EOS International’s water purification systems use locally sourced chlorine tablets to disinfect drinking water. Water chlorination has been recognized by the WHO as one of the safest, low-cost, and effective methods of treating drinking water. Additionally, our market-based chlorine tablet distribution program creates income opportunities for entrepreneurs.
An EOS technician delivers chlorine to more than 50 chlorine distribution centers throughout Honduras and Nicaragua. These centers receive the new tablet delivery from EOS, and provides the EOS technician with a report of last month’s sales, along with the repayment of sold tablets at cost. The chlorine distribution centers then sell tablets from their home or storefront where neighboring communities travel to purchase the tablets. In other cases, the distribution center delivers tablets to communities by motorcycle or bus. EOS technicians also call the chlorine distribution centers to receive an up-to-date report on tablet inventory to keep our records updated and accurate.
