Question 6

What is an RO water plant?

Accepted Answer

RO stands for Reverse Osmosis — a water purification technology that removes contaminants, bacteria, viruses, and dissolved solids from water using a semi-permeable membrane. The result is clean, safe drinking water. Iris Foundation installs these plants in schools where access to safe water is a challenge.

A typical RO plant installation takes 1–3 days, depending on the school's infrastructure. Our team handles the entire process including assessment, installation, testing, and staff training.

Question 8

Who maintains the RO plants after installation?

Accepted Answer

Iris Foundation provides initial maintenance training to school staff. We also conduct periodic monitoring visits to ensure plants are functioning correctly. Filter replacements and maintenance schedules are provided to each school.

Question 9

How do you select which schools receive RO plants?

Accepted Answer

We prioritize schools based on: lack of existing clean water access, student population size, geographic vulnerability, and community need. We work with local education authorities and community leaders to identify the most impactful placements.
