About the filtration capabilities: 
The Heart of our portable filtration products is our new technologically
advanced porousplastic micro-filter. This breakthrough technology is the result
of the research of aerospace scientist, medical researchers, and water
purification specialist with over 30 years of product development experience. 
BlackHawk Industries / HydraStorm™ NOW offers Ionic-Adsorption Micro-Filtration
through this system of thousands of interconnected omni-directional pores. The
“Torturous Path” structure of these pores gives it a unique characteristic that
cannot be duplicated by any other porous material. 
This product offers, through medical technology, a uniform 2-micron pore size
for the assured reduction and removal of the above a, b, c, & d’s of
contamination. Under Seychelle’s exclusive process, the filter is then
impregnated with the finest granulated activated coconut carbon available, and
our proprietary sorbent medias.. Seychelle’s exclusive Ionic Absorption
Micro-Filtration coordinates all processes of contaminant reduction by
adsorption, absorption, chemical bonding, chelation and depth filtraiton. 
We use two types of Granulated Activated Coconut carbon to achieve the greatest
effect of reduction and high quality taste. 
This system is tested by only the highest quality, state approved laboratories
certified to test under the strictest EPA, ANSI & NSF standard methods and
protocol. 
The gallon volume of filtration capacity is tested to NSF standards 42 and 53.
Kit includes, black in-line carrier, filter and flush bulb. 
You need to flush your NEW filter with 8-16 oz of water to clean out any
manufacturing residue prior to use. 
Available in Black. 
Special Note: You will need to cut your tube in half at any location you want
to install the filter. The filter has barbs on each end to attach each end to
the tube. You may consider getting an extra delivery tube for back up use in
case you decide not to use the filter.
