Biological Filtration: removes 7 log (99.99999%) of all bacteria like salmonella, cholera, and E. coli. And 6 log (99.9999%) of all Protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. You will find these removal rates to equal or exceed competitive options. EPA guidelines allow ten times more Protozoa left in the water than we allow.

Helpful Hints:

• If water is very dirty and full of particulate, use a cloth to prefilter the water.
• If water is very dirty & full of particulate, let the water stand in a separate container for a day, then decant water from the top.
• When using very dirty water, clean the filter after every bucketful or at least daily.
• If water is very dirty and full of particulate, only use 1 foot of hose.
• Do not store backwash syringe in the sun.
• Keep the top of the bucket covered, but not sealed.
• When drilling hole, make sure to de-burr (remove all excess plastic) from the hole. Not having a clean hole can cause a leak.
• If bucket leaks at the fitment, try moving the oring to the inside of the bucket.
• Only run water through the filter and not food products.

Inadequate sanitation and contaminated water are the leading cause of illness in travelers. To protect yourself, consider your drinking water carefully. Travelers should allow at least a half gallon of water per person per day. Water used for brushing your teeth and washing your food should also be included.

The Risks?

Under treated water can harbor microorganisms such as viruses (polio, hepatitis), bacteria (cholera, salmonella, streptococcus), and parasites (Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium). Exposure to these organisms can cause serious illness, and in some cases may be fatal.
