Our Filters are silver impregnated:
- Will not permit bacteria growth-through (mitosis)
- provides a hostile environment for all microbiological organisms and will not support their growth
Performance Features:
- Easy installation
- Good flow rate / Up to 1 gallon of clean water per hour (gravity flow)
- Good flow rate / Up to 3 gallons of clean water per hour (hand pressure pump)
- Up to 300 gallons per hour (High pressure flow)
- Filter will accept water from floods, lake, rain, wells, tap, river or stream
- Semi/Annual filter replacement
- Ceramic elements may be cleaned 100 or more times with a soft brush or damp cloth.
Our filters will not remove viruses due to their extremely small size
and are not capable of desalinization (removal of salt).
They also will not remove radiation from the water.
