SECTION 1

It does not take a disaster. It takes a bad afternoon.

Wichita, KS · Sept 16, 202645 min

A 45-minute power failure at the water plant put about 500,000 people under a boil-water order.

Texas · Feb 202114.9 M

People under boil-water notices at the peak of the freeze. Many had no power to boil anything.

SECTION 2

Your tap runs on electricity you never see.

Treatment plants and pump stations need power to push water to your faucet. When they stop, pressure drops and the water can no longer be trusted.

This kit needs none of it. No outlet, no battery, no pumping. Only gravity.

SECTION 3

Three steps. That is the whole manual.

  • Fill it from a tap, a rain barrel, a creek or a pond.
  • Hang it on a door, a branch or a shower rod.
  • Drink. A full gallon, filtered on its own, while you do something else.
SECTION 4

The kit, part by part

Four parts, one box. Everything fits together the first time. Tap a part to see what it does.

Gravity bag of the Hartenwell kit

1. Gravity bag

Holds one gallon (3.8 L) of source water. Roll the top, clip it shut, hang it. The wide opening fills from a tap, a rain barrel or a creek without a funnel.

Filter core of the Hartenwell kit

2. Filter core

A 0.1-micron hollow-fiber membrane. Water passes through thousands of tiny tubes; bacteria, parasites and microplastics are too large to follow. Removes 99.99% of each.

Hose of the Hartenwell kit

3. Hose

Carries water from the bag down to the filter. The longer the drop, the faster the flow. A shut-off valve stops it when your container is full.

Hang loop of the Hartenwell kit

4. Hang loop

A strap and clip that hold the full bag on a branch, a door handle, a shower rod or a car door.

It stores flat in a kitchen drawer or a car trunk and is ready for years.

Questions people ask before buying

Does it remove viruses?

No. The 0.1-micron membrane stops bacteria and parasites. For water that may carry viruses, filter first, then disinfect.

Can I use it during a boil-water notice?

It filters the bacteria and parasites that boil notices are usually issued for. Always follow your local authority's instructions.

What about chemicals or lead?

This is a physical filter. It does not remove chemicals, fuel, pesticides, heavy metals or salt. Use it on fresh water: tap, rain, creek, lake, pond.

How long does the filter last?

Rinse the core backward with clean water when the flow slows down. Replace the core when rinsing no longer restores the flow.

Can it freeze?

Never let the filter freeze while it is wet: ice can damage the membrane. Dry it fully before storing it in a cold place.

Why not a $25 filter straw?

A straw gives one person one sip at a time. This kit fills bottles and pots for the whole household while you do something else.

How fast does it ship?

Orders ship in 1 to 3 business days and arrive in 5 to 8 business days, with tracking. Shipping is free..
