3What is The SURVIVAL BAG?
- Contaminated, dirty, unsafe water is poured in
the top opening of the bag and clean water flows
out through the cartridge to deliver guaranteed
bacterially safe water for use. - Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts, Salmonella,
Campylobacter, E.coli and even Viruses are
destroyed. - Scientifically proven (see Hills Laboratory
testing protocol and test results) to safeguard
grossly contaminated water and render it safe to
drink with NIL bacteria, NIL cysts and 99.97 of
viruses destroyed.
4CERTIFIED TECHNOLOGY
- The SURVIVAL BAG has a 1 micron cloth bag filter
inside a heavy duty PVC outer bag. The bag
filter removes all cysts, Giardia, and
Cryptosporidium as well as sediment and can be
reversed for cleaning. The bag holds approx. 10
litres of water which is gravity fed through a
purification cartridge. The unit produces 15
litres per hour at 22C, of safe drinking water
from microbiologically contaminated source
waters. The cartridge life is over 9,000 litres
before replacement. The single cartridge uses
the MCV Iodinated resin and Iodosorb iodine
scavenger developed by Water Security Corp.
Nevada, U.S.A. - These are both Space Certified Technologies and
used by NASA for water purification on all Space
Shuttles. Recently, Water Security Corp. was
inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame
for their innovative work in water purification.

6TEST METHODOLOGY
Methodology Bag Filter / MCV Iodinated Resin
Cartridge Water Treatment Trial - November
2006 Analytical testing conducted by Hill
Laboratories Microbiology Department.
Christchurch, New Zealand. The trial was set up
by Sue and Russell Kelly from World Wide Water
Ltd, with the analytical testing for Escherichia
coli carried out by RJ Hill Laboratories Ltd and
the analytical testing for phage levels carried
out by Watercare Services Ltd. Barbara Müller
(Section Manager) from Hill Laboratories observed
this trial in its entirety. A Bag Filter / MCV
Iodinated Resin Cartridge treatment system was
used for the treatment of water of varying
quality. The system first preliminarily filters
the water by passing it through a bag
incorporating a filter mesh of 1 2µm. From the
bag the water passes through an in-line cartridge
containing activated carbon / MCV Iodinated
resin, then through Iodosorb and more carbon
before being collected for use. Rather than
seeding water samples with a laboratory strain
E.coli, the trial was carried out using raw
sewage mixed into river water. This was done to
ensure that the trial represented as close to a
real field situation as possible. By using raw
sewage and river water the trial simulates what
may happen in a real emergency situation where
water of drinking quality becomes contaminated
with large volumes of raw sewage. Raw,
untreated sewage was collected from the Bromley
Sewage treatment plant, Christchurch. A 5 sewage
/ river water mix was created in a 25 Litre tank
with a pump attached, capable of pumping 2.75
LPM. The pump was used to mix the contents of
the tank for 40 minutes. A sample of the 5
sewage / river water mix was taken after mixing
was complete. The 5 sewage / river water mix was
passed through the treatment system at a rate of
200cc per minute. A sample was taken after the
in-line cartridge Iodinated resin treatment
7THE SURVIVAL BAG Assembly
8Over 9000 litres of SAFE water
- Apart from oxygen, water is
- the most basic requirement for survival.
- Following an earthquake, major flooding or any
other disaster, clean safe drinking water is one
of the most urgent necessities for survival. - When necessary the human body can survive many
days without food, but only 3-5 days without
water. - With electricity disrupted, water pumps will not
be working in towns and cities. - Broken water and sewerage pipes mean that water
may be available but it will not be safe to drink
or use. - Village water sources will be contaminated.
- The SURVIVAL BAG provides over 9000 litres of
safeguarded water at a flow of 15 litres per hour
at 22C. - The SURVIVAL BAG weighs less than 2kg and is
easily portable. - The orange tube can be used to scoop unsafe water
and pour it into the bag. The smaller end can be
used to receive the safe water. - The cord on the top of the bag has been designed
to have multiple uses, i.e. can be used as a
tourniquet to stop bleeding, as a part of a
splint, or in many other emergency situations.
9The SURVIVAL BAG / Bottled Water Comparison
- 12 pallets of bottled water as pictured, weighs
approximately 7500kg and provides approximately
6900 Litres of water .
10Water is heavy! Every litre of water weighs 1
kilogram.
- 1 carton of ten SURVIVAL BAGS (270cm x 630cm x
650 cm) weighs only 21kg. - Ten SURVIVAL BAGS can safely treat over 90,000
litres of water! - Individual SURVIVAL BAGS have been successfully
airdropped from 110 feet into water without
damage or breakage. -
11SURVIVAL BAG CAPACITY
- The United Nations/World Health Organisation
(UN/WHO) recommend a minimum water requirement
for survival of 2 litres per person, per day
(LPP/PD), with an optimal figure of 5-7 LPP/PD. - At 2 LPP/PD, one SURVIVAL BAG would satisfy the
daily needs of 180 people. - At 5 LPP/PD, one SURVIVAL BAG would satisfy the
daily needs of 72 people.
