Bottle makes dirty water drinkable

The
way fresh water is supplied to disaster-hit regions could be
revolutionised after an Ipswich-based businessman invented a £190
bottle that makes foul-smelling water drinkable in seconds.

Michael

disaster regions where access to clean drinking water is vital.

However,
the military are already latching on to his idea. Four hours after Mr
Pritchard launched his new "Life Saver" bottle at the DESI defence show
in London yesterday, he sold out his entire 1,000 stock. "I am bowled
over," he said.

Military chiefs are excited because the
bottles, which can distill either 4,000 litres or 6,000 litres without
changing the filter, will have huge benefits for soldiers who hate
drinking iodine-flavoured water.

In July a protype of the bottle was voted "Best Technological Development" at the Soldier Technology conference.
