Prepper Use Case
SCENARIO
Apartment water is cut off after a pipe break or contamination event. You have tap water stored in containers, water in your bathtub reserve, or you need to use a questionable source. Squeeze from any container through the filter — it works inline, inline to a bottle, or directly from a pouch. No electricity, no moving parts, no expiration date.
