I developed the SeaPack last year when sailing from the Bahamas to Norfolk, VA. Here we were on a $500,000 catamaran and the captain did not have a hand held RO pump. I asked him why and he said that they were too expensive. I came home and researched other people that cross oceans. 98% of them did not have portable RO systems because they are too expensive.

The SeaPack was developed off of the same concept as the other systems except that it can handle salt water. The other systems can't due to the filter and the level of sugar that is used.

Since there is no pressure to push the water through the filter, these systems can not clog due to turbid (muddy) water.

These have already saved lives over in the Middle East. A military squad was left in the desert longer than planned. They had the X-Packs along and converted their urine into the survival drink. Saved the lot of them.
