Additional Product Information
A Friend for Off-the-Grid. Whether you’re on the move or filtering water in your own home, the Uzima UZ- 1 serves as a portable and household filtration product. The filter packs a whole lot of power for a device you can hold in the palm of your hand.
UZ-1 Designed for Wherever the Wind Takes You:
Originally crafted for developing homes and communities in Kenya, the filtration technology is built with flexibility and sustainability in mind. The filter requires no electricity, consumables, or replaceable parts which makes it a worthwhile tool for on-the-go. Its ability to filter large quantities of water (16L before backwashing) for up to 10 years is proof of its livable, reliable structure.
Powerful Protection Against Pathogens and Health Costs:
The staple filter is a great sidekick to fighting harmful bacteria, protozoa, and cysts. With a 0.1 micron hollow fiber membrane, 99.999999% of pathogens are safely removed to produce clean drinking water. The product not only clears water of contaminants, but it clears the bank of overwhelming healthcare and water costs. Clean water with UZ-1 means less symptoms, no filter up-keep costs, and less time worrying about your next bank statement.
A Perfect Backup When You Need to Pack Up:
Though the UZ-1 is the original Uzima filter, it serves as a wonderful replacement filter for the UZ-GP Backpack System and UZ-2. Each filter comes with a backflushing syringe to refresh and cleanse the filter, making it a trusty, long-term tool for different environments.
How to Use:
1. Drill holes into two 20L (5 gallon) buckets and a singular lid
2. Attach provided bucket connector along with the filter and water tap
3. That’s it, your water is ready to be cleaned!
