The H2gO Purifier resulted from a quest to create the best personal water purifier in the world. In contrast to traditional camping water filters, water treatment gear classified as a “purifier” protects against all 3 classes of waterborne pathogens – viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. The H2gO is a pocket-sized water purifier for individuals, families, and small groups that can be used in place of camping water filters or water purification tablets. Many city water utilities use the same core technology on a much larger scale to provide safe drinking water. The H2gO works by converting a tiny bit of common salt into a powerful chlorine and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant solution that is added to the water to destroy disease-causing microorganisms. Imagine being able to create your own unlimited supply of liquid “water purification tablets” at virtually no cost – wherever you are, whenever you want.
The H2gO PRIME is a suitable water treatment choice for any of the following circumstances:
- Preparation for emergencies, outdoor adventure, or travel
- A desire for more thorough treatment (i.e. protozoa) with fewer doses
- The ability to tolerate a possible taste of chlorine
- Use with containers <= 10L or multidose to treat a 20L container
- No pre-filtration used
The H2gO PRIME has volume settings of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 liters, with a dose of 5 mg/L free available chlorine. One battery charge will deliver 120 liters, and the device has a lifetime capacity of 60,000 liters (16,000 gallons) with no replacement parts needed.
The H2gO PRIME meets the U.S. EPA’s P231 Guide Standard & Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers for viruses, bacteria, and parasites when dosed as instructed. Independent testing demonstrates that a single dose meets EPA treatment standards for bacteria, virus, and Giardia in both clear and cloudy waters, as well as Cryptosporidium in clear-looking water. Inactivation of Cryptosporidium in cloudy or colored waters requires more than the standard dose.
