Indiegogo Campaign Takes Aim at Emergency Preparedness and Water Filtration
Aliso Viejo, California (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- Following September’s National Preparedness Month, SimpliPure, a developer of reusable water filtration and purification products, is launching an Indiegogo campaign with the goal of funding a self-powered, portable, safe drinking water purification unit, LifeCan. The five-gallon, BPA-free, vessel combines technology with convenience to provide life-saving hydration when needed during emergencies or whenever clean water isn’t available.
The LifeCan purifies water from any source, except salt water, even the most contaminated and toxic water can be used. The multi-stage ultra filtration system removes sediments, turbidity, many chemicals and 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of viruses for immediate, safe drinking water. The Indiegogo will allow SimpliPure to complete the manufacturing and distribution of LifeCan and helps ensure that people around the world have expanded access to clean, safe drinking water.
Only 15% of families are prepared for natural disasters that frequently cause contamination to the water supply. The Red Cross recommends that one gallon per person, per day, is set aside. With LifeCan, clean water is available immediately.
“LifeCan purifies the dirtiest water from the most polluted sources and turns it into clean drinking water in seconds,” states company founder, Tareq Risheq. “We tested the LifeCan across the world in some very prominent and polluted water sources – from the Nile River to the River Jordan, the Amazon River, the Mississippi and Chicago Rivers, to the Central Park Duck Pond, to water pumps in Haiti and refugee camps in the Middle East – to showcase how effective the technology actually is.”
There are more than one billion people around the world who lack access to safe drinking water and millions die each year from waterborne pathogens including E. coli, cholera and giardia, to name a few. To further underscore their dedication to eliminating this problem, SimpliPure will donate a LifeCan for every unit purchased to a family in need.
