Water Filtration Straw

A water-filtering straw comes in handy wherever there's water but you're not sure it's safe to drink: in a lake, a puddle, or an untested well. You put it in the water and drink through it, and one HELP BAG® Crystal Pro filter is good for up to 500 litres.

Applications

What Is It For?

Filter straw HELP BAG® CRYSTAL PRO has the ability to effectively and economically remove a wide range of contaminants, such as bacteria/legionella, viruses, cysts, endotoxins, polysaccharides, parasites, heavy metals, chlorine, pharmaceutical traces and other pathogens from the water, making it safe to drink. Electroadsorption technology uses electricity to attract and retain contaminant particles. It is definitely a more advanced method of filtration than traditional mechanical filtration with a UF membrane.

Product details: specification and use

HELP BAG® Crystal Pro water filter straw, up to 500 litres

How does a water filter straw work? You put it into the water, or place the tube into a container, and drink, while the water passes through the Ahlstrom Disruptor® membrane and a carbon filter. Crystal Pro filters up to 500 litres of water from a lake, a puddle or an untested well, but it is not suitable for seawater.

Electro-adsorption technology uses electricity to attract and hold contaminant particles, which sets it apart from mechanical filtering with a UF membrane. The straw removes bacteria, including Legionella, viruses, cysts, endotoxins, polysaccharides, parasites, heavy metals, chlorine and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. The materials are BPA-free, and the straw was tested in line with the EU LFGB, NSF and RoHS standards.

The box includes a straw, a silicone tube, and a user manual, and the warranty is 24 months. Safety Guide of MSWiA, MON and RCB lists bottled water and “filters or water purification tablets” as items for the emergency backpack. The straw is handy on the trail, while traveling, and at home when tap water runs out.

Included MAX PRO the straw is in the FOOD & WATER module, alongside 72h food rations and a collapsible water container. The BASIC purifies water with disinfection tablets. How to stock up on water and food, you can read in the the guide to the evacuation kit.
