The HydroPack - Help is on the Way

The HydroPack™ is a single-use emergency water filter that delivers 500 milliliters of hydration from virtually any water source. When a HydroPack is dropped in a polluted source, water is filtered as it is drawn through the membrane overnight by osmosis, mixing with electrolytes and nutrient-rich powders to create a safe, flavored and life-saving drink.

The HydroPack uses a unique cellulose membrane that provides the highest degree of filtration possible. This paper-thin barrier – developed by HTI and made from Eastman’s cellulose acetate – blocks dirt, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants with a success rate that exceeds EPA standards for water purification. Once water is drawn in, the HydroPack’s protective membrane eliminates the possibility of recontamination. The nutrient powder inside produces an osmotic pressure that naturally draws water in through the membrane. HTI’s filtration process is known as forward osmosis and is identical to the process plants u
