WATALUX is a social enterprise whose mission is to produce & distribute technologies that improve the health of vulnerable communities. WATA technology is based on a simple electrolysis process that transforms salt water into an active chlorine solution (5g/L), used to treat drinking water, or disinfect wounds, objects & surfaces. Thanks to the WATA range, thousands of hospitals, humanitarian organizations & field operators are combating nosocomial diseases & the spread of water-borne illnesses.
Based in Geneva, WATALUX is a spin-off of the Fondation Antenna. WATA devices can produce active chlorine from table salt, utltimately used to clean water of pathogenic contamination or to disinfect surfaces. WATALUX products have been used in more than 100 countries to treat drinking water in rural areas, as well as in emergency humanitarian aid (e.g. Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit, ICRC, MSF) and development projects (e.g. UNICEF, GIZ, Enabel). WATALUX expertise includes field visit and sizing of water supply solutions, kits transport & installations, end-user training and after sales maintenance, and activity reporting. To disseminate WATA technology, train operators and provide a good maintenance/repair service, WATALUX works with a network of local partners. A team based in Geneva ensures quality product manufacturing, up-to-date and innovative research and development, project management and international logistics. Thanks to the WATA products range, allowing to produce active chlorine solution volume of 0.5L up to 60L in 2h, thousands of hospitals, humanitarian organizations & field operators are combating nosocomial diseases & the spread of water-borne illnesses.
