There are hundreds of water purifiers. What’s the big deal about this one?

Simply put, no other portable water purifier on the market reduces as many

contaminants, metals and pathogens as the SolarBag. If you find one, let us know

about it. It’s also extremely easy to use because it doesn’t require any electricity

or chemicals and has no moving parts. Plus the purified water tastes great, unlike

iodine tablets and other purifiers.

I don’t get it. How does this thing work?

Inside the SolarBag is a nanotechnology-coated mesh insert, which is activated

by the UV rays of the sun. This initiates a purification process which includes five

separate photochemical actions addressing more contaminants than any other

portable water treatment product.

• Chemicals are broken down to harmless minerals

• Metals are removed from the water and sequestered by the insert

• Pathogens are killed and rendered harmless

This sounds too good to be true. What’s the fine print?

The SolarBag offers the broadest contaminant removal of any portable water

purifier. It does not, however, desalinate water (turn salt water into fresh water).

Extremely cloudy or turbid water (darker than tea color) inhibits sunlight, slowing

the purification process. Generally speaking, if you cannot see through the water

in the SolarBag, it is probably too turbid to use. If another water source is not

available, pour the turbid water into a separate container and allow suspended

solids to settle. Once the solids have settled, try pouring the water back into the

SolarBag.

Fine, suspended inorganic particles (clay, sand, silica) are primarily unaffected by

the technology.

Lipids (fats, oils) float on the water and do not come into contact with the

nanotechnology mesh.

The nanotechnology is a non-toxic, FDA-approved, food-safe material. Accidental

ingestion of the mesh has no adverse health effects.

Is it reusable?

Yes. The SolarBag treats up to 3.5 liters of water at a time, and can be reused

hundreds of times. An ongoing field test of the SolarBag in Malawi has found the

SolarBag can be used 500 times without requiring replacement.
