The Tap Doesn't Always Stop All at Once
"A blackout doesn't always shut your water off right away."
That's true, but that's not actually the risk.
If you're on well water, your pump runs on electricity. No power means no water, even though the pipes are fine.
If you're on city water, floodwater and storm damage can get into water mains before it ever reaches your tap, even if the power never goes out. That's why boil-water advisories follow floods and water main breaks just as often as blackouts.
Asheville, North Carolina, was under a boil-water advisory for 53 days after Hurricane Helene. Jackson, Mississippi, went weeks without safe water after their treatment plant was overwhelmed. Calgary lost its water main the week before New Year's.
And sometimes there's no tap at all.
Evacuations, flooded roads, and downed power lines can put you in your car, a shelter, or outdoors for hours and even days with no faucet in reach, just whatever water's actually around you.
The tap can run, or not run at all, and either way, you might be looking at a puddle, a ditch, or a stream instead of a faucet.
That's the part most people don't plan for until it happens to them.
Built for the Week the Grid's Down, Not a Weekend Hike
Most filter straws are made for hikers. They're built for a few hours on a clean mountain trail, not a week of pulling water from whatever's around your house.
PureFlow filters down to 0.01 microns, about 10 times finer than the straws you'd find at an outdoor store. It removes 99.99% of the bacteria and protozoa that send people to the hospital. Things like:
E. coli: cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea that can turn into dangerous dehydration fast. In severe cases, it can cause kidney failure that's fatal for kids and older adults.
Salmonella: fever, diarrhea, and stomach pain that can knock you out for a week. It can turn fatal for infants, older adults, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
Cholera: watery diarrhea so severe it can cause fatal dehydration within hours if it's not treated.
Giardia: diarrhea, gas, and cramping that can drag on for weeks.
Cryptosporidium: watery diarrhea and dehydration that can turn life-threatening for kids and anyone with a weakened immune system.
PureFlow's membrane blocks all five before they ever reach your mouth.
