Flooding often fouls municipal water systems. Earthquakes damage pipes and infrastructure causing water contamination. Power outages due to storms leave people without the electricity required to move water to their taps. Be it flooding, hurricane, tornado, earthquake or National Emergency, it is wise for everyone - every family - to have an alternative source of safe drinking water. Affordable and easy to use with discounted pricing available to groups and organizations, The Outback™ is the perfect emergency water source for you and your family.
The Outback Gravity Powered™ Water Filtration System
The solution for:
|
The Outback™ is a gravity-powered™ system that purifies water from almost any fresh or moving water source. Rugged and durable, it was designed to be used when municipal systems are compromised or are not available. The Outback's™ design has been proven effective by rescue, relief and religious organizations in Latin America, Africa and Asia and throughout the world. It is currently used by such organizations as the U.S. Government, Red Cross, Youth Mission, Boy Scouts of America, Mormon Church (LDS Church), NW HardRain Expeditions and a multitude of Local Fire Departments.
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. *the flow rate is dependent upon source water conditions |
