Power
Filter Bottle
Q. Why would I need the PowerFilter?
A. Some natural waters taste bad, and can be contaminated
by pollution, bacteria and parasites. Municipally treated water supplies
can contain chlorine, and chlorine by-products. The PowerFilter removes
these bad tastes, odors and contaminants and makes the water safe
and enjoyable to drink.
Q. Why is the PowerFilter better than bottled water?
A. Bottles of water are heavy, and can be hard for
many people to carry around. Often many people are around usable water
supplies, such as from city water, fountains, creeks or rivers etc.
If you had the PowerFilter, you would have a ready supply of fresh
great tasting water at your fingertips, right from any water source
(except sea water).
Q. How does it work?
A. The PowerFilter uses a combination of micro-filtration,
activated carbon, and other filter media to not only remove bad tastes,
sediment, heavy-metals, and bacteria.
Q. How do I use it?
A. Just fill the filter bottle with water, screw
on the top, squeeze and enjoy great water!
Q. How long does it last?
A. The filter is good for 500 liters, or approximately
130 gallons.
Q. How can I tell when I should change the filter?
A. Its easy, when the flow starts to slow, then it
is time to change the filter. If you use about two bottles a day,
just remember to change it approximately every six months.
Q. Has it been tested?
A. Yes it has passed rigorous testing by Spectrum
an independent labs. It is the only filter bottle on the market tested
to NSF standards. See online for details of water analysis reports.
Q. What does it remove?
A. Unlike cheap imitations that merely remove chlorine
tastes and odors, the PowerFilter actually purifies the water of bacteria,
and parasites in addition to tastes and odors. No other filter bottle
on the market removes these contaminants and also removes heavy metals,
and organic chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides (See list
of what it removes along with percentages, see chart).
