The SeaPack is a multi-use emergency desalination filter that removes 97% of salt from seawater to produce 500 ml of electrolyte enhanced emergency hydration drink per use. This filter can be used 8 times in seawater over 10 days. The natural Forward Osmosis process requires no pumping and the tight membrane filter removes viruses, bacteria and cysts in addition to salt from the seawater. The SeaPack comes with eight 4 oz. grape nutrient charges. The SeaPack is simple to use; just inject one 4 oz. nutrient charge bottle into the green port, and fill the red port with saltwater. Nature takes over from there, osmotically drawing fresh water through the membrane while rejecting salt molecules. The filter will produce a life saving drink in as little as 5 hours.
Because the SeaPack is passive, there is no pumping involved. This is obviously an advantage if the user has been injured and would have difficulty operating a pump-style system.
