What are Ceramic Filters?
Our Ceramic Water Filters are made of diatomaceous earth which when compressed prevents anything larger than 0.5 microns from penetrating the filter shell. Our ceramic water filter shell contains silver, which is a natural bactericide.
In repeated laboratory tests done by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 99.99% of all bacterial samples were removed from the test water only by using our filters.

Why should Travelers Beware?
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. Which can significantly increase the total amount of water needed on a daily basis to stay healthy.
