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 – whenever you want, wherever you are. The H2gO GLOBAL is a suitable choice for the following circumstances: Inclusion in a Go-Bag or other preps Water that is already pre-filtered A principal goal of treating only virus and bacteria No issue with multi-dosing for treatment of protozoa Individuals from developing nations who are replacing the CDC's Safe Water System (i.e. bottled bleach) Those who may be turned off by a possible taste of chlorine Common usage of a 20L container The H2gO GLOBAL has volume settings of 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 liters, with a dose of 2.5 mg/L free available chlorine, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Safe Water System requirements common in developing nations. One battery charge will deliver 240 liters, and the device has a lifetime capacity of 120,000 liters (32,000 gallons) with no replacement parts needed. The H2gO GLOBAL is certified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as meeting their classification for Household Water Treatment Systems. A single dose meets WHO treatment standards for viruses and bacteria, while in-house tests show multiple doses inactivate protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, even in cloudy waters. Independent evaluations are in process to obtain approval at the higher level WHO classification as a "protective" water treatment system.
