How does it purify water, filter, chemical, it doesn't say how.

Sorry, I bought it for my grandson to take to Africa and he does not leave for another month!

I'm not sure either however, when I looked it up on google I found a pdf file. The file lists all of the testing results from multiple major universities and the U.S. Airforce! The test results were A plus from everything I read!

CCS, it's not much but this is the information I found on the Water One Pure Sip Personal Water Purifier: Used like a drinking straw, Pure Sip is a complete micro-system that kills bacteria and viruses instantly on contact as well as removing cysts such as Giardia. ViroBac, Water One's proprietary media, disinfects on contact and instantly kills 99.99% of bacteria and 99.7% of viruses. The proprietary compound is ionically bonded to a carrier media and works on demand, only if microorganisms are present allowing for extended use for up to three years. Tested extensively for over twenty years by independent laboratories such as Loyola University Medical School using EPA protocol Pure Sip has been proven to kill bacteria and viruses under continuous and repeat conditions.

Hi,This device has a stringent filtration system inside similar to those industrial or domestic water filtration unit. This system traps all impurities and micro organism by immersing the unit into a container of water and suck on it just like sucking through a straw. It is recommended to spit out the first two mouth full of water when using it for the very first time.

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

I don't know, but any reverse osmosis system that I know of, filters more impurities than any other system. In my review I suggested calling the manufacturer. They are real people who answer the phone, there is nothing automated, and they can answer that question.

Yes it filters out the impurities from the water ...Although I do not travel to other countries anymore you may drop the company it's self an e-mail they may have the answer to your question Otherwise I have not had any issues with this product and it has been awesome for me

there is a video on youtube. It doesnt filter viruses or chemicals but does everything else. I filtered dirty lake water through it and it was clear as a bell. I didnt have the water tested before or after, the way I figure it something is better than nothing.

This unit is not a water filter. The target Of this unit is modifying the molecular structure of purified water.

It doesn't have a filter such as a water filtration pitcher would, it is only sufficient to filter out possible grit or vegetative matter. The filter looks like a small round large pore sponge.

My guess is that these are probably somewhat arbitrary claims as the lifespan of the filter is likely dependent on the chlorine content of the water, the hardness of the water etc. I'm no engineer but this probably works by chemical reaction of copper (in filter) and its capturing of chlorine molecules (and others?) somehow...the more chlorine you have, more copper neutralized in the process...? Anyway, I find my filters to last at least six months and seem to be effective for almost a year...

The paperwork I received with my filter does not say that the filter removes chemicals.

Yes, it can pick up anything that has become "one" with the water and thus becoming contaminated.Anything that can dissolve in the water that you won't be able to see it with your eyes, 90% of the time your TDS meter will pick it up for you and show you how contaminated your water is. I have one and it works great in picking up any chemicals.You can also pour your purified water into a cup and add any type of house hold chemical and see if your TDS meter picks it up.That is one way I was able to confirm it myself that it works.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

I think it is a little misleading, but it has a function to turn the filter manually with out removing it and I guess that is supposed to clean it a little. Really though it doesn't do much of anything. I just take the filter out and shake it into a trash can.

It does nothing....carbon will remove impurities if water or air are FORCED through it....this simply floats around & does nothing.

No just water. But I don't recommend this product. It just swirls...not much action. Purifier its not.

No, it's not a desalinator. It removes some chemicals and all virus and bacteria from drinking water

it is neither bio nor chemical. the filter action is purely physical and acts through mechanically separating the larger pollutive molecules from the water that passes through the "cartridge."

Sorry bud I don't know how they even waste water......I mean its a sealed system right so how does it loose anything at all hmmmm don't know
