Adventure II Water Filter
How the Bottle works: The Adventure II Water Filter is a new technology, which will someday replace what most filters are made of today. Most filtration for waterborne parasites uses a membrane to screen out the microorganism. The membrane is rated by micron size (1 micron is 1/1,000 of a millimeter). The trouble with membranes is that they must screen out water borne parasites by making sure that the porosity of the membrane is smaller than the microorganism. Usually, a 2 to 3 micron membrane will suffice. The problem is that at that porosity, you often need a pump to push the water through the microscopic pores of the membrane, or at the least, suffer a significant pressure drop. Alternatively, a new method has been developed which falls under the heading: tortuosity. Like its name implies, the removal of the water borne parasite is accomplished by creating a path so tortuous that the microorganism becomes trapped.
Details:
- Holds up to 650 ml (22 oz.)
- Removes Chlorine taste
- Removes 99.9% of giardia and cryptosporidium
- Weight: 0.22 kg (7.76 ounces or 0.485 lbs.)
Performance: The Adventure II Water Filter removes 99.9% or greater of Cryptosporidium and Giardia Lamblia.
These are waterborne parasites. Giardia exists in 95% of all North American waters, regardless of visible purity. Nearly all water related illnesses in the wilderness are Giardia related. While bacteria and viruses have a difficult time surviving in wilderness waters (the UV rays from sunlight deactivate them) parasites such as Giardia can last for decades.
Sintered polymer technology: The Adventure II Water Filter is made of exceptionally small spheres of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW). These spheres are blended in a proprietary ratio with powdered activated carbon, zeolites and a proprietary compound, and then sintered at a temperature such that the spheres adhere to each other but do not lose their shape. That is, they are not melted together. The result is a polymer matrix that has literally millions of pathways. The pathways are so tortuous that the microorganisms become trapped inside, partly due to their irregular shapes (tubular in the case of Cryptosporidium), and partly because the polymer and the organisms have opposing electric charges, which attract each other. Once trapped and bonded, the organism, whose natural state is dormant, remains inside. Water flows through with only slight resistance because water is both liquid and symmetrical, thereby eliminating the need for a pump.
For traveling, walking, running, gym, hiking and biking, the Adventure II Water Filter is the perfect gift for the fit and healthy people in your life.
