Read This Before Use
The Twin Tech Tactical Survival water filter can only filter solids, certain chemicals and pollutants from the water you’ve collected. Activated carbon is most commonly used to filter water. It improves water quality, eliminates unpleasant odors, and removes chlorine and other pollutants. However, it’s not sufficient for eliminating certain toxic organic compounds, significant levels of metals, fluoride, or pathogens.
WASH ALL COMPONANTS WITH SOAPY WATER BEFORE USE.
Without unique filter media materials or additional filtration, the Twin Tech Tactical activated carbon will not filter:
This is why it is of the utmost importance to either BOIL your filtered water at a rumbling boil for at least 3 minutes after you’ve run it through the filter. If you are unable to boil your filtered water, then you MUST disinfect your filtered water (before drinking) with household bleach using the following procedure provided by epa.gov:
