LifeStraw Mark II Filters Contaminated Water into Clean Water

Let us take a moment to look at the reality of things. Our world is a place where a lot of bad things are going on. This could include everything that ranges from murders, war, and those who struggle in developing countries. Words like murder and war are things that we seem to always talk about and complain about. We are always going out of our way to fix or promote both of them. Hopefully you noticed in that above statement how little we actually talk about those developing countries that are out there struggling. It is a fact that we are helping them through donating help and food supplies. One area in which it seems we have not been helping them is through invention. One company has aimed to changed that with the introduction of the LifeStraw Mark II.

The Vestergaard Frandsen company is dedicated to specializing in complex emergency responses and trying to create better ways to assist those in need of assistance. This has resulted in the company investing a lot of money to create the LifeStraw. The main purpose of the LifeStraw is to filter water so that you can drink. People who heard about the product understand that it came out amongst a lot of fanfare. Here was a product that could provide those who only have contaminated water supplies the opportunity to drink that water. Sadly, the first version of LifeStraw had a major flaw that made it not worth donating or owning. The company went back to th drawing board and has managed to fix the problem.

Reports indicate that the first version of the LifeStraw worked well at what is was supposed to do. The one issue with the product is that it left a very unpleasant iodine taste to the water. This taste left a gross feeling in your mouth and made you not want to use it any longer. The LifeStraw Mark II was created to eliminate the taste and succeeds at doing so. It also is being reported that it is capable of filtering out 99.999% of bacteria that is waterborne, and 98.7% of those waterborne viruses that you possibly could encounter. What Vestergaard Frandsen has shown here is their commitment to making a solid product that can indeed help those struggling countries who dearly need our help.
