About this product
Boiling water takes fuel and time; tablets take half an hour and taste of themselves. A filter straw takes neither. Put it in the water and drink, and the hollow-fibre element holds back the bacteria and protozoa that make surface water dangerous.
The supplier rates this one at 0.2 micron, removing at least 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of parasitic protozoa, with a working life of around 1,000 litres.
