Bacteria also have relatively short life spans (measured in hours, not days or years). Bacteria, like people, need food to exist and multiply. Typically, this food comes from organic contamination in the water. Since Bacteria are removed on the outer surfaces of the cartridge matrix and the nutrients (food for the bacteria) are absorbed in the interior of the matrix, the Seagull IV purification cartridge effectively isolates bacteria from an essential food base. ...  more
