GOpure PuriBloc Portable Tap Water Filter Capsule
Product number: 62513
This mini GOpure Water Filter might not look like much, but it’s an incredibly powerful go-anywhere portable water filtration unit that can turn strong-tasting tap water into palatable, easy-to-drink H2O. Working in just seconds, it makes it super-easy to stay hydrated wherever you may be.
Cut down on single-use plastic water bottles
If you prefer the taste of bottled water to tap, but don’t want to keep buying and throwing plastic bottles away, this little capsule is a great way to make tap water taste better. Attracting and neutralising contaminants from up to a thousand litres of tap water, it lets you fill up your reusable bottle over and over again – up to two thousand times – so you can keep on enjoying great-tasting water and keep hundreds of single-use plastic water bottles out of the waste collection system and the environment.
How does it work?
Using PuriBloc Technology, inside the rugged polypropylene ‘cage’ there’s a ceramic tube with a natural positive charge that acts like a magnet to draw impurities into the filter while releasing valuable trace elements into the water. Containing millions of microscopic pores, despite its small size it’s able to purify, protect and preserve up to a thousand litres of water (264 US gallons). Within seconds, any contaminants in ordinary tap water are neutralised and, unlike carbon water filters that only work once, PuriBloc technology works continuously through a natural process known as ionic exchange, so it will keep making water fresh and great-tasting for up to six months.
Where can I use it?
Anywhere! The GOpure Pod will fit into almost any drinking bottle on the market, and can also be used in coffee machine reservoirs, jugs, carafes and insulated flasks – so you can purify tap water anywhere you travel, from shopping trips to marathon training, campsites to cruise liners.
You can even add it to your pet's drinking bowl so their water tastes better too, which is great if you're travelling and your pet gets sniffy about the taste of another region's tap water.
What’s it made from?
The ceramic core is made of diatomaceous earth (also called diatomite), a food-grade clay that’s mixed with a little silver zeolite – for its natural anti-bacterial properties – to help keep the ceramic core as hygienic as possible.
What does it filter out of water?
Apart from bad tastes, the clever formulation of the PuriBloc filter can help remove a huge percentage of the following nasties:
- Arsenic
- Chromium
- Copper
- Lead
- Manganese
- Mercury
- Zinc
- Cadmium
- Iron
- Chlorine
- Nitrate
- Nitrite
- Fluoride
- Aluminium
- Benzene
Please note: this product has been designed for use with potable water such as tap water only. It should not be used as a water purifier for untreated water.
GOpure, from Bloc Enterprises
Based in Ireland, Bloc Enterprises is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people and their pets, and dedicated to the practice of being a good steward of the earth. The GOpure filter came into its inventor’s mind after a car-clearing session made him ashamed of his wasteful tendency to buy and half-drink bottled water while he was out and about. He sought out world-renowned microbiologist, Dr Ronald Russell, at Trinity College in Dublin, to help realise his vision of introducing a portable water purifier for everyday use and eliminate the need for single-use plastic water bottles.
