Re: Water purification in extreme conditions

Hi Bill,
The PUR Purifier of Water treatment could be a solution.
Each 4 g (0.14 oz) packet treats 2.5 gallons/10 liters and takes 30 minutes.
Step 1. Mix: You add the packet (0.542% calcium hypochlorite, 99.458 % other ingredients) to 10 liters of water.
Step 2. Stir: Stir well for 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. If water is not clear stir again until the floc is separated.
Step 3. Filter: Use clean thick 100% thick cotton cloth without any holes to filter. Dispose of filtered floc away from children and animals.
Wait 20 minutes.
Step 4. Drink
It'll be sold two ways:
1. as six (4 g) PUR packets and a cotton filter cloth ($14.99)
2. as a kit with mixing container, storage container, stirring wand, cotton filter cloth, packet opener, and three Pur packet ($28.99).
My press info says the product is new for 2008, but expected sometime late 2007. I'll check into that more and report back. As you already know, it's been used internationally for several years, specifically for natural disasters and emergency situations.
The web site is: http://www.purpurifierofwater.com/
but so far has no actual info on it.
