Idea source:

We aim to create a portable, solar powered system that can be used to test the purity of water and has the capability to pump and filter it. The system will take note of the amount of contaminants in the water and will pump it through a filter into another chamber where it will be sanitized using UV light.

The data from the water purity sensor will be able be viewed on an LCD screen

These features may change as we proceed with building our prototype.
