The Outback Gravity Powered Water Filtration System

     The solution for:    

-Emergency Preparedness

-Food Storage Programs

-Camping

-Any other application where potable and/or  municipal water is not available.

In addition to it's value during emergencies The Outback is now recognized as the most critical component of any well planned Emergency Preparedness or Food Storage Program. It's the missing piece of the food storage puzzle - eliminating the need to store huge quantities of water.

All this -- yet simple enough for a child to operate. Just pour water into the upper chamber through The Outback's pre-filter net to remove large particles of sediment and debris. The Outback delivers 6 gallons of purified water per hour*. FEMA, Red Cross and other agencies recommend an emergency supply of at least 1 gallon of potable water per person per day. Most purification systems produce only enough water for an individual. The Outback will easily purify water for an entire family for the duration of an emergency.

Purification: To protect from virus add either a small amount of standard household bleach or common iodine tablets to the upper chamber (source water).  This additive will devitalize virus and bacteria (the additive will be removed from your drinking water in later stages of filtration).

Secondary Filtration: Next the water flows through the 0.5 micron filter located in the upper chamber. This filter removes particles 0.5 microns or greater in size, including the removal of cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

Final Filtration: The Outback's final removal stage is a bacteriostatic multi-media filter, located in the lower chamber. This filter contains mixed media which will effectively remove or reduce 70+ contaminants, including chlorine, bad tastes and odors, iodine/iodide, organics, pesticides insecticides and herbicides.

Clean, great tasting water is now available through the Outback's spigot.

How it Works

This portable water purification system destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, including E.coli, Cholera, Hepatitis and Polio. It's 0.5 micron filter removes cysts to levels exceeding EPA standards - achieving greater than 4 log (99.99%) reduction rate as tested by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation).

Just pour the raw or questionable water through the pre-filter net and into the upper pail or optional gathering pail. (The Source water container).

Stage 1:  Pre-filter net removes debris and large sediment particles.

Stage 2:  Addition of 1 Tablespoon of regular household bleach* or 1 iodine tablet** destroys bacteria and virus that may be present in the water. (Follow instructions for specific contact times which may vary based upon water quality.)

Stage 3:  Sediment Pre-filter removes contaminants down to 0.5 microns in size, including the removal of cysts.

Stage 4:  Multimedia cartridge removes many industrial and agricultural contaminants as well as chlorine, iodine and bad tastes and odors.
