This is a highly engineered purifier that ideally should be installed under your sink in a dedicated cold water drinking water line for your drinking and cooking water.\u003cbr\u003eThe highest level of protection, ideal for the caravanner, off roader and those with compromised immune systems and young families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only inline purifier on the Australian market that has been tested to AU\/NZ Standards to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses upon contact.\u003cbr\u003e7,500 Litres - please note, Purifier life is determined by a. Volume and b. Water Quality.\u003cbr\u003eFor use when you will be sourcing and using water that has already been pre-treated by a municipal council.\u003cbr\u003eFor use on a dedicated cold water line, installed under your sink to purify drinking water\u003cbr\u003eEasy DIY installation - no plumber required\u003cbr\u003eCan be mounted horizontal or vertical - just make sure water flow is as per the flow direction arrow on purifier\u003cbr\u003ePurifier works at it's optimal when installed into a dedicated drinking water line, after your pump and after the hot water take off junction. Why? You ask! Because when the purifier is used as a dedicated drinking water purifier, you get longevity out of you Thirsty Nomad \"5 in 1\" and you know that all the water you cook with and drink is microbiologically safe.\u003cbr\u003eAlways install purifier AFTER the pump. Our purifier is a very fine micron rating at just 0.001 micron - as such, our purifier works at it's optimal with the aid of the pressure of a pump pushing the water through the purifier.\u003cbr\u003eCaravan pumps are usually 55psi and we would encourage our customers to always go for a 55psi pump. Many van manufacturers have been cutting costs by installing \u0026lt;40psi pumps as standard. Quite often, 40psi is just not enough pressure to push water through our purifier and through your van's piping network and out to your faucets at a satisfactory water flow rate. However, please see our next note on our purifier installed after a standard 55psi Shuflo, FloJet or Seaflo pump.\u003cbr\u003eWhen installed in a van, after a 55psi caravan pump, the water flow rate from the purifier will provide you with a 4 litre per minute flow rate at your shower, bathroom vanity and kitchen sink - a good flow rate for purifier performance and water saving (Note, 4L\/minute flow is a 6 Star WELS Rating (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) which saves 105kL per year.\u003cbr\u003eMany people assume that the Thirsty Nomad is a \"fix all\" purifier that will treat every 'variable' drop of water that you might encounter in your travels. Water filtration and purification is not that simple - we wish it was.\u003cbr\u003eWater is highly variable and a highly complex science and when camping around Australia you will more than likely be offered Bore Water.\u003cbr\u003eBore Water is an excellent source of water. However bore water contains dissolved minerals of calcium, magnesium and iron which a). can make the water taste a bit \"off\" and b) will quickly clog the Thirsty Nomad purifier and any other brand of standard granular activated carbon filter - this is not a factor of brand, we are not criticising brand - it is a factor of fact and science.\u003cbr\u003eBore Water contains dissolved minerals of calcium, magnesium and iron - these minerals will oxidise and then 'mineralise' inside of granular activated carbon filters rendering them clogged and useless - and will do the same inside of the Thirsty Nomad's carbon fibre block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAustralian Owned \u0026amp; Operated\u003cbr\u003eInstallation Instructions included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 x The Thirsty Nomad 5 in 1 Caravan Water Filter \u0026amp; Purifier\u003cbr\u003e2 x Mounting Clips\u003cbr\u003e2 x 12mm Straight Push Fittings\u003cbr\u003e2 x 6mm Push Fittings (one elbow and one straight)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot what you are looking for?
