ABC: New Inventors: tonight.
My opinion:
. lovely, simple technology, butt, errr ,the price?
This is possibly a Rotary-backed product, designed for disaster areas, and (unless my short term memory is more stuffed than I realize), at $350 an item, NO WAY.
C'mon fellers, at $50 apiece, you're ahead. If you can't vacuum-form the backing for 10 cents a throw,then you're not talking to the right people. (ok $1 a sheet)
uv transperent glass, dunno. >$7.00?
Sorry to comment so late:Had a wee family crisis: I wanted to shout it to the world, but the Master (or is that the Mattress?) said "no".

a litre a day per Panel?
a family surviving on 4 litres a day? only just
seemed a bit expensive.
the chinese copy will be in bunnings soon, 4 for $50, sound about right?

Looked a good idea, but I agree with you about the price.
Correct me here, but wasn't it $350.00 for one, $280.00 ea. for 5, and a 1/3rd of $350.00 for a large number?
Came in about a 1/3rd the way in, didn't realise it only does 4l a day.
Just the thing for
camping!

Hi Jeff
I came across this MSR
water purifier www.msrcorp.com/filters/
in a site I came across where a Polish guy rode a push bike the length of the Canning Stockroute in 2005. wildworks.co.nz/csr/home.php
The reason for his success was very good planning & gear selection. There was no need to carry large quantities of
water as he could purify
water from almost any source en route.
Regards
John A
