 litres of water - provides safe drinking water for a family for three years (calculated approximately on a family's consumption of 15 litres water/day - considering an average family size of seven in Sub Saharan Africa where an adult man consumes up to three litres, an adult woman drinks at least two litres and five children, each consuming at least one litre water on a daily basis. We have also considered aspects like increased water intake by pregnant/ lactating women as well as manual labour in high temperatures)
