The Science
Mechanical Filtration through hollow-fiber membrane technology High number of tiny "U" shaped micro-tubes allows the filter to have high flow rates.
Each filter is certified for ABSOLUTE microns; that means there is no pore size larger than 0.1 or 0.02 micron in size: this makes it impossible for harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, giradia, vibrio cholerae and salmonella typhi (which cause Cholera and Typhoid) to pass through the PointONE™ biological filter. At 7 log (99.99999%) the filter attains the highest level of filtration available today.
* Filter(yellow) = POINTONE, Purifier (Red) = Sawyer Point ZeroTwo
You will find these removal rates to equal or exceed competitive options. EPA guidelines allow ten times more protozoa left in the water than we allow
WWW.BSSHOLLAND.COM
Why choose these water filters
Only the absolute .10 micron pore-size makes it impossible for harmful bacteria to pass. Other manufacturers only guarantee nominal micro-pore size thereby leaving the possibility for bacteria to pass. With an unbeatable throughput of 2 liters/minute, you never have to wait for water. A high throughput lowers the need for water storage and thereby the risks of water contamination. Effortless clean water by gravitation feed! Compact & Lightweight, the filter itself weighs only 85 grams and fits into a deep pocket. Lowest cost per liter of clean water. Products & add-ons are configured according to your needs. We offer the only portable purification device (0.02 micron) to physically remove viruses. They lasts a lifetime! Guaranteed 3,800,000 liters of clean filtered water. Typical filter lifetimes of other manufacturers are less than 2000 liter and have high filter replacement costs.
If viruses are an issue, we offer the 0.02 micron purifier (0.02 micron absolute pores), the first and thus far only portable purification device to physically remove viruses, which it does at a >5.5 log (99.9997%) rate, exceeding EPA and NSF recommendations.
Six reasons for Armed Forces to issue the squeeze water filter as part of a soldiers standard operational equipment. 1. Currently if a soldier drinks contaminated water, he will rapidly become out of action as a soldier, and also become a burden to his unit. There is the potential cost to the mission, and the inevitable cost of Medevac’ing him for medical treatment. 2. Soldiers are issued with chemical tablets for treating their water. This makes the water safe to drink, but gives it a nasty taste, and leaves dirt and/or debris in the water. This makes soldiers reluctant to drink until it is absolutely necessary, therefore causing them to become dehydrated and not operating to the best of their ability. 1. There is a huge logistical cost in both manpower and cash involved in providing drinking water to frontline troops. 2. There are many theatres worldwide where water is plentiful on the ground, but is unsafe to drink. 3. Current filtration systems in use are large, heavy, expensive, and require maintenance and regular filter replacements. 4. The system offers a lightweight, versatile, nil maintenance and cost effective solution.

2. Military and disaster relief water filtration and purification units
2000DM The 2000DM is the most compact, versatile, full featured, computer controlled, energy efficient, mobile reverse osmosis system available today. All internal mechanical systems are mounted on a strong lightweight aluminum frame enclosed in a ruggedized military style case. The 2000DM utilizes water sources ranging from fresh surface or well water to heavy sea (salt) water. This versatility comes from a unique pumping and injection system, with a variable recovery rate, producing the maximum product flow from the feed water.
Capacity Fresh water: 7500 liters per day Salt water: 5500 liters per day The energy required to operate the 2000DM is less than 1500 watts and is fully operational on 90/250VAC 50-60 Hz; or from a 24 to 28 VDC power source, the same used on military vehicles. Cables for both AC and NATO DC plug are provided with each system. The complete system operates on any of the small 2 KW or larger JP8 fueled military generators, or a small commercial generator. The 2000DM automatically adjusts power demand to maximize efficiency. Energy efficiency is aided by the exclusive use of the patented second generation Energy Recovery Device “ER Pump”, allowing the system to produce drinking water at a substantial reduction of the energy used by a conventional RO purification system. The ER Pump allows working pressure up to 1200 psi for operation in heavy salt water conditions. Power and microprocessor controlled circuitry are housed in a compact, easily removed, Electronic Control Drawer “ECD” that features push button controls and a large LCD function display. The ECD monitors operations with audible and visual alarms and automatic shut down if necessary. The 2000DM provides manual override controls for easy service; or operates in a basic mode if the computer controller fails. An Electronic Pre-treatment Module “EPM” induces a small charge on impurities present in the feed water. This aids in keeping the impurities from attaching to the membrane surface, greatly reducing biological growth and mineral scale. Additionally, the automatic flush
WWW.BSSHOLLAND.COM
system adds substantially to the service life of the system by reducing corrosion and biological fouling. The custom 1200 psi membrane pressure vessels are easily removed for membrane replacement and the high pressure hoses are oversized for better efficiency. Interconnecting plumbing is made of easily removable sub-assemblies with cam-lock connectors. All the valves and half of the sensors are part of these assemblies. Removal of the Filter Housings and the plumbing assemblies provide easy access to the pumps. All of the pumps and motors are replaceable without removing the frame from the case. An activated carbon Post Filter conditions the product water removing any unwanted after taste. A “UV” ultraviolet exposure unit kills or inactivates any possible microbes and viruses. Both self contained devices are mounted on custom shock absorbing fixtures protecting them from damage under harsh handling. EXTENDED USE ACCESSORY PACKAGES are available to include expendables and spare parts. 1000DM The ASPEN 1000DM Reverse Osmosis water purification system will supply up to 3700 liters per day (just under 3.8 liter per minute) of highly purified water from virtually any water source including seawater! It can be powered by any form of single phase AC or, because of the highly efficient Aspen energy recovery pumping system, can operate from 24 volt DC power direct from a military vehicle’s battery or even a small solar array. The ASPEN 1000DM is a lightweight highly mobile completely self contained water purification system with war fighter ready technology making it the easiest to deploy, maintain, and monitor of any Military Reverse Osmosis purification system in existence. The Aspen 1000DM is not only energy efficient, but includes a redundant purification system (Reverse Osmosis and Ultra Violet Sterilization) providing the safest drinking water possible in all conditions. THE ASPEN 1000DM is 5 times more energy efficient than a conventional AC system and provides wire to water at 4 watts per liter. Utilizing the Aspen energy recovery system, the 1000DM operates on less than half of the energy requirement for a hair dryer, or less than 650 watts. Total usage is 0.4 KW per 1000 liters, rivaling large commercial units on efficiency and never before available in such a small system. The unit operates from single phase in 90 to 240 volts AC in either 50/60 hertz or from a 24/28 volt DC source (US/NATO vehicles) and will automatically recognize the varying power sources. THE ASPEN 1000DM IS OPERATED BY the most sophisticated automatic controller and electronic monitoring module available today, providing trouble free service no matter how demanding the environment. While other systems use gauges and require constant monitoring with repeated reference to an operating manual, a quick scroll through

the Aspen digital display will provide the operator with the exact status of the system at all times. THE ASPEN 1000DM IS SIMPLE TO OPERATE. The combination of the high tech controller and Aspens unique energy recovery system eliminates the need for highpressure adjustment in the field when using water at different levels of salinity. The Aspen 1000DM constantly monitors product salinity and filter condition when in use and will audio and visually indicate if service is needed. Automatic monitoring and safety shut down protocols allow for unsupervised operation. THE 1000DM IS WHISPER QUIET, as much as 5 times quieter than conventional systems. The Aspen energy recovery system eliminates the need for noisy inefficient high pressure pumps. THE ASPEN 1000DM IS RUGGIDIZED. The electronic controls are housed in a completely sealed, thermally controlled, and shock mounted enclosure made from the highest grade stainless steel and high tech noncorrosive lightweight aircraft alloys. These materials are used throughout the system. Strict design requirements and assembly procedures allow it to withstand the rigors of military use and harsh environmental exposure. The membranes are wound to meet higher than industry standards and will provide extended use with less degradation and failure. DIMENSIONS: The lightweight self-contained unit is 81cm L X 69cm H X 68cm W with a dry weight of less than 100 kilo. The Aspen 1000DM comes with a Support Case containing hoses, consumables, and spares, which easily fits into a small vehicle.

NRO Fusion System The NRO Fusion system is combining standard (passive and active) filter techniques with high pressure nano membrane filters which are easy to replace and are patented. The nano fibers have a relatively large surface area which allows for a higher absorption rate of various constituents for improving water quality, a higher acid/basic and temperature resistance, environmental friendliness, and longer membrane life span and flexibility which enables the membrane to be formed into various membrane modules for larger commercial application. Due to the high effectiveness of the membrane filter essential minerals and nutritions are retained in the water. This makes the system cost-efficient as it is no longer necessary to repeat the filtering process until water is ready for consumption. Moreover, the system can be provided with PV solar power energy panels, making it a complete sustainable solution for domestic, (light) commercial and agricultural use. To conclude, the NRO fusion system is a unique system as it combines standard filter techniques with high pressure patented nano membrane filters, resulting in efficient water treatment. The investment level of the NRO fusion system is relatively low, making the system affordable for many users.
