The General Ecology XL Water Purifier is compact, lightweight, & offers clean, purified water every time. There’s a way to set it up so that it is self-pumping; this is a little tricky to set up at first, but once you get it figured out (it comes with instructions) its pretty amazing. This is an ecologically-responsible AND a lightweight alternative to bottled water- less to haul in & less to have to take out.

Lonewolf has used this product for many years & still today; this product has worked for he & thousands of his students, & its unique design has kept it well-known at the top of the market for years.

Lonewolf:

A student commented one day: “Hey- if the water goes over the rocks, I heard it helps purify the water.”

I replied, “No- that’s not true. No water should be considered safe.” So, as we walked further up the stream, we saw a cow rotting in the water! It is better to be safe than sorry.

Tips for Using Hassle-Free:

If you are dealing with very murky water, put the water in a bucket & let the silt & mud fall to the bottom, then use the First Need.
Carry a replacement cartridge with you- they last for 550 Liters; men require ~ 3 liters & women 2.2 liters per day. Therefore- for one person- a filter should last most men 183 days & women 250 days.
