Cleaning water the African way…

'Jompy’ Village Water Boiler” title=”The ‘Jompy’ Village Water Boiler” class=”aligncenter size-full wp-image-77″ />If you have anything to do with Zimabwe at all you would have known or at least heard the noise made about the cholera epidemic that swept rural Zimbabwe right up to the most modern of suburbs. A few thousand people are reported to have died from this. Affluent people scrambled to dig their own wells and boreholes in their back gardens to get away from the so-called untrustworthy utility companies.
The united nations called it a tragedy that was man-made, the powers that be in Zimbabwe said the west introduced it as part of some covert operation to distabilise the Southern African country. Either way you look at it, all sides agreed it was a problem.
No sooner had the dust settled on this blame-game than yours truly was alerted to the fact that there might actually be a solution to this problem. No not the political problem but the clean water problem. A friend of mine told me of one inventor in Scotland that had come up with a neat way to boil water and get it as fresh as can be in super-quick time. His instrument uses the same modern technologies we use in rural areas like 3 stone fires and such, except we had not used them in that way before.
I was quick to go meet the gentleman who turns out to have much more in common with me than I had imagined before meeting up with him. Usually inventors look like Einstein to me, but here was a regular bloke with a neat idea that could save the world soon!

Hello?? You What? Who? Jompy? Yes my friends the equipment is called a jompy, I should remember to ask him next time how he came up with that name! It is so easy to use and from the picture you can see the pan-like shape and two pipes leading to the pan-head. The pipes are hollow to carry water and coiled at the flat end. One only needs to run water through the pipes, put it on top of a 3-stone fire, go about their normal cooking ways and meanwhile the water passing through the coiled pipes will be heated, boiled and comes out the other end clean and fresh for drinking and or other hot water uses. Apparently on a 3 stone fire it takes up to 35minutes to cook sadza and in that time up to 45 – 60 litres of water would have been boiled. Perfect! I mean that sure beats the boiler at one of the council flats in Wolverhampton that I had the misfortune of residing in, but that’s a whole other story altogether!
I will be going for a personal live demontration on the jompy soon and will be sure to update all of you my friends. Until then you can look at a brief summary of the jompy and also watch a video about how its works here.
