Drinc Filters- How it works

how it works

Our advanced multi-stage filtration system removes >99.9% of harmful bacteria from almost any water source.

Each filter consists of a silver-impregnated ceramic shell containing an activated charcoal interior medium. The Large filter also includes a fabric cover placed over the ceramic shell to remove larger debris.

As contaminated water is pulled through the filter, any visible debris is filtered out first, followed by harmful bacteria and microscopic pathogens down to 0.2 microns.

Important Warning Notice

The drinC filter is designed for use with water from natural water sources. It is specifically designed to remove bacteria commonly found in most natural water sources. Some natural water sources may however contain additional contaminants that the drinC filter has not been designed to remove. Therefore, it is important that you refer to the comprehensive list of drinC filter specifications above before use. If you are unsure in regard to the source of the water or the potential contaminants therein, it is safer not to drink the water.

drinC water filters have been clinically tested by accredited laboratories to verify their performance.
