HOLLOW FIBER TECHNOLOGY: Hollow fiber technology acts as a physical barrier that prevents pathogens like Cryptosporidium and Giardia from passing through the membrane. Simply shake or swish in water to both clean and extend the life of the filter. Hollow fiber can work in a variety of temperatures and climates. However, the filter can be damaged if left to freeze. • Ultralight • Lower initial cost • Easy cleaning • Ultra-fast flow.
