With the Traveler, you can enjoy your travels without the fear of getting ill from unsafe tap water.

The Traveler is easy to use, with a design that fits perfectly in commercial water bottles. Just insert the Traveler securely into the mouth of the bottle, turn it upside down, and you’ll have safe drinking water in less than a minute without having to remove the water from the original bottle.

About UV Purification
The UV water purification method is more than 100 years old, and is currently used to purify drinking water by some of the largest cities in the world, including Seattle, New York, and many others in North America, Europe, and Asia. Several leading bottled water manufacturers also use UV purification to purify their source water. During the UV purification method, the ultraviolet energy emitted by the light is absorbed by the cells of the microbe, preventing the cell enzymes from “reading” its DNA. Without intact DNA, microbes can’t reproduce to make you sick. The process is simple but effective, destroying more than 99.9 percent of harmful microorganisms.

Purifying water with UV light offers many advantages. In addition to being safe and effective, UV light does not alter the taste, pH, or other properties of the water, and works without introducing chemicals into the water. SteriPen UV purifiers have also been tested by the Water Quality Association (WQA) against the U.S. EPA Microbiological Water Purifier Standard, and have received the WQA’s Gold Seal, signifying that the products purify water safely and effectively.

About Hydro-Photon
Miles Maiden, the founder of Hydro-Photon and a dedicated outdoorsmen, thought there were better ways to purify water in the wild than filters or chemicals. After years of research, he dedicated himself to the development of ultraviolet technology–the same technology used in municipal water treatment plants–for use in a personal, portable device that would provide the user with safe drinking water anywhere. Hydro-Photon received its first SteriPen patent in 1999, followed by patents in 2000 and 2003. In 1999, the first SteriPen was sold through REI, and in 2001 Time magazine named the SteriPen one of the best inventions of the year. The SteriPen’s speed, effectiveness, and portability have impressed end users and media alike, leading to profiles in Backpacker magazine and Newsweek and on the Today show as a powerful, user-friendly alternative to pumps, chemicals, and filters.

Portable Gravity Water Filter Bag with Ceramic and Carbon Filtration

• 1 to 2 gallons per hour once the filters are saturated and with consistent water pressure.
• Contains two replaceable filters, two pre-filter socks, protective casing, hangable, roll-up bag, 30″ vinyl tubing and cap.
• Ceramic filters made of diatomaceous earth prevent anything larger than 0.7 microns from penetrating the filter when it is new.
• Washable pre-filter socks catch the largest particles, Encased in the ceramic is high-grade Granular Activated Carbon.

Each Spring Roll consists of two ceramic and activated carbon filters with pre-filter socks. These are inside a sturdy, water-proof and food grade bag with an outlet for filtered water. One needs only to fill the bag with unfiltered water, hang the bag to let gravity do the work, and out comes potable water. No tablets, no pumps, no assembly required.

Components are washable for increased longevity of your filter, replaceable, and the whole unit is lightweight and easy to transport.

The Spring Roll is a perfect solution for many, many situations in which potable water is a concern like camping, hiking or maybe you just want one for emergencies.

Our water filters use a simple, 4 Stage process:

Washable pre-filter socks catch the largest particles and greatly extend the lives of the encased ceramic filters.
Ceramic filters made of diatomaceous earth prevent anything larger than 0.7 microns from penetrating the filter when it is new.
The ceramic contains silver, which is a natural bactericide.
Encased in the ceramic is high-grade Granular Activated Carbon. GAC has a vast pore structure that has enough surface area to adsorb numerous organic and inorganic compounds and impurities from contaminated water. Activated Carbon is very effective in eliminating unpleasant tastes, odors and color.

*Our filters will not remove viruses due to their extremely small size, and are not capable of desalinization.

they have been tested for bacterial removal and have consistently removed four logs (99.99%) of environmental and laboratory bacterial samples. Bacteria such as Ecoli, and protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia will effectively be removed.
