Abstract The invention provides an apparatus for providing potable water, which apparatus comprises a plurality of components linked in series to provide a flow path through the apparatus, wherein the plurality of components comprises:(i) an inlet (4) for a stream of contaminated water requiring purification;(ii) a centrifugal separator (20) for separating the contaminated water stream into a partially purified water stream and a contaminant stream;(iii) a pre-filter pump (26);(iv) a pre-filter pressure sensor (30);(v) a first filter assembly (32) comprising one or more filter modules for removing particles of a predetermined size and/or removing organic contaminants from the partially purified water stream;(vi) a post-filter pressure sensor (38);(vii) a post-filter pump (40);(viii) a second filter assembly comprising one or more reverse osmosis filters (48);(ix) a UV steriliser unit (52); and(x) an outlet (6) for purified potable water;and wherein the apparatus further comprises an electronic controller (14) for controlling and monitoring the operation of the apparatus.
