I like this concept. The 1st thing I thought of was 'pop the old filter out and pop and new one in' A daunting prospect. Very American. Unsustainable technology dependent on outside resources. The 5 gallon can is a good start. Now lets make a filter that can be cleaned and re-used countless times.

[@michellecampbell1115]

send these to Flint, MI!!!

[@yato2412]

This can't solve Flint problem. Pore size is too big to filter lead out.

[@randyparsons3188]

distilling the water might work. Faucet filters like Pur would work, although they aren't cheap.

[@HowToOutdoors]

Michelle Campbell how big is lead? 15 nm?

[@HowToOutdoors]

Call this company up!

[@HowToOutdoors]

Damn

[@Bren28]

Absolutely agreed. Legend

[@randyparsons3188]

I wonder about filter life, and filter cost. Seems to work well though. Found it on Amazon. Very expensive but seems to have a good filter.

[@markandresen1]

A fantastic invention, but there's a self-defeating irony in it being expensive on Amazon.

[@protectinghistory]

Can all the impurities of water be removed by filtration alone? And, can anyone post an address - email or physical address - where to find such a device?

[@4TheRecord]

The jerry can is a good idea, espeically providing a family of four with clean water for 3 years but surely, the long term solution would be some kind of pumping station near a dirty river with a larger version of the bottle filter cleaning all the water and pumping it to homes via pipe.

[@markandresen1]

A good point. Surely, any township should have both.

[@ericroseland707]

What's the name of the product

[@romenigld]

Congratulations Michael you are Amazing!

[@indyola]

Both of these are available for retail sale, but both are primarily distributed (for free) by NDOs and other aid organizations. The LifeSaver bottle filters out materials that are one hundredth the size that the LifeStraw does. The LifeStraw will filter some bacteria (and no viruses) and the LifeSaver bottle with filter out all bacteria and all viruses. It's a completely different thing.

Vincent Torrieri If you notice this was an education conference not an infomercial. So 20mins or 30 mins doesn’t really matter now does it. All it was about is his work and reasons of Who, What, Where, How, When all this took place and the journey to get here at this point.

[@EsamoKoram]

As a solution it is a good direction but price of the bottle says it is not meant to help people but to make money. Otherwise there would be several cheaper versions with warnings that they don't clean the water that good or something.

[@clivewells7090]

Hey if you know Mr Pritchard wish him and his guinea pigs well 4 me! Also tell him to check out Gerald Pollack's work on exclusion zone water as it desalinates a layer of H3 - O2 at the boundary of homophilic materials which maybe a property of his filter!

[@Jbentley9999]

Even the bottled water one buys in the store in USA does not taste good.

[@robertsmith3774]

Just distill your water. It is cheaper and safer than any filter.

[@mahawka]

no it's not.

do u even know how water disstilation works!?!?!

If your diesel or kerosene is in the water, your gas tanks downstream, the grid down and you can't find your kids, never mind your saucepans, I don't think your mind is going to be on distillation...

so it does have limits.....The bottle can be used to filter urine and will remove all microbiological contamination. Tho there will be an amount of dissolved salts that can not be removed. Metals such as iron, and salt from salt water cannot be removed effectively.... if they can remove all this other stuff I would be buying two!!!!

[@jk35260]

Robert Shine Nanofilters can trap virus but not dissolved salt. To remove salt, either use desalination or reverse osmosis. Good news is scientists are working to use graphene (1 atom thick) to filter salt. However they cost a lot to produce and has yet to figure out a way to mass produce them.

[@michaeldemarillac9992]

@@clivewells7090 plus you can raid you local sewerage farm and dip into that water as well. If you wnat to remove heavy metals/Petroleum, you need to distill and for that the University of Buffalo is finalising a nano carbon evaporative device that uses only the sun's energy to distil up to 10 litres a day, using any water source.

It is possible to do what he is speaking of without halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon pollution. He could do the same with natural materials.

[@unkleskratch]

so far, SODIS or solar distillation ( leaving bottles of grey water in the sun for 4 to 6 hours) is the only method cheap enough for the 3rd world... its good, but not good enough. The combination of layers of sand, rock, charcoal and silver impregnated ceramic is best, but the very cheapest ceramic filter is around $50 USD. It won't do- the people who need this cant buy it- so they get sick and they die. Any ideas about getting a system together that can actually do the 3rd world any good? Let me know.

We could teach people how to make man-made ground water. We make Edison generators out of old generators and filter's out of soil and charcoal and never use sulphates. Coal filters are becoming more appropriate worldwide. But it's very important that halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon manufacture and use be stopped absolutely as we agreed to in the chemical weapon manufacture treaty.
