Water – the elixir of life, especially when you're on an outdoor adventure. But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of water filtration? How do you turn that murky stream water into a refreshing, safe, and clean drink?
Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of water filtration, with the AQUASIV Weekender Kit as our guiding star.
The Dynamic Duo: HFM and GAC Filters
The AQUASIV Weekender Kit is all about versatility, and at its core are two powerful filters: the HFM (hollow fiber membrane) and the GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon) filter module. What's truly remarkable is that you can use these filters individually or combine them, depending on your filtration needs.
-
Hollow Fiber Membrane (HFM): This filter is the speedster of the pair, offering an astonishing flow rate of 1-liter in just 15 seconds. Picture that: in the blink of an eye, you'll have a clear, safe, and delicious drink. It's perfect when you're parched and need water pronto.
-
Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC): The GAC filter maintains a steady flow rate of 1-liter per minute. Even when you combine it with the HFM filter, you still get that convenient 1-liter per minute flow rate. This means you don't have to twiddle your thumbs while waiting for water during your outdoor activities.
Long-Lasting Performance
Let's talk durability. The HFM filter in the AQUASIV Weekender Kit is designed to match the Day Hiker Squeeze Kit in terms of lifespan. In other words, it's built to last. That's important when you're miles away from the nearest store.
Now, the GAC filter is effective for 3-6 months, depending on usage frequency. To keep your water tasting great and safe to drink, we recommend replacing the GAC filter every 6 months.
The Magic of Coconut Shells
Ever wondered how the GAC filter in the AQUASIV Weekender Kit works its magic? It's all thanks to physical activation using coconut shells. This natural process enables the GAC filter to effectively remove a wide range of contaminants.
-
Chlorine, VOCs, and Sediments: Say goodbye to the taste and smell of chlorine, as well as volatile organic compounds and sediments.
-
Pesticides, Herbicides, and Industrial Chemicals: The GAC filter efficiently takes care of pesticides, herbicides, and various industrial chemicals.
-
Bad Odors and Bad Tastes: Ever had water that just didn't taste right? The AQUASIV Weekender Kit is here to fix that.
-
Pharmaceutical Residues: This modern scourge is no match for the GAC filter.
-
Heavy Metals: One of the standout features of the GAC carbon filter is its efficiency in eliminating heavy metals. It tackles heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, mercury, chromium, and zinc, making your water safer to drink.
