I hope these become widely available. If the SHTF most deaths will occur from drinking contaminated water.

A few of these filters in a community could reduce illnesses by yards and yards. If they work well.....

Great news!
Get it to market before the Gen21/Marxist left sinks their claws into its distribution.

Man, we could use these in Florida. The water in this state tastes and smells so crappy.

There is a very inexpensive, effective and reliable filter that was long used in old Mexico. If you take a large block of limestone, hollow out its interior, and carve the lower side to a point, many contaminants are eliminated as water slowly seeps through the rock. Calcium and sometimes magnesium are added.
This is what it looks like in practice:

Please make a whole house filter. I’ll pay more than $16.

You realize of course that the $16.00 figure only refers to the actual makeup of the product, when pushed into production the cost will necessarily increase to $16,000.00 per gallon of water produced.

A good Katadyn personal water filter costs $300+ and to be safe you should still chemically treat the water for viruses. This new technology would be a great, cheap alternative solution if brought into mass production.

I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record on these threads, but once again, I'd suggest a slow sand filter (aka biosand filter) as a first-stage filter to get the biggest of the nasties out of the water and leave this to pick up where the slow sand filter leaves off.
To build a slow sand filter, the details are available at http://www.cawst.org/en/resources/pubs/training-materials/file/186-biosand-filter-for-technicians-manual-eng or you can just poke a hole in the bottom of a 5-gallon pail, fill the bottom inch or so of the pail with gravel, fill the rest of the pail with sand, and that's it.
There's more to building a using a working biosand filter, but that's the simplest setup.
