DrinkPure can provide clean water in seconds.

The idea is simple and innovative: a filter that can be attached to any plastic bottle and turns contaminated water into drinking water in a matter of seconds
. The Swiss student Jeremy Nussbaumer is responsible for the invention, called DrinkPure. It’s ideal not only for travelers, hikers and campers, but the main goal of this project is to help supply drinking water to populations in remote areas.


Filters based on activated carbon already exist in countless different models and prices to provide drinking water. With this new product, the tendency to reduce the waste will only increase. Made from recycled material, the filter adapts easily to a common plastic bottle and works in three simple steps: polluted water passes through a prefilter that removes dirt and large debris; The water then passes through a layer of activated carbon, where odor, heavy metals and chemicals are retained. Finally, a pore membrane retains all the bacteria, resulting in clean, drinkable water.

The idea not only serves to replace a mere glass of water, but also avoids many other things. Among them are the effects caused by contaminated water, particularly in countries with poor sanitation. DrinkPure aims to be produced locally, which further lowers their cost, making it accessible anywhere in the world.
The project is in the Indiegogo crowd funding website, where it earned US$ 60,000 beating the initial US$ 40,000 goal​​.
