    Top Water Systems (Ota-ku, Tokyo) will develop a new, smaller and lower-priced version of its TOP Rescue RO II (photo), a mobile water purification system for use during disasters.

The RO II is priced at 6 million yen (excluding consumption tax), and the new product aims to be priced at less than 1 million yen. We will continue to sell the ROII as our main product, but we will expand the market by adding compact products that can be installed in any location, including homes, in order to create a synergistic effect. The RO II has been improved to supply not only water for domestic use and drinking, but also sanitary water for medical use.
