MUV Adaptable Water Filter

I was able to be part of a usability study for this water filter and I am excited to see how it turned out! @jman was there also and a few others from bogley. I preordered the Eclipse package last night on Kickstarter.

All-in-one Water Filter Launching on Kickstarter
MUV, Adaptably Designed for Active Adventurers

Salt Lake City, UT (May 23, 2016) — One water filter to rule them all. That’s the idea behind MUV, an innovative, adaptable water filter funding soon on Kickstarter. It quickly filters any water, whether sourcing from kitchen taps to alpine streams, using modular technology that works with a water bottle, hydration reservoir, or as a gravity filter to get clean water anytime, anywhere.

“MUV is the first and only filter to adapt to both your activity and the water source you are filtering. Having worked in the outdoor industry for years and doing everything from hiking and canyoneering to car camping, I realized there was a spot in the filter market that wasn’t being addressed,” says Renovo Water’s President, Daniel Beck.

MUV addresses the needs of all outdoor enthusiasts by combining three filter technologies—activated carbon, hollow fiber membrane, and Nanalum—and stacking them together to filter out five types of contaminants from any water source:

● Heavy Metals - Iron and lead
● Chemicals - Chlorine, arsenic, fertilizers, pesticides, diesel fuel, and more
● Microbiology/Bacteria - Giardia, E. coli, Cryptosporidium, Protozoan Cysts
● Viruses - Hepatitis A, Polio, Typhoid, enteroviruses, and more
● Sediment – Remove bad taste and dirty color from water

Nanalum is included to provide full chemical, viral, and bacterial protection, “Not only did we develop a unique and adaptable filter system, but we developed using the latest in filter technology, what we call Nanalum. This material is born in NASA labs and is a nano-technology ideal for filtering everything from chemicals to bacteria and even viruses while still maintaining high flow rates,” says Beck, Renovo Water President.

Renovo Water: Based in Utah, Renovo Water’s team is made up of outdoor adventurers experienced in drinking backcountry water. Unsatisfied with current water filters on the market, they spent three years developing, designing, and testing to create a water filter that meets the needs of every type of adventurer and stands the test of time to deliver clean, safe water with every use.

That nanalum (pronounced nana-Loom) technology is very impressive. Looking forward to testing it out in some nasty canyon water!

I also backed 'em with the Eclipse package.

Looks interesting. I've been pretty happy with my Sawyer squeeze system, but am intrigued by an in-line filter to my Camelbak. Would certainly save me some time.

I do wonder what the replacement modules will cost, since the Nanalum and carbon filters won't last as long.

Yeah, I've wondered that too. A guy was saying that the Nanalum lasts +/- 95gallons.

He was saying that the 3rd option shouldn't be used that often. The 1st and 2nd modules should be the most commonly used.

This system is great in my mind because you have everything from the in-line, straw, Gravity fed, and pump modes.

Looks like a cool filter. Removing the color from the water is good. It's still difficult for some to drink brown or yellow water from a stagnant lake, even though they know their filter is working. I wonder how clear it gets, how much color can really be removed.

The Swiss Army Knife of filters!
