Apparently the filters in it are smaller than any organic matter on earth. I know it does not do the trick with salt water (although a prototype one was being devolped) but not sure how it does with chemically contaminated water.
But the guy developed it for tsunami or earthquake survivors or regions where water was available, it just wasn't the cleanest. He figures if they shipped out his water filters instead of gallons of water jugs to places like Africa, it would wipe out people dying becuase lack of water.
Impressive technology and if true, would end peoples dependance on delivered drinking water. The filters were estimated to last long enough to provide one person with drinkable water for 1 year.
I would LOVE it if one day, houses could come off the grid for power, water and heat. Each house had the ability to produce water, heat and power all by itself. Man that would be nice.

or you could just use
this system which can apparently purify any water source no matter what's in it. i really hope it's the real deal and not some marketing BS the guy is feeding us, because that would seem to solve all water issues instantly
EDIT: hmm, it does
appear to be real and if the inventor can get the cost down to $1000-$2000 per unit like he says, then he could potentially go down as one of the most important people in human history. wonder why no one outside of Colbert in the mainstream media has really picked up on this thing
