LifeStraw 10 l Water Purifier Bottle  (Blue)

Lifestraw family 2. 0 is the next generation of vestergaard’s high-volume point-of-use water filter. It converts microbiologically contaminated water into clean, safe drinking water, filtering up to 30, 000 litres of epa-quality water, enough to supply a family of five with clean drinking water for three to five years. Lifestraw 2. 0 is a durable, table top version of Lifestraw family. It includes a large dirty water storage tank and built in safe storage container with tap. Filter removes virtually all bacteria (99. 9999 percent), protozoan parasites (99. 99 percent) and viruses (99. 999 percent) that can contaminate water uses hollow fiber technology which meets the standard for the “highly protective” category of safe water interventions by the world health organization easy backwash cleaning system how it works: Lifestraw family 2. 0 uses advanced hollow fibre technology. Water is forced through narrow fibres under high pressure. Clean water exits through tiny pores in the walls of the hollow fibres, and deposits into the safe storage container. Viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and other contaminants are trapped inside the hollow fibres and are flushed out by backwashing. This is a highly efficient method of filtration. The 80 micron textile profiler removes coarser particles and is easy to clean. Dirty water storage tank has a 5 litre capacity. Backwashing of the membranes is done by pressing down on the cleaning lever. Dirty water flows to the small red tank. The dirty water should then be discarded. Ultra filtration takes place in the membrane cartridge – a pore size of 20 nanometre retains bacteria, viruses, parasites and fine dirt particles. Filtered water collects in the safe storage tank, which has a capacity of 5 litres. The storage tank can be opened for cleaning. The durable, field-tested tap provides and easy outlet for purified water. Note: Water from the red container should never be consumed.
