Product Index
Also known as "THE MUDDY WATER FILTER", it was used
extensively and effectively during Hurricane Katrina's rescue efforts.
Applications: Backcountry,
camping, disaster zones, military, anywhere water-borne pathogens and
contaminents can pose a threat to your health due to insanitary drinking water
conditions. HTI products were developed for NASA and our military and is now
available to the general public.
HTI
products employ a proprietary drinking water membrane filter that is
hydrophylic (attracts water), allow water to pass through yet blocks very
small contaminents due to the tight construction of the membrane. Water is
driven across a membrane, not by hydraulic pressure but by osmotic pressure
created by a standard sport drink powder on the clean side of the membrane.
Excellent as a back packing water filter.
HTI products work on the basis
of Forward Osmosis. Forward Osmosis filtration must use an osmotic agent
(Sugar, or Salt) to create osmotic pressure and draw the water molecules
through a semi-permeable membrane filter. HTI’s sports drink powders and
syrups have been formulated to maximize filtration capabilities, enhance oral
hydration and drink preservation. However, other kinds of combinations
containing sugars/salts will function as an osmotic agent (Ex: Gatorade,
Powerade, maple syrup, etc.)
HTI products produce a drink that is equivalent to Gatorade or any other
sports drink intended to replace calories and electrolytes lost through
exercise. There are no known ill effects from continuous consumption
.
HTI’s proprietary drining
water membrane filter is extremely effective at blocking all types of
biological pathogens. Independent
studies performed by both independent and military laboratories have
consistently demonstrated that HTI’s products transform the worst possible
life-threatening waters into clean, life-sustaining drink.
This is a technology that can be used as a
camping water filter in the wilderness.
When stored below 90°F, HTI
guarantees a 3 year shelf life. Membranes tolerate high temperatures well. HTI
drinking water membrane filters are routinely used in industrial applications
at 150°F. Like any food product, storage below 90°F is best. If stored in less
demanding conditions, HTI products can see a shelf life of around five years.
HTI produces a range of osmotic filter
products. See our list of products below.
