Tests Prove It!

When confronted with sewage-like test waters, all of our emergency desalination and water filters reliably removed life-threatening bacteria and viruses. When tested by the U.S. Air Force, the filters converted anthrax laden source water into pure drink, even removing the Anthrax antigen, a small DNA strand.  Our filters are now deployed worldwide and are in use by some of the U.S. Military's elite fighting forces.  Now this same next-generation technology is available to you.

Explanation of Testing Agents:

• Bacillus anthracis Sterne (Anthrax) is the bacteria strain referred to as anthrax. Even with more than 1.2 million bacteria per ml in the water overnight, no bacteria were detected in the drink. In addition, the anthrax antigen was not detected in the drink.
   

• The 0.4- to 1.0-micron pigment ink is the same size as common parasites. No passage was detected.
   

• E. coli is a bacteria strain. Even with 100 million per milliliter, none were detected in the drink.
   

• The M 13 and MS2 bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. No viruses were detected even with 1 billion per milliliter on the outside.

With over fifteen years of research, scientists have developed the world's first commercially viable forward osmosis membrane for emergency desalination and water filtration.  This membrane is used by NASA, the US Department of Defense, the United States Coast Guard and is now available to the public for use in emergency desalination situations.

Only one filter technology can reliably and safely filter the muddy or cloudy contaminated water frequently found in remote areas or during disaster scenarios. If you need to be prepared to filter the widest range of water sources – clear, muddy, brackish or ocean water – forward osmosis is the ideal solution.

Forward osmosis products out-perform the competition in these situations, because unlike other filter or purification technologies, they are virtually unaffected by the presence of mud or other suspended solids in the contaminated source water. Using an advanced membrane filter, our systems offer the highest purity available from any personal water filter. Yet because they operate passively without pressure, they do not clog, allowing virtually any water source to be used to provide clean, safe drink.
