  • Size of a conventional iron – should fit in a backpack/rucksack

  • Hand operated, no batteries, no electricity

  • Guaranteed 2 Liters per hour (but up to to 3 in optimal conditions)

  • Super cheap membrane replacement = $10 (hopefully recyclable)

  • Springwater taste achieved with activated charcoal

  • Rich in healthy minerals

  • Minimum equivalent 8 Glasses of water per hour (8 x 240ml = 1,920ml or 1.9 litres)

  • The membrane has a lifetime depending on different influence factors such as pressure, throughput and the quality of water. Membrane specifications say it can last up to 1 year or 18,000 litre

  • Integrated water storage/container and cup

How it works:

Quench Sea is a device that combines a hydraulic system, triple pre-filtration and a small reverse osmosis membrane to desalinate seawater into freshwater using manual human power. At sea or on the coast, it converts seawater into clean fresh drinking water instantly.

Quench Sea has an inbuilt ultrafiltration and microfiltration system to remove suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, parasites and microplastics. The first sediment filtration removes the most damaging sediments and particles. Seawater is then forced under pressure through a 0.01 micron membrane removing all contaminants before the final reverse osmosis process.
