(7) Water Purification, Collection & Storage

Staying hydrated is vital for proper cell and organ function, body temperature stability, and mental clarity. In survival situations, the effects of even mild dehydration could result in confusion and lethargy – in other words, things that could derail your efforts well prior to organs shutting down. However, ensure your water is purified to the best of your ability, keeping bacteria and viruses out of your system. Create an arsenal of tools to enable you to purify water no matter where you are. Getting a water-borne pathogen in your system will not only derail your trip, but could create further complications that could become very serious over time.

    • Filtration rate: 12 liters/hour
    • Chemical-free
    • Made of durable plastic
    • Doesnt require electrical power or batteries

    How LifeStraw Community Works:

    • 5 liters of untreated water is poured into the top of the unit, also called the dirty water container.
    • The pre-filter removes coarse particles larger than 80 microns.
    • The ultrafiltration hollow-fibre membrane cartridge, located inside the main dark blue body of the filter, then stops all turbidity particles and pathogens larger than 20 nanometers (including all bacteria, viruses and protozoan cysts). Particles and microbes larger than 20 nanometers stay on the dirty side of the membrane and clean/purified water passes through the membrane.
    • Purified water can be collected from any of the four taps.
    • The blue tap is turned to release purified water.
    • The backwashing handle allows semi-automatic backwashing; when it is pulled down and released, pathogens and dust particles on the dirty side of the membrane are lifted by back pressure and then flushed out into the red backwash container.

  • Sale! Vegetation Still Kit for Water Collection

    Vegetation Still Kit for Water Collection

    The Vegetation Still Kit is a water collection and purification kit designed to be used in survival situations where primary sources of water are difficult to find, or in conjunction with other water collection and purification techniques. The kit relies on a well known technique whereby the water contained in plant material is released through thermal action generated by containment in a plastic bag and exposure to sunlight. The concept is to set up several stills in a given area to maximize the potential to collect enough potable water for survival. The water collected in this manner is purified by the action of the still. However, it is important to be sure that only non-poisonous plant material is contained in the bags.

    The kit contains: three 25 gallon lightweight polybags at 1.5 mil thickness; repair tape; plastic tubing to use for drinking out of the collection bag without disturbing the still; water purification tablets and two one liter water collection bags. The water purification tablets are intended to be used to purify potential opportunistic water sources you come across while the stills are in use. The water collection bags are for use with the tablets and for collecting water from the still.

    CONTENTS:

    (3) 25 Gallon 1.5 mil polybags, clear, high density

    (6 ft.) Superthane Drinking Tubing (UV resistant; Moisture and fungus resistant; NSF 61 listed for use with potable water).

    (1) 2 in. x 50 in. Duct Tape (repair tape)

    • The individual tablet pouches are stored inside a re-sealable (subdued in color) storage pouch that can be packed away almost anywhere.
    • To use, simply drop one tablet into one liter of water and wait the required time.
    • EPA Registered Purifier, Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets contain a patented chlorine dioxide formula that produces a powerful germicidal agent when released in water.
    • When used as directed, Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets meet the EPA guidelines for Microbiological Water Purifiers; making it the safest solution on the market.
    • 9 in. x 6 in. Sil-nylon rip-stop carry pouch. Zippered, with 1 in. Hook for attachment.

  • Sale! Hydro Kit - Survival Plant Water Extraction Solar Stills

    Hydro Kit – Survival Plant Water Extraction Solar Stills

    The Hydro Kit by Survival Metrics enables the capture of potable water from non-poisonous plants via solar action. Especially useful in arid areas where ground and surface water is not available. The age-old practice of extracting potable water from plants is maximized using this kit by the incorporation of optically clear, high density 25 gallon water extraction bags that allow up to 92% sunlight penetration. Essentially, plants release water to the atmosphere by the process of transpiration, triggered by exposure to certain wavelengths of light. The proper use of these bags allows that water vapor to be captured, condensed, and collected for the survivor to drink. If not needed for water procurement, the bags can be used in emergency shelter construction and protection from the elements. Small and lightweight, the kit is a valuable addition to your survival or emergency preparedness kit.

    Contents:

    (3) 25 Gallon Special Formulation Extraction Bags. 1.5 mil, high strength special formulation bags that allow high transmission of sunlight in the range of 88% to 92%. UV stabilized for a minimum of one month with special inhibitors that do not absorb any portion of the sun light to allow the maximum amount of solar energy through the film. All resins and additives used in the film comply with Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulation, FDA, for contact with food.

    (1) 42 oz. Water Pouch. Mylar/PET film, 4.5 mil, re-sealable, stand-up. Used to collect water obtained from the stills, and to collect water from other available sources while the stills are in operation.

    (1) Special Formulation Drinking-Tubing, 6 inch. Enables drinking extracted water without disturbing the still.

    • Ultraviolet Light Resistant
    • Moisture and Fungus Resistant
    • NSF 61 Listed for Use with Potable Water
    • (1) Roll of 2 in.x 4 ft. 100 MPH tape:

  • Sale! WhirlPak 1 Liter Stand Up Bags  - 3 Pack

    WhirlPak 1 Liter Stand Up Bags – 3 Pack

    The Whirl-Pak Stand-Up Sterile Polyethylene Bag: these great bags roll up very tightly, and are individually sterilized and sealed. The 1 liter capacity of these bags make them great for using to purify water (using chlorine dioxide tablets, for example, which are usually able to purify one liter of water). When filled, the gusset on the bottom flattens out and enables the bag to stand on its own. Simply fold the top of the bag over three times and close with the puncture-proof tabs. This creates a leak proof seal, preventing impurities from entering the bag.

    These bags are very durable, and compact very well. You could easily put several in your small survival kit, and use them for water collection and purification, a vegetation still, and more. Another benefit is that these bags can be frozen to any temperature.

    Having a pack of three in your survival kit means that you can treat three liters of water, and then once they are all treated, you can rotate out drinking and treating your water. That way, you always have a purified source to drink while you are treating, since treating usually takes several hours.

    • 36 oz. (1,065 ml) capacity
    • 5″ W x 15″ L (12.5 x 38 cm)
    • 4.0 mil (.102 mm) thick
    • Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO9001

  • Sale! The Solar Still Water Purification Kit

    The Solar Still Water Purification Kit

    Survival situations in arid climates, and those in areas of highly-saline water (seawater), present unique challenges to getting your daily potable water needs to stay hydrated – and alive. A solar still is a time-tested method to generate potable water, even from certain contaminated sources. A solar still uses the rays of the sun to distill water from the ground, plants, and virtually anything that contains moisture. An advantage is that impure sources, which could not normally be consumed, may be used to produce drinkable water. These include urine, blood, salt water, and non-poisonous plant material. Construction of a solar still is labor intensive, and therefore, you must weigh the potential benefit of its construction against any deficit from water loss in constructing the still. Construction is best in early morning/evening when temperatures are cooler. Good survival guides will offer solid instruction on the construction of solar stills, and their caveats.

    Chlorine dioxide, a well established disinfectant is the active ingredient in Aquamira® Water Treatment. Chlorine dioxide is iodine and chlorine free. The unique formula works by releasing nascent oxygen, a highly active form of oxygen, which is a strong oxidant and a powerful germicidal agent. Chlorine dioxide has been used by municipal water treatment plants to kill a variety of waterborne pathogens since the late 1940s. Unlike free chlorine (familiar as household bleach) or other halogen chemicals (such as iodine), chlorine dioxide does not create potentially harmful by-products.

    Aquamira’s key benefits are clearly evident when compared to other common portable water treatment chemicals such as iodine or sodium hypochlorite (household bleach). Most importantly, chlorine dioxide is a significantly stronger oxidant, with greater pathogen killing power. Chlorine dioxide does not discolor water, nor does it give water an unpleasant taste. In fact, chlorine dioxide is used to improve the taste of water by neutralizing unpleasant flavors. Aquamira is also very useful as a preservative for stored drinking water. When used according to instructions, and kept in a sealed container, treated water needs no further treatment for 5 years. This makes Aquamira Water Treatment the perfect solution for water stored for earthquakes, hurricanes, or other disaster preparedness situations.
