What is the significance of our HSL-1/ disaster relief system passing the NSF P-248 testing protocol?
Our new HSL-1 unit is the first gravity fed static water purification system to pass the NSF P-248 testing for tainted municipal water. The development of this system was initiated by the Department of State FEMA for use during a wide variety of natural and emergency conditions. The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) was enlisted to select and test this system. This system had to remove or inactivate microbiological contaminants (Viral, bacterial and cysts) from virtually any municipal water source. The NSF P248 testing protocol is extremely challenging from both a micro-biological and turbidity perspective. NOTE: this system was required to be ‘ready to use’ right out of the carton. No need to add any type of chemical liquid or tablet for the disinfected phase.
