From the page:
"Functionallity and use of design:
When water is sucked up it is met by ever finer textile filters in order to filter out dirt and sediments, as well as clusters of bacteria. In the centre of the pipe several medias, including iodine, will kill and withhold remaining bacteria, viruses and parasites, as well as improve the taste of the water. The main goal, to kill bacteria, is done up to log 7 - log 8, according to laboratory tests. Better than municipal tap water in many developed countries."

Although I think that a normal filter is better since you can purifie large quantities of water in order to cook etc. But, as they say, it's a great thing for the 3-world(inexpensive, easy to use, hard to break)...
"Users or consumers are defined as most people in the 3rd world, and they will benefit by having the possibility of clean water with this pipe filter. The worlds greatest killer is diarrhoeal diseases from bacteria like typhoid, cholera, e. coli, salmonella etc. With LifeStrawTM, which lasts for one persons annual needs of clean water, nobody needs to die from these diseases."
That's great! |
