Does Forward Osmosis technology use chemicals to purify dirty water?
Forward Osmosis (FO) does not use chemicals to purify water. Our products employ a proprietary emergency desalination filter system that rejects contaminants and pathogens to create pure drink. Purifiers use chemicals to try to kill pathogens and therefore require long exposure times, high dosages and result in a poor tasting drink that may not be safe. SeaPack’s emergency desalination membrane has a microscopic pore size of 3 to 5 angstroms, 100 times smaller than the smallest pathogens.
