    I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

    seems like it could be "easy" to get unfiltered/dirty water contamination into the filtered compartment.....at least it isn't clear how you guarantee that you don't get incidental dirty water in the clean stage

    There's got to be an o-ring or some sort of a seal in order to force the water into the main cylinder and not out the sides hence why it looks like it takes some effort to compress the two parts. That said, if the outside of the cup is wet, unless you dry it out, you could be getting a drip or two of contaminated water. How much bacteria does one need to consume to cause a health risk?

    This looks cool and handy for when your out in the bush. I might have to pick one up and since I fill and sell 18.9L/5Gal jugs at work I could at lest find out the total dissolved solids of the filtered water from different sources( swamp water, cleanish lake water..etc) and maybe even get some samples properly tested.


    I see you sell replacement filters and purifiers, which would it come with? And would the purifier also double as a filter?

    I noticed a few people click through our website recently and I thought I would log in and answer any questions anyone has.

    Here are some videos for you to check out:

    Cheers
    Do you have lab data from a test by an independent company as to how many bacteria the filter leaves out at the end of stated useful life?

    It's my undestanding that once an electroadsorption filter is saturated, the bacteria simply flow through and effectiveness drops.

    Thanks

    It depends on the bacteria

    Filter it twice.

    Showed up as the first link against the Post #24's second video.

    I note that they didn't use the foam pre-filter, so maybe they botched other instructions too.
