Rocky Mountain Survival Introduces New Personal Water Treatment System, the First to Use Nano-Silver Technology

    MONUMENT, CO, February 17, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rocky Mountain Survival co-founder, Tim Shettlesworth, has announced the introduction of the PurifiCup to the company's extensive line of emergency preparedness equipment and custom survival kits. The PurifiCup is a brand new personal
water treatment and purification system that's completely portable and the first of its kind to use nano-silver technology. This is great news for outdoorsmen and travelers alike that wish to be able to drink pure water wherever they are.

"The PurifiCup is unmatched in the industry," said Shettlesworth. "It's one of the best innovations to come out of the industry in a long time and we're gratified that we can offer it as part of our custom emergency preparedness line."

The PurifiCup is made of FDA approved materials and utilizes nano-silver technology to purify over 600 types of bacteria from drinking water. Also known as AG+, the non-toxic technology is routinely used in the medical industry to prevent contamination in surgical equipment. The PurifiCup represents the first time the technology has been utilized in a portable system.

The purificup utilizes a three-stage system to filter water, beginning with two nano-silver membranes to prevent back contamination and remove bacteria. An ion exchange resin, combined with activated carbon, kills pathogens, destroys parasites, and removes heavy metals and organic solvents. "This is very exciting" said Shettlesworth " because heavy metals and pesticides can be found in almost all untreated water sources."

A single filter will purify up to 11 gallons of water. The cup is completely self-contained and requires no hoses or other attachments. It can also be attached to a standard sized water bottle to provide filtered H2O.

Boiling questionable water to remove contaminants is no longer needed. The personal water filtration system purifies on the go and acts as a storage bottle. It's lightweight and fits easily in backpacks, handbags, briefcases and carry-ons. It's available in green and purple, and provides the perfect companion for world travelers, outdoorsmen, campers and anglers, along with boaters, hikers and any emergency preparedness kit.

The PurifiCup is the first personal water purifier
system of its kind and provides an innovative method of insuring access to pure water anywhere in the world, even under the worst of conditions. Co-founded by Shettlesworth and Dan Rivera, Rocky Mountain Survival field tests all of the products the company offers.
