Aqua Partner Foot-pump Water Purifier
The Aqua Partner is self-contained water purification system capable of supplying from l75-100 gallons of potable water everyday. Out put will vary on conditions such as season, altitude, and time of day. This system uses a patented three-step disinfection/filtration process eliminating everything from dirt and silt to cysts (giardia and cryptosporidium) and microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa). The UV lamp and water pump are powered by a foot pump. This Aqua Partner Foot-pump operated water purifier does not contain a motor and is able to purify water to a high purity drinking quality that can be used on the Middle Fork river and other Wilderness designated areas that do not allow motors and other mechanical devices. University of Arizona did the test on this system. It was tested over a 12 hour time period: E.Coli 11775: This purifier provides a 99.9999% reduction
bacteriophage phiX174: 99.9879% reduction Klebsiella Terrigena: greater than 99.9999% reduction
