What is Hollow Fiber technology?
Hollow fiber is the filtration media used in both the HyperFlow™ Microfilter and the AutoFlow™ Gravity System. Commonly used in areas such as municipal water filtration systems and medical applications, this technology is ideally suited to the outdoor market. To understand how hollow fibers work, think of a straw with permeable walls. Water is forced through the walls (filtered) and clean water flows out through the center channel. The real advantage comes when a cluster of hollow fiber straws is used, offering a dramatic increase in the amount of surface area available for filtration when compared with any other type of filter media. The benefits are much higher flow rates and a far lighter, more compact system.
