The RapidPure 01600105 Purifier + UltraLight Straw delivers reliable water purification in a compact, portable design that removes 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and parasites from natural water sources. This lightweight filtration system combines advanced purification technology with the convenience of a direct-drink straw format, making it essential gear for outdoor adventures, emergency preparedness, and tactical operations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic water filters that only remove bacteria and larger contaminants, the RapidPure system employs POD (Purifier of Doom) technology that eliminates viruses, bacteria, parasites, and chemicals in a single pass. The dual-stage filtration process combines activated carbon with advanced purification media to achieve true water purification rather than simple filtration. This technology removes particles as small as 0.1 microns while maintaining fast flow rates of up to 3 liters per minute.
