Complex systems on board the International Space Station (ISS) collect
and recycle moisture using powerful filtration technology. The filters
not only supply ISS occupants with drinkable water; they are likely to
play a role in future deep space missions as well.
The same filtration technology used by ISS occupants to recycle bodily
fluids into potable water, is now used by OKO's filter bottles.
Allowing consumers, travelers to over 140 countries, and outdoorsmen
to turn water from questionable sources and even lakes and streams
into a safe drinkable state, OKO bottles are BPA free and made of FDA
food compliant materials.
OKO filtration water bottles may also be used during emergencies and
disaster preparedness. "Our lab tests show 99.999% efficacy against
elimination of cryptosporidium and giardia lamblia, two the most
common waterborne bacteria found in outdoor lakes and streams," says
Mohssen Ghiassi, Founder of OKO.
