Pure Hydration is a company owned and founded by Jon Grant, who has been involved with both the Marine Corps and Army Individual Water Purification programs. Pure Hydration’s latest product, the Sentinel InLine, was developed specifically for military application as an inline filtration system for use with military personnel in the field. It has to be noted that the Sentinel is currently in the prototype stage, although it has passed independent NSF P248 testing, and Pure Hydration is seeking funding through Kickstarter for further testing and refinement of the Sentinel.
Pure Hydration products feature purifiers which utilize a non-woven, tortuous path depth filter media, with up to 400 layers of pores between high surface area sub-micron fibers. The fibers remove negatively charged sub-micron particles through electroadhesion and electro adsorption, while larger particles are caught within the fiber matrix. Powdered carbon and silver ion components within the filter media further neutralize a broad spectrum of contaminants, allowing water to pass through the filter, clean and safe to drink. The filters have been tested as blocking the following media and pathogens:
