How It Works:
|
The hollow fiber filter traps particles, making it more effective than UV or chemical treatments for turbid or muddy water. Will not remove chemicals, radioactive materials, or particles smaller than 0.2 microns. Do not use to filter seawater, or, chemically contaminated water, such as water from mines or near large agricultural operations.
|
Ideal For:
|
Anyone hiking the back country, or, contestants on "Naked and Afraid."
|
Special Features:
|
Meets NSF protocol P-248. Pump self-cleans on every stroke; no back-flushing or filter-scrubbing ever required.
