THE BIG QUESTION IS: Water PURIFICATION or Water FILTRATION?

Do I need a Water PURIFIER or a Water FILTER ?

YOU HAVE TWO EXCELLENT CHOICES DEPENDING ON YOUR NEED!

CHOICE #1. If you will be drinking wilderness water (lakes, streams, or ponds) in addition to tap or bottled water, we recommend the Sawyer® Viral Water PURIFIER . This filter/PURIFIER removes 99.99999% of Bacteria, 99.9999% of Protozoa and Cysts, and 99.997% of Viruses. (DRP item 691-SP190)

CHOICE #2 If you are only using treated, tap or bottled water, then you only need the Sawyer® Biological Water FILTER to further filter your tap or bottled water. This filter removes 99.99999% of Bacteria and 99.9999% of Protozoa and Cysts. (DRP item 690-SP180) .

CHOICE #1 The Sawyer® Point02™ VIRAL Water Purifier 02 MICRON ABSOLUTE HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE INLINE FILTER/PURIFIER AND BUCKET ADAPTER KIT.–– A Deeper Roots recommendation for the HIGHEST level of protection!

Product Description and specs

This Sawyer® Water PURIFIER feature a 0.02 Micron Absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane which uses medical technology developed from kidney dialysis. When the water is drawn through the filter it flows through the side walls of the Hollow Fiber tubes. Sediment, bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and other contaminants are filtered out exceeding all applicable EPA recommendations.

Simply follow the enclosed directions for use and attach to any bucket or pail to yield bacteria/virus-free water in remote locations. This NEW viral filter, 0.02 micron; no chemicals needed, rated for One MILLION Gallons.  Handles up to 40 PSI but flow is easy enough to drink direct orally.  Low cost and high volume.  Will put and end to Typhoid and Cholera for an incredibly low cost.  > 5.5 log viral, fully EPA tested.

Back washing is not required often unless you are filtering very turbid water. Back washing only takes a few seconds and the simple bulb is included. NO REPLACEMENT FILTERS OR CARTRIDGES ARE NECESSARY. We believe you will thoroughly enjoy the ease and extra protection this proven next generation technology offers you.

Mini-review by Howard Lisech:

"At Last! A water purifier that is safe, fast (imagine 5 gallons in under 42 minutes), lightweight, highly effective-yet inexpensive. However, it can provide the safe drinking water (free of bacteria and waterborne viruses) needed for overseas teams. It is safe even for medical uses.

After leading several work teams overseas in various countries, this is the very best, light weight, low-cost, highly effective water filter with documented VIRUS protection that I have ever seen! Just use this kit with a plastic bucket that you can procure in most any country.

When your STM trip is over you can leave this "water purification system" as a gift that can provide clean water to an entire village, church, or small community. LEAVE A GIFT THAT CAN SAVE LIVES!"
