Life Saver Bottle Cleans Dirty Water
The way fresh water is supplied to disaster-hit regions could be revolutionized after a businessman invented a $400 bottle that makes foul-smelling water drinkable in seconds.
Michael Pritchard hopes that the bottle could be a life-saver for refugees in disaster regions where access to clean drinking water is vital. Four hours after Mr Pritchard launched his new “Life Saver” bottle at the DESI defense show in London Wednesday, he sold out his entire 1,000 stock.
The bottles, which can distill either 4,000 liters or 6,000 liters without changing the filter, will have huge benefits for soldiers who hate drinking iodine-flavored water.
Conventional filters can cut out bacteria measuring more than 200 nanometers but not viruses, which typically are 25 nanometers long. The Life Saver bottle can clean up any water using a filter that cuts out anything longer than 15 nanometers, which means that viruses can be filtered out without the use of chemicals.
