Check out the Overland Journal (Fall 2009). They did a thorough evaluation of a few water purifiers. The tests included running several laboratory prepared samples, of varying degrees of contamination, of e-coli water through the filters. The water was then analyzed, post filtering, to see how much was removed by each filter. IMHO, very informative article.
Hi Gang,
Thought i'd resurrect this thread as the most appropriate place to question an purification method I just learned about: Puralytics SolarBag (http://puralytics.com/solarbag/).
This technology uses solar uv to run the process.
Further, the company has a powered (110 - 220v) led version for larger quantities. Not done any power analysis, but might be a candidate for vehicle powered water purification.
So, let the debate begin.............
pugslyyy: Actually, most of those questions are answered on their website (at least as far as solarbag is concerned since that is all I've read). Example: time to purify = 2.5 hrs (double in cloudy conditions), How to tell...die fades away, etc.
I bet most of your questions would be answered there.....
How much do they charge for that clear plastic bag?Hi Gang,
