HTI
products employ a proprietary membrane filter that is hydrophilic
(attracts water), allows water to pass through, yet blocks very
small contaminants due to the tight construction of the membrane. Water is driven across the membrane,
not by hydraulic pressure, but by osmotic pressure created
by a standard sport drink powder on the clean side of the
membrane.
Because HTI systems use osmotic pressure instead of hydraulic
pressure, our products do not have the clogging or fouling
problems inherent to other filtration systems. Even highly
turbid water, such as those found in the foulest ditch, will
not clog HTI products (tested to 800 ntu).
Whereas
conventional hand pump systems only filter to the 0.1 Micron
level, HTI is two hundred times more accurate filtering at
the .0005 Micron level (5 Angstroms). Because our membrane
is so tight, our products offer fluid purity on par with even
complicated and expensive Reverse Osmosis systems.
Other Advantages Include
No power or energy input required - silent operation no foul
tasting chemicals or contact time requirements no complicated
mechanical parts to break or maintain Very safe – highest
purity levels available in point-of-use filtration
