Hydro Blu Information

Founded at the base of the Wasatch Front mountain range in Utah, we have the perfect proving grounds for water filtration. We are outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, backpackers, and survivalists, and love being outside. Our goal is simple. We wanted to create a water filter that we would use and not break the bank to buy. We chose to sell our water filters direct to you so we could keep the price down. Sure we probably wont sell as many filters as we could if we sold them through a big box sporting goods store, but they would increase the price. We believe everyone should have access to clean and safe drinking water. We chose to only offer a few products because we dont want to be everything to everyone. We made products that can be used in everyday life, whether that is traversing the urban jungle for your 9-5 or you are racing across India in a tuk-tuk. We are all about adventure and creating cool experiences. Our products are simple to use, are chemical free and dont require any electricity or a ton of accessories. They are virtually plug and play to use and then they get out of your way. Stay thirsty and stay safe. How Do Water Filters Work?

There are various methods of water treatment but using a water filter is the safest and easiest way to keep your water clean. There are two classes or types of water filters based on how they filter; Size Exclusion and Absorption. Size Exclusion uses a "round hole, square peg" method. As a square peg will not fit into a round hole size exclusion prohibits contaminants from passing through the filter by using smaller holes than the size of the contaminates. Imagine trying to push a basketball through a garden hose. The diameter of the hose is too small for the basketball to fit. The pore size or hole size of a filter using size exclusion is large enough to allow water through but small enough to keep contaminants such as E.coli giardia ...
