PAUL has a 10+ year lifetime, so it can also be used to build a PAUL STATION for a permanent water supply. Such a PAUL STATION offers communities, schools, hospitals and the local population the opportunity to reduce their water costs and additionally earn their own money. So far, more than 500 PAUL STATION arrangements have been installed worlwide.
