Water Filter EVO
Tap water in Western Europe and North America is of good quality. Elsewhere in the world, however, we recommend taking additional measures to purify drinking water (or buying bottled water). If you’re heading out into the wilderness, there’s a good chance you won’t have reliable access to clean drinking water. The water may be contaminated with microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses –not the kind of water you want to drink. An inexpensive way to purify water is with the outdoor Care Plus® Water Filter and the Hadex® water disinfectant by Care Plus®.
How does it work?
The Care Plus® Water Filter EVO uses two filter elements.
Microfibre tubes filter and trap harmful bacteria and protozoa. It filters water from any freshwater lake, river or stream. The technology of the water filter uses a cluster of microfibre tubes. It is based on the technology used in medical dialysis.
The water passes through the side walls of the tubes to their hollow centre and flows out at the end of the tubes. Harmful bacteria and protozoa are retained on the outer walls of the tubes.
Maintenance
It is advisable to clean all parts at all times, as dirt and pathogens such as viruses can accumulate and reduce water flow. We recommend using the disinfectant Care Plus® Hadex to disinfect water and then cleaning the parts with it.
If the Care Plus® Water Filter EVO is not used for an extended period of time, or if the flow rate or taste quality has decreased, backwashing is recommended. Backwashing is more effective if it is done before the filter has dried.
