Peace of Mind

You can't put a price on peace of mind when it comes to pure drinking water, especially when traveling in a third world country. This is not only waterborne bacteria, common protozoan parasites, such as giardia, and cryptosporidia country but also deadly viruses. The First Need is a compact, back flushable water purifying system that works great in any suspect water source. This was not only my first water purifier but still is after twenty + years. The cartridge is easy to back flush when in the field. I still use the color dye test to make sure the matrix hasn't been compromised in any way. Don't leave home without the First Need when traveling in areas where water is suspect. It's only drawback is weight. It is slightly heavy especially when backpacking.
