Basics
- An OSLT / Appropriate Materials type approach to Water Filtration
- Essentially a bag made of Tightly Woven Canvas (Typically something like Cotton that is cellulosic and porous) that filters MOST particles out of water
- Probably not good enough compared to Microfiltration / Nanofiltration via Hollow Fiber Membrane based solutions like Lifestraw / Portable Water Filtration Pumps (such as those made by MSR etc)
- If combined with Boiling (Essentially 100c Based Pasteurization , Modified Procedures like Tyndallization , and Autoclaving can be more effective against more durable pathogens/products such as spores), it can make safe water from a comparatively simple process
COTS Options
Usual Flow Rate
- In terms of planning, per each bag how much water per minute/hour etc?
