The replacement cartridge for General Ecology’s Trav-L-Pure traveller’s water purifier.

Drink pure, safe water anywhere in the world. The Trav-L-Pure purifies water instantly without chemicals or electricity. Ideal for resort and business travel. No backwashing, hoses or chemicals needed.

This is a ‘Purifier’, not simply a filter

Unlike typical water filters & microfilters, General Ecology’s unique “Structured Matrix” technology is comprehensively effective in removing all 3 classes of microbiological contaminants:

• Cysts (ie. cryptosporidia, giardia)
• Bacteria (ie. e.coli, fecal coliform)
• Viruses

The First Need is also effective in removing a wide range of specific chemical contaminants, including…

• Pesticides
• Herbicides
• Industrial solvents
• Chlorine
• Foul tastes and odors

The Trav-L-Pure does all this instantly, with no hold time, and no chemical treatment. The Trav-L-Pure is fully certified to meet the EPA’s very rigorous Microbiological Standard for Drinking Water Purifiers.

How it works…
General Ecology’s unique “Structured Matrix” utilizes three natural, non-chemical mechanisms to purify your water better than any other technology. The ULTRAFINE CARTRIDGE microstrains down to 0.1 micron (0.4 absolute) – small enough to remove Giardia, cryptosporidia, and harmful bacteria. A BROAD SPECTRUM MOLECULAR CAPTURE process removes chlorine, foul tastes and odors, along with specific pesticides, herbicides and solvents. ELECTROCHEMICAL SEPARATIONS then remove colloids and other particles even smaller than those removed by ultrafine microstraining.

Due to this combined effectiveness, the Trav-L-Pure is certified to meet the EPA Guide Standard for Microbiological Puriiers against bacteria, cysts, and viruses. Click here to view a performance comparison chart.
