The author describes the development of solar cookers that can be used to pasteurize water in developing countries. After a new test was developed for testing coliforms it became possible to test the efficiency of the pasteurization process. Secondly, a safety device was developed that indicates when pasteurization temperatures are reached. The author cautions that having an effective safety indicator will not insure a safe water supply. Further steps are needed to insure that water will not be recontaminated by improper handling after removal from the solar box.
