Our Mission
Becoming the Global Strategy Partner of Choice for In-Line Chlorination
The Urgent Challenge
Microbial contamination is the primary factor limiting access to safe drinking water globally. Fecal contamination undermines water quality and health, leaving over 2 billion people relying on systems that could be transformed to safely managed water access with in-line chlorination. Conventional treatment methods are either too expensive or are incompatible with existing infrastructure in many low- and middle-income countries. The reality is stark: billions lack access to safely managed drinking water, and this challenge demands a sustainable, cost-effective solution.
In-Line Chlorination Can Change That
At Mangrove Water, we believe that in-line chlorination is the key to turning the tide on access to safe water. This low-cost, sustainable approach precisely doses chlorine directly into existing water distribution systems without the need for electricity, providing consistent, passive disinfection for microbial contamination that keeps water safe after initial treatment during transport and storage. Our comprehensive, start-to-finish implementation support ensures that every in-line chlorination project is primed for success—no matter the scale.
Our Approach
We drive change through a three-pronged strategy that empowers communities, organizations, and practitioners worldwide:
-
Open-Source Resources: We are committed to building a robust foundation for in-line chlorination globally. By sharing our technical know-how and project experience through curated, open-source resources, we empower practitioners with the knowledge needed to implement these systems effectively.
-
-
Comprehensive Guidance: From site assessments and installation to monitoring and evaluation, Mangrove Water provides expert guidance at every step. Our hands-on support ensures that each project is tailored to the unique needs of the community it serves, driving timely and efficient improvements in water quality.
-
-
We focus on developing and disseminating cost-effective, open-source chlorinators that can be deployed in even the most underserved regions. One of our flagship innovations, the TuriTap, exemplifies this commitment.

Open Source Technologies: The TuriTap
The TuriTap is our innovative, open-source, liquid chlorine in-line chlorination device. It accurately and passively doses chlorine into drinking water by harnessing the Venturi effect—a principle of fluid dynamics that enables chlorine dosing without the need for electricity. This innovative design not only reduces operational costs but also extends the reach of safe water solutions to off-grid and resource-limited areas.
The TuriTap is currently for sale by Davis & Shirtliff in East Africa. To receive updates on the product launch or for further details, please visit our Contact page.
