About 36 water systems were targeted in Minnesota, and officials in at least seven states have pointed to Iran.

Family water
A straw keeps one person drinking. This keeps the whole family going.
Official guidance says to plan one gallon of water per person, per day. When a boil-water notice hits or the tap stops, that's four gallons a day for a family of four. This kit turns a river, a lake or a rain barrel into clean water a gallon at a time — no pump, no power, no chemicals. Fill it, hang it and let gravity do the work.

You don't have to predict a war to be ready for one bad week. The water from your tap may not be safe to drink.
Why it works
Clean water for everyone, hands-free
Gravity does the work
Hang the bag and open the valve. No pumping, no squeezing, no batteries.
0.01-micron hollow fiber
Blocks bacteria, parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, microplastics and sediment.
1 gallon per fill
A full day of drinking water for one person, in a single fill.
Fills bottles and pots
Water runs into the clean pouch, a bottle or the cooking pot.
Packs flat
The bag rolls up and the whole kit fits in a drawer, a car or a go-bag.
Easy to keep working
Push clean water back through the filter to restore the flow. Store it dry.
Inside the filter
Thousands of tiny tubes. One job: clean water.
Each fiber is a tiny tube with pores just 0.01 microns wide — thousands of times thinner than a hair. Water gets through. What makes you sick doesn't.
-
1
Water goes in
Dirty fresh water flows around the outside of the fibers.
-
2
0.01-micron pores
Only water fits through the tiny pores in the fiber walls.
-
3
The bad stuff stays out
Bacteria, parasites like Giardia, algae, silt and colloids are blocked.
-
4
Clean water comes out
Filtered water flows up the inside of the fibers to you.
Simple by design
How to use it
- Fill it
Open the roll top and scoop the bag full from a river, lake, pond or rain barrel.
- Hang it
Clip the strap to a branch, a door frame or a hook — higher than your pot or bottle.
- Open the valve
Gravity pushes the water through the 0.01-micron filter. No pumping.
- Drink
Fill the clean pouch, your bottles or the cooking pot.
The difference
Gravity kit vs. boiling water
Boiling works — as long as you still have gas or power.
Ours
Gravity kit
- No gas, no power needed
- Clean water in minutes
- Blocks dirt and microplastics
- Hands-free while it filters
Boiling water
- Needs gas or power
- Boil, then wait to cool
- Dirt stays in the pot
- You watch the pot
Plan ahead
Water for every person in the house
1 gallon per person, per day
That's the official rule of thumb. This kit makes it from almost any fresh water source.
Kit at home, straw on the go
The kit covers drinking and cooking at home. A straw in every bag covers the rest.
1 for the people you love
Parents or grandparents who live alone are the most exposed. The Family 6-Pack covers them too.
An honest note on safety
Like every hollow-fiber filter, this kit is made for fresh water. It does not remove viruses, chemicals, heavy metals or salt, and it does not make sea water drinkable. When water may contain viruses or chemical pollution, combine it with purification tablets or boiling. Do not let a used filter freeze.
Questions
Everything you need to know
How fast does it filter?
About 0.7 liters a minute with the bag hung high, so a full gallon takes around 5 to 6 minutes. Hang it higher for a faster flow.
What does it remove?
The 0.01-micron hollow-fiber membrane blocks bacteria, parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, microplastics and sediment. It does not remove viruses, chemicals, heavy metals or salt.
What water can I use?
Fresh water: rivers, lakes, ponds and rain barrels. Under a boil-water notice it blocks bacteria and parasites, but not viruses — if the notice says to boil, do that too. Not sea water, and not water polluted by fuel or chemicals.
Do I still need a straw?
They do different jobs. The kit makes water for the whole family at home or at camp; the straw lets one person drink on the move. Many families keep both.
What if the flow gets slow?
Push clean water back through the filter to clear the membrane. If it stays very slow after that, it's time for a new filter.
How do I store it?
Rinse it, let it dry and keep it with your emergency kit. Don't let a used filter freeze: ice can crack the fibers.
What if it arrives damaged?
Contact us within 7 days of delivery with a photo and we'll replace it or refund you.
