WATER FILTER SPECS

Specifications

This ceramic water filter is affordable and will filter out 100% of Giardia, E. Coli, Vibrio Cholerae and 25+ other harmful substances. The filtration efficiency is 0.2 micron, so it filters out all bacteria, and most if not all viruses. So you could put mud puddle water in here, with dog feces, and safely drink it (according to the president of the company, he watched a man from the field do just that!). And because of the charcoal in the filter, it actually makes it taste good too.

Ceramic Filter is Manufactured to meet:
