The Cleanwater kits are light weight, compact for transportation and easy to assemble at the point of use, providing Cleanwater from virtually any freshwater source within minutes.</p> <ul> <li>Removes 99.99% of pathogenic bacteria, disease-causing cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and particles.</li> <li>The Sterasyl filter candle is impregnated with colloidal silver to prevent bacterial growth removing the need to periodically sterilise the candle.</li> <li>Keeps those minerals in the water that are beneficial to health.</li> <li>Cleanwater filters require no external source of power to function, making them effective in all situations where fresh water needs to be purified for safe drinking.</li> <li>Cleanwater filters have been tried and tested in various third-world situations changing the quality of life for many thousands of adults and children.</li> </ul> <p><strong><u>How it works<br /> </u></strong><em><u><br /> </u></em>Multi-stage filtration in one filter cartridge, The British Berkefeld® ceramic filter used in our water purification kits are impregnated with colloidal silver. The filter purifies the unclean water by:</p> <ul> <li>Removing all sedimentary particles and suspensions down to 0.9 microns, thereby improving colour and taste of the water</li> <li>Killing 99.99% of harmful bacteria and cysts, including E-Coli, Cholera, Typhoid, Shigella, Klebsiella, Cryptosporidium and Giardia. These are responsible for life-threatening diarrhoeal diseases. Coupled with the siphon tube, purified water is delivered to the point of use at a rate of up to 5 litres per hour.</li> </ul> <p><u><strong>Replacement filters <br /> <br /> </strong></u>The effective life of a Berkefeld® ceramic filter, in continual use, will normally be more than 12 months depending on the turbidity of the source water, before requiring replacement.</p> <p> </p>
