URBAN FILTER

• Easy squeeze filter...even for children.
• Filter lifespan - 200 refills and/or 6 months
• High concentration of carbon for removal of chlorine, VOC's and iodine.

Recommended uses

• An everyday filter for "cleaning up" Urban tap water from chemicals and bad tastes and odours.
• Travel filter for Hotels, public fountains and bathrooms, camping grounds, boats, schools and sporting events.  It is also very good as a back up system for bikers on long trips.
• Combine it with Polar Pure iodine system to make it an emergency water filter that is very simple and easy to use.

Inventors note- Travel Tip...rather than considering the Survival filter it is more effective to combine the URBAN filter with a purification solution such as Polar Pure. This will give you the best all round protection against bacteria and viruses as well as Giardia and Cryptosporidium AND you can still use it every day for cleaning up your tap water.

SURVIVAL FILTER

• Firm squeeze action required.
• Filter lifespan - 200 refills and/or 6 months
• Giardia and Cryptosporidium removal without chemicals

Recommended uses

• Use for tramping and hiking in areas where there is a threat of Giardia and Cryprosporidium contamination
• Urban water supplies that are known for Giardia and Cryptosporidium contamination, such as Sydney and Galway.
• Combine it with Polar Pure iodine system to make it an emergency water filter.

Inventors note- the SURVIVAL filter is perfect for outbreaks of cryptosporidium in municipal water supplies and for hiking in areas where  the water is of good quality (ie no bacteria).  If there is a chance that bacteria is present in the water I suggest that you use the URBAN/POLAR PURE purifier system

Why do you need to filter your drinking water?

It is a little known fact that chlorine reacts with organic compounds in your tap water to produce Volatile Organic Compounds.  These are dangerous to your health and can
The Hydropal URBAN filter will remove VOC's

The term Volatile Organic Compound refers to a variety of chemical compounds that contain carbon and evaporate at relatively low temperatures.

Drinking water that contains VOCs can increase your risk for a variety of health problems.

Why elimintate Cryptosporidium and Giardia?

If you have ever been infected you will never want to go through it again. 

Note: For water containing bacteria and/or viruses, one should use chemical purification tablets. The tablets will kill the bacteria and viruses and the filter will eliminate the foul tasting and potentially harmful chemicals.
