Bota Outback Water Filters
Bota's Outback is easy to carry and
use. Using innovative technology, the Outback allows you to remove
giardia lamblia, cryptosporidium cysts, sediments, chlorine, lead
taste, and odor. The Outback filtration matrix is comprised of inert,
synthetic polymers, molecular sieves, and microspheres that have been
specifically configured to trap and retain these organisms while
inhibiting the growth of bacteria. This process, also known as
tortuosity has little effect on the flow of water molecules, but
presents a rugged microscopic obstacle course for parasites. The result
is you get instant, safe drinking water. There is very little back
pressure and it's easy to squeeze with a fast flow rate. Exceeds EPA
guidelines. Approximately 200 refills per filter. Easy to change
filter. Unconditional guarantee. The 22 oz. bottle is 5.2 oz. total,
the 32 oz. bottle is 5.3 oz. total, and the filter is 1.5 oz .
