WATER NEWS - FIRST NEED ® PORTABEL WATER PURIFIERS

First Need® Portable Water Purifier Test Best in Flow Rate

General Ecology's First Need portable water purifier, the first choice of knowledgeable outdoors people, demonstrated its superiority once again in competitive field tests conducted by the well known outdoors magazine Couloir. In the article "Water Purifiers - How to Avoid Giardia Roulette," (April/May 1996 issue), Couloir's equipment editor, Larry Amkraut, rates top selling portable water purification systems.

Amkraut writes:

"For years, the combination of low cost and reliability made the ubiquitous First Need the most popular filter in North America. ...the First Needis easy to use, it costs little, and it was the fastest filter tested...AND it was the only filter that consistently pumped about a quart a minute."
Amkraut should know: he has trekked across the U.S. and beyond. His tests were conducted under field conditions. When Amkraut reviews a product, he'd BETTER be right, as the Couloir audience is comprised of serious outdoor enthusiasts who look to the magazine for dependable safety expertise.

First Need portable water purifier easily surpasses the competition because it is the only water "purifier" certified to federal standards that requires NO chemicals to remove all three types of waterborne contaminants:

• cysts (like Giardia and Cryptosporidia)
• bacteria
• viruses

First Need portable water purifier also accomplishes its purification with a single pass through and no guessing about additional settling times. It's the quality portable system chosen and depended upon by the military and professional outdoors people who demand the very best.

The First Need portable water purifier is available at better outdoor retail outlets, or directly through General Ecology, Inc.
