The Only Way To Get Clean Water With Puribag

DO NOT USE A WATER SOURCE LIKE THIS. THIS IS FOR DEMO ONLY.

@CURRIN1776 tests out the Puri Bag using a Mud Hole.... Let us know in the comments what you think about this product.

The 10L Puribag uses an ‘in-bag’ 30-minute water treatment process incorporating filter technologies, flocculation/sorption, and chemical disinfection to meet World Health Organization (WHO) requirements for safe drinking water. Puribag has been classified by the WHO as a Comprehensive Protection water treatment product.

Puribag is a portable source of safe water for those on the move, working by capturing and treating the water, while evacuating the waste during treatment which limits any risk of re-contamination, ensuring the water is safe to drink for days.

Puribag can handle both high and low turbidity source waters, with high and low contaminant levels, offering a fully integrated approach to water treatment.

TOP 9 Water Filters for Every Situation:

[pforce]

About 35 years ago a scientist told me that he could make any water drinkable by adding something to it. He never told me how this would be accomplished so I am so glad to see your video.

[DaveWhoa]

Active Ingredients: "The P&G Purifier of Water is a sachet containing *powdered ferric sulfate and calcium hypochlorite.* The ferric sulfate acts as a coagulant and aggregates suspended particulates and larger microbes. The resulting floccules then settle to the bottom of the water container. The calcium hypochlorite (bleach powder) acts as a disinfectant."

[onerimeuse]

That's honestly incredible to watch. I watched a video about the guy who discovered this chemical. He was using it to clean waterways and things. Really brilliant and fascinating stuff. It never ceases to amaze me how well it works.

The intent behind the twist inside the smaller blue clip _is_ to make the water leak through so you can rinse the gunk out the bottom and do a second cycle. If you had a second of the purple rib-clips you could seal the mid portion below the spout. TBH taking a cloth sock bailer with you so settle out any random catch particulate big enough to be filtered by cloth alone is a good idea. So this kit would be best with two bags and their clips, a silicone bucket and a cloth sock bailer (3 cup tall mug with the filtering sock insert thing that you can boil in). This bag seems expertly designed instead of marketing designed. Looks like the spout can be coupled with some other equipment for larger operations made easier, say quickly transferring using a drain hose lead into a boiling tank? I would also presume the bags have a limited lifespan and the twist also serves to keep people from using bags with higher and higher probabilities of biocontamination. Thinker-proofing products is a newer trend in survival and first aid (and medical equipment all the way up to brain surgery) gear.

As far as a water purification system for large quantities of water I see tremendous benefit of that system. With the “water” you used that definitely made a huge difference but definitely putting in a container that you can boil it before using it. Great demonstration.

[Roberto-gpyx]

I would definitely pair this with my katadyne ceramic filter.
There was a time I was on a trail and the next water source was roughly 10 miles away and I didn’t want to use up my drinking water to cook a quick meal and I found a small water source but was not the best quality
I used the bandana filter method 3times until I got clean enough water to pass through my filter then I boiled it and cooked my meal.
If I had this product that would’ve purified that muddy water better than the bandana method for sure.
I’m definitely adding this to my arsenal of purification products

You should do a clean water source. That way we'd see how much sediment one would be swallowing if they drank the water without a filter

[Mightymouse]

Yeah this bag works great as long as you keep the floaters in the bag to a minimum. You dont have to completely avoid them but its best to not stir up the murky water so the bag doesn’t clog

[wbond]

I love the treatment, and I love this bag.
The treatment is a Godsend to those around the world who have very little choice but to make do with what they have. Small, lightweight, takes up no space and is *essential* to those who shouldn't trust water just because it "looks alright". I have at least one packet in every first aid kit and bug out bag that I have. I have been using them since Curran1776 has been sporting peach-fuzz.
However, each tiny little packet treats up to 2.5 gallons of water. Using a whole packet on whatever I can fit on my Solo stove just feels like a waste. Especially backpacking, there are few options to carry that much water from the source back to camp. Let alone something durable enough to stir and not end up losing half your water because of something you rigged together that wasn't up to the task.
Which is why I *love* this bag. It appears to be a strong design, so it won't fall apart. The design allows you to ditch the crud so it's not sitting there in full view while you intend to use it. It has its own tap with it's own filter for a little more peace of mind. And the best part? It will fold flat and take up no space in your gear to interrupt your trekking. I already want three.
Great find Currin. This is *essential* kit. Now only if I could see into a future where it shows up into one of Battlbox. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

[johnbowden]

My guess is the blue clip is designed to allow a small amount of water flow to rinse the sediment from the bottom section. Just my 2 cents.

[Piggers]

Seems like a great product. Even if it's a first stage for really dirty water. It will spare your primary filter the punishment.

[MK-lknc]

what I like as a filter is an upside down 2 liter bottle with the bottom cut off, so it's a big funnel/cup, cloth ziptied over the spout, fill it halfway up with fine sand on the bottom and gravel on the top, then pour water through that and into a container that has been coated with a drop or two of bleach. it's not perfect but it's a pretty good start, and from what I've read it apparently removes (some) radiation, as well, which is a neat bonus. Maybe that could work out well alongside this bag here, so you preprocess it like that so the magic flagulent stuff doesn't have to work quite so hard to get the job done.

[DragonsinGenesisPodcast]

The only way you can use a filter in those conditions is to also use a pre-filter. You would need a funnel packed with cotton and paper towels to run the water through to remove larger debris. Then you can run that through something like a Sawyer. It’s a pain, but it’s the only way to filter something that bad without access to a chemical flocculant. And the pre-filter method will clog after a bit.

I'm a indian and i didn't know about this even it's indian product. Thanks for the video

[Xstevenn]

Would love to see u do a water quality test to see how good it actually is after

[tulkaso]

This video was pure information. This process is awesome. Unfortunately in dry times those with less have to resort to this type of worst case scenario water. Good to know this stuff is out there 👍

[jaybrooks]

The key ingredient of the powder is a polymer of the amino acid glutamic acid, a coagulant made from fermented soybeans, which helps quicken the coagulation of impurities in water. It was designed for laundry detergent. It was food safe so they looked for other uses. P & G makes and distribute it.

There should be salts added to fix the flavor. Some come with sanitizer in it too.

The clumps are the polymer chains. So thats not totally dirt. Its a gooey mess

It is a impressive reaction for sure..

[matthooks]

That was amazing! I especially liked that you decided to give it a second treatment which really brought the water to actually being clear!

[formliy]

That is one of the most amazing survival products I have seen. I don't know what kind of binding agents they use to separate the dirt and debris but it's fascinating to watch it work. I hope I never need something like it but I am going to check the shelf life of the chemicals and consider getting one just in case.

Thanks for the great video.
