If you have been watching news on TV lately, you must have noticed the floods in the continental USA. Just now, I’m reading a story on CNN about residents of a small town in Illinois struggling with water as they use sandbags to make barriers for protection. One thing I’ve noticed is, that the reporters are talking about drinking water shortage. What an irony, water allover but you can’t drink it. Or can you?
Fortunately, you can. But with a little help of the Katadyn Pocket Water Filter. Here’s the official description of this product: Tough enough to handle heavily silted water, the Katadyn Pocket Microfilter has a cleanable ceramic filter element that filters down to 0.2 microns, removing all known disease-causing bacteria and protozoa from your drinking water without the use of chemicals. Designed with few moving parts and an easy-maintenance design, it’s the water filter of choice for traveling professionals and those who can’t afford the Giardia diet plan deep in the backcountry. New features include a round pump handle for comfortable use and a bottle clip on the outlet hose.
That means you can go out, put this filter’s pump into any source of water, pump it and on the other side there comes out pure drinking water. Perfect for an emergency situation like these floods. Can be also used outdoors or when traveling. And you can pump up to 15.000 gallons of water before filter replacement. Yes, these babies are quality made Switzerland products you can rely on.
