Revolutionary water filtration system designed to save lives

Inventor and water-treatment expert Michael Pritchard watched the devastating 2004 Asian tsunami and hurricane Katrina in 2005 leave many without clean drinking water in the wake of horrific natural disasters, leading him to develop the Lifesaver bottle.

This revolutionary water-filtration method could drastically reduce the tragedies suffered from a lack of access to clean water, such as what happened in Asia in 2004 and the United States in 2005 when aid agencies failed to provide refugees with clean drinking water.

The Lifesaver bottle is a self-contained system that does not require the use of chemicals or tablets to be added to the water, and instead uses a nano-filtration membrane so thorough it can block viruses, bacteria, parasites and microbial pathogens that filters water in seconds.

This development could mean lives will be saved if people have access to the water-filtering bottles, which can clean up to 6,000 liters of water per filter. The traditional method of shipping clean water to disaster areas is not only extremely expensive but has been scrutinized for taking too long, leading to a tragic loss of lives due to the lack of clean water. The bottles could also provide a source of clean water for the many areas of the world that are not in the aftermath of a natural disaster but still do not have clean water to drink.
