Why does Aqua Mira not give the pore size on their website? They do say their microfilter removes 99.9% of Crypto and Giardia.

If YOU say their filter doesn't effectively remove those bugs, and you treat for 30 minutes before filtering as per your video, are you really treating long enough to kill crypto? No. I'd think the filtering could be removing the chemical from the water, so your chemical treatment time beyond 30 mins could not be relied upon. Your use of "big stuff" and "small stuff" is ambiguous.

With all due respect, using the term invention is best reserved for true inventions, not cutting up a bag to use as a scoop when it's been done by others for years. A ziplock freezerbag is lighter. The same goes for adding string to a platypus to use it upside down. Been done for years by others. Some of the talk of inventions and designs seem odd.


On the first point are you suggesting that after the 30 min. the filter removes the checmical and so any effects it would have had are negated? Whatever the chemical killed is already dead so even if the filter removes the chemical, it doesn't mean that it reverses it's effect. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point?

On the second point, I'm not really interested in debating the semantics of the word "invention" in this thread. That's just the syntax I chose in the video which wasn't scripted or scrutinized for such details. You can substitute "invented by" for "suggested by" if you like. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
