Treat contaminated water at the point of use
SANI-AMANZI combines high-level oxidation (manufacturer documentation highlights potassium peroxymonopersulfate triple salt chemistry) with inorganic coagulant aids. The first phase targets waterborne bacteria, viruses, and cysts; the parallel phase neutralises charges on colloidal dirt and binds heavy metals such as arsenic, iron, and problematic fluoride species into settleable floc.
Because the route is non-chlorine, treated water avoids the taste rejection and disinfection-by-product issues that drive communities away from halogen tablets. That matters when compliance means people must actually drink the water you treated.
Ubuntu supplies sachets and bulk bags for households, municipalities, NGOs, and disaster clusters that need a repeatable five-step field protocol rather than ad hoc scoop dosing.
From single buckets to bulk treatment
6 g sachets
Each sachet is aligned to about 20 litres of water when used as directed in your protocol.
5-pack sachet boxes
Convenient for distribution programmes and household starter kits.
1 kg bulk bags
Larger scale treatment (e.g. on the order of 3 000 L per pack where the technical sheet confirms dilution for your water matrix).
Five steps every operator follows
- Collect 20 L of raw water in a clean vessel.
- Dose one sealed 6 g sachet (or bulk equivalent from your dosing chart).
- Agitate vigorously for 1–2 minutes to dissolve actives and start flocculation.
- Rest 30 minutes undisturbed for kill kinetics and settling.
- Decant / filter the supernatant through a clean cloth into a storage container; never drink the sludge layer that concentrates metals and debris.
Targets cited in lab packs
SANAS-recognised laboratory work quoted by the manufacturer demonstrates aggressive reduction of faecal coliforms, including Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and generic E. coli down to near-zero counts per 100 mL when the dwell time is respected.
Developers also highlight retained performance against selected antibiotic-resistant phenotypes, relevant where superbugs move through informal water networks.
Why programmes pick powder
Drinking-water fit
Treated water aligned to SANS 241-1:2015 style limits and WRC “Good Water Quality” class statements in manufacturer submissions for household use.
Manufacturing assurance
ISO 9001:2015 certified production (certificate numbers referenced in marketing packs) underpins batch-to-batch consistency for tenders.
Freight & carbon story
One truck of sachets can cover tens of millions of litres versus bottled water convoys, cutting plastic waste and emergency logistics cost.
Packaging ladder
6 g × 20 L, retail 5-pack (100 L household buffer), and 1 kg bulk (~3 000 L) for community tanks and disaster stacks.
Safety notes
Never swallow dry powder, protect eyes, and do not mix with random acids, ammonia, or other household chemicals because pH shocks kill both oxidation and flocculation.
Training kits
Ubuntu can co-design pictorial SOPs, community trainer decks, and M&E sampling plans alongside your WASH partner.
Programmes that need documentation
We help align certified treatment narratives with procurement, field teams, and monitoring requirements. For depth on the water pillar, see water purification.
Technical pack
Request the protocol summary and, where available, the full technical guidelines for your context.
Municipal & emergency
Conversations for boreholes, trucked water, and temporary supply lines.
Traceable supply
Named product lines and batch-aware procurement where your governance requires it.
