"millions of times more effective at killing viruses and bacteria than traditional commercial methods.." "..revolutionise water disinfection technologies"
I don't think this is comparable to a water treatment plant. No sediment settling, biofiltration etc. It's comparable to sterilising water using hydrogen peroxide or boiling it, in a camping context.
Not sure what the "millions of times" measures.
- lugged 5y agoI'm curious how well it does with dirty water, one of the big issues in the camping context is sediment in the water ruin the efficacy of all forms of water treatment.
- chaps 5y agoLike your parent post suggests, it's not really for that step -- you'd still need a filter for that. That said, in the context of camping.. because the need for sanitization is offloaded away from the filter, you're able to get away with a filter that has a much higher flow rate. Hand-powered sanitizing filters are an absolute pain to use and getting enough water for a meal is a.. process. So, it would be a welcome addition to camping setups.
