WHY FILTER RAINWATER?

• THE WATER IN A RAINDROP IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST SOURCES OF WATER AVAILABLE, BUT CAN ABSORB GASES, SOOT, AND OTHER PARTICLES AS IT FALLS THROUGH THE SKY.

• WHEN IT REACHES A ROOF, IT CAN BE • EXPOSED TO HERBICIDE OR PESTICIDE SPRAYS AND ANIMAL DROPPINGS.• A FILTER IS NEEDED TO REMOVE THOSE IMPURITIES.

COMPETITION AND COMPARISONCOMPETITION:• COMPETITION IS VERY MINIMAL• FILTERS ON THE MARKET INCLUDE DEBRIS REMOVAL

COMPARISON:• OUR FILTER REMOVES IMPURITIES COLLECTED IN RAINWATER THROUGH THE

USE OF CHARCOAL• PLANTS FED PURIFIED RAINWATER GROW HEALTHIER AND FASTER
