Sulis Personal Water Purifier

We’ve seen portable personal water purification systems before. LifeStraw™ is the one that first comes to mind. A new Israeli company called Watersheer Ltd. has developed a series of products, ranging from a personal purifier in a form of a bottle cap Sulis, to up to a 100 litter water processing Sokol system.
Israel21C explains:

The Sulis Personal Purification System (PPS) takes all the ingredients needed to transform dirty water into clean water – whether it be for stranded hikers, soldiers in the field, or victims of disasters – and has miniaturized the technology to fit into the top of a cork that can be plugged into virtually any size bottle, container or tap.
“Above everything else, the product we’ve developed is going to save lives,” explained Yossi Sandak, the CEO of Watersheer, the Israeli company which has developed the Sulis PPS. “Over 1.6 million children under the age of five die each year in the undeveloped world from drinking untreated water. What we have is a solution to reduce death in the world that is not a medical solution, but simply providing people with clean drinking water.”
The Sulis unit is lightweight and small (10 grams, 2.7 Inches / 7 cm) and is designed to fit onto most universal bottles. According to Sandak’s partner, Ron Shani, the founder, chairman and vice president of Watersheer’s R&D division, the Sulis system treats water from upper sources containing organic, biological and chemical contaminates.
“The problem is that there aren’t enough products in the humanitarian field that are inexpensive enough and efficient enough to solve the problems of contaminated water – from a biological and chemical standpoint,” Shani told ISRAEL21c…
Delving into the fields of water technology and survival, Shani recounted how he conducted extensive research for three months around the concept of survival and what was available to people in need of fresh water. Focusing in on the need for something like the Sulis system, Shani spent the next year and a half developing the prototype.
“The idea was to create a very simple device,” he said. “There are many players in the survival market, but they have solutions which are complicated and expensive. They’ll do the job but you need a lot of sequences.
“With Sulis, it’s simple, quick, and you don’t need any additional energy source. And anybody can do it. In a minute, you go from undrinkable water to pure drinking water. And for someone in a life threatening situation, that time is crucial”
Sandak, a former lieutenant-colonel in the Israeli Air Force, added that another improvement on existing purification systems is the taste of the water produced.
“In a survival situation, you need to be drinking a lot of water – the problem is that with other systems, the process creates water that tastes awful, so you end up drinking the minimum. With Sulis, you can drink freely and the taste, if I must say so, is excellent,” he told ISRAEL21c…
Sandak added that the company is looking for investors in order to open a production plant in Sderot once orders start pouring in. While they don’t affix an actual price to the system, Shani and Sandak say that the Sulis will cost no more “than a large coffee and cake at Starbucks.” Considering one Sulis cork can purify 1,000 liters of water before being replaced, that’s quite a bargain.

What we want to know is how the company’s technology works, and if it uses spores, what is the smallest spore size.
