Water Cycle

 

The Water Cycle is a tricycle mounted 3 stage filtration process unit capable of delivering 30 gallons of potable water in 30 minutes. We are in the 3rd generation of vehicle now, having built the original to respond to the Flint Water Crisis of 2016 and the continual human rights concern of widespread water shut offs in our (and other) neighborhood(s) across the City of Detroit.
