damn that looks stupid easy to use! I like it! price is really decent too!
 
im a noob to these systems, will silty/cloudy/stagnant water work as well?

Sweet. If I have 10000 bateria in my cup, it gives 90% chance of filtering all of them.

What if I have a million bacteria?

No, it's "99.99" % lol....

if you have 100,000 bacteria in your H2o , It will still remove 99.99 % So you got a 0.01 % that it will not remove it all.




I am going to get me one of them, sure better then my setup that I use right now.

was wondering this too, i was thinking about buying one of those lifesavers but i'm liking this one a bit more just because it's something i could use every day at work but still bring with me when i go camping/hunting etc..

Very cool. Would still need some kind of treatment for stagnant water though as this does nothing to viruses. Boil or tablet ( which is ironic because you are removing the chemicals from the water before hand)

It doesn't quite work that way, not to mention your numbers and math are slightly off. Not all bacteria are the same size, nor do they react to the media the same. Even if someone invented a device that could filter 100 percent of the known bacteria in the world they lawyers would still say 99.99 percent. If it said 99.98 percent then I would be a little concerned.
 
What is the pore size (microns) of the G3+ technology?
Pore size is not relevant to G3+ technology; it's like asking how much horsepower a laptop computer has. Pore size is relevant in 'mechanical filters', which work by forcing water through tiny pores in a filter. In a mechanical filter, the biggest pore must be smaller than the smallest germ. The downside of mechanical filters is that tiny pores prevent rapid flow of water, so mechanical filters work slowly or require lots of pressure. Instead, G3+ technology uses electroadsorption; relatively large pores overlaid with a positively-charged mesh (think: little magnets) that latch onto germs. The result is fast-flowing, clean water so you can Drink Freely.
