Providing affordable fresh water by the sea & sun.

Pine Cay is an privately owned island that includes the exclusive resort Pine Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was the site of the first tourist development in the Turks and Caicos, planned in the 1950s. The old Meridian Club now called Pine Cay was established in the early 1970s. Island transportation is by electric golf cart and bicycle. The main beach is 2 miles (3.2 km) long.

The Turks and Caicos have a few freshwater reserves at ground level. On limestone islands, which are mostly flat and low lying, there are no possibilities for large scale surface storage. In addition, groundwater may be present in thin lens-shaped bodies. These lenses are found in a very delicate equilibrium with saline seawater and can be destroyed by improper extraction, drought or tidal waves. Rainfall is limited, hence the development relies on desalination to ensure sufficient fresh water.

By implementing the Elemental Water Source, our containerized, solar-powered desalination solution, access to sustainable water using only the seawater and plentiful sunshine has now been secured.
