THE FACTS
The top-line
Each Water-to-Go filter cartridge lasts for 200 litres, or 3
months.
Filters are manufactured from a non woven media that is also called
a charged layer membrane. Our filters were developed at the behest
of NASA and are constructed utilizing nano technology. Nano alumina
along with 33 % carbon and other filtration ingredients are utilized
to bring about this amazing new patented process. The nano alumina
emits a positive charge when wet and attracts the negative charged
contaminants of protozoa, bacteria and virus. This revolutionary new
process will make every drop of water more safe and refreshing.
Finally a filter that really does what its supposed to do.
Unlike carbon block filters that lose as much as 70 percent of their
area to the adhesives that hold the block together our carbon has
zero adhesives holding it in place. The pore sizes of carbon block
based filters are too big to stop any protozoa, bacteria or virus.
Yes they filter chlorine and some heavy metals. They basically
improve the taste of water without properly filtering out any of the
more serious contaminants that can get into water supplies from time
to time.
The bottom-line
We have tested filters and the list of materials that Water-to-Go
will ‘catch’ is a long one. Water-to-Go filters reduce the volume of
contaminants in water by over 99.9%. Simply put they work!
Here is a selection of the contaminants we have tested for:
Chlorine
Metals
Chromium Mercury Nickel Copper Iron
Lead Arsenic Gold Silver
Aluminium
Virus
Norwalk Hepatitis A Tota Virus Adenoviruses Enteroviruses Reoviruses
Bacteria
Coliform E Coli Cholera Typhus
Dysentery Botulism Polio Virus Botulism
Vibrio Disease Campylobacteriosis
Leptospirosis – Weils Disease
Legionella (Legionnaires Disease and Pontiac Fever).
Parasites and waterborne pathogens
This list is abridged but includes some of the most recognizable and
common problems.
Fasciolopsiasis Taeniasis – Tapeworm
Echinococcosis Ascariasis
Coenorosis Schistosomiasis
Cryptosporidium Tryonosoma (Sleeping Sickness)
Threadworm Guinea Worm
Hookworm Roundworm
Pinworm Onchiocerca
Fasciola Hepatica/Liver fluke
Volatile Organic Compounds including Formaldehyde.
Water-to-Go filters are intended to remove contamination from water.
Filters will become inefficient if used with additives such as
isotonic powders, cordials, juices etc.
Not recommended to filter urine for drinking purposes.
Don’t forget, the majority of cross infection is caused by poor
personal hygiene. Wash your hands.
