Filter Types Our products come with either a Standard or Advanced filter. The type of filter is indicated by the words Standard (Std.) or Advanced (Adv.) in the product name.
Seychelle Standard Filter The Standard filter is ideal for any in or out-door use; like traveling, hiking, biking, camping, fishing or for emergency purposes. It can be used with any type of water source excluding salt water such as tap or rainwater, rivers, streams or even lakes.
It removes up to 99.99% of contaminants and pollutants found in fresh water supplies including Ascetics such as Chlorine, sediment and dirt; Biologicals such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E-Coli Bacteria; Chemicals (VOC’S) such as DDT, MTBE, Benzene, Chloroforms (THM'S); and Dissolved Solids (Heavy metals) such as Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Copper, Zinc, Aluminum and Chromium 6.
Seychelle Advanced Filter The Advanced filter is made of the same media as the Standard filter with the addition of EPA approved iodinated resin (EPA Reg #: 35917-2), which has been proven effective in the removal of bacteria and virus to six logs (99.9999%).
BIOSAFE® antimicrobial media has been added to all Seychelle filters. It is safe, non-toxic and non-leaching; EPA, FDA and NSF approved. It acts like a pincushion of molecules that are permanently bonded to the filter that disrupts and ruptures the cell structures of water borne micro-organisms. Its biostatic effect reduces bacteria to 99.99%. BIOSAFE® has an indefinite shelf life.
