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 Need is 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.
The First Need 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:
The First Need 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® is available at better outdoor retail outlets, or directly through General Ecology.
