No one wants to find themselves in a scenario in which they can find water, but can’t drink it due to its dubious origin. This type of situation happens to many people around the world, every day, and it doesn’t even have to be the result of a natural disaster.
Boiling is one of the most reliable ways to make naturally sourced water safe to drink, but what if you don’t have access to resources to make a fire or even hold the water? A water filtration or purification device is your next best solution. There are many different designs on the market today, but the FIXT Nomad intends to broaden the scope of their use.
Whereas most filtration devices are meant to be used independently or in conjunction with hydration packs, the FIXT Nomad offers the capability to filter water from your water heater as well. This feature is particularly important to those who live in natural disaster-prone areas, as it makes a significant source of water in your home safe to drink.
The FIXT Nomad filters up to 100 gallons of water (the capacity of a standard home water heater) from virtually any source: lake, river, urban canal, rain puddle, even a toilet — and they’ve got the video to prove it!
Using an activated coconut carbon and iodinated resin filter, the FIXT Nomad removes 99.999 percent of odors, tastes, bacteria, protozoa, chemicals, prescription drugs, heavy metals, and even radiological contaminants from any water source. It does not remove beneficial trace minerals, and actually alkalinizes your water for more balanced body chemistry.
You’ll be able to use the FIXT Nomad in a variety of ways with the included 9-piece connector and fittings set. These various parts enable you to drink directly from your water source like a straw, attach it to your hydration pack’s drinking tube, siphon water from its source to another container, or attach it to a home water heater.
Smaller in dimensions than a pack of playing cards, the FIXT Nomad is lighter as well, weighing just 2.4 ounces and measuring 4.5 x 2.5 inches. This compact size makes it ideal for throwing into a vehicle glove box, camping gear, bug out bag, purse, backpack, or even just a pocket.
FIXT’s goal is to supply one million gallons of water to those who need it around the world, and gets closer to their goal with every stretch goal achieved. You can back the FIXT Nomad on Indiegogo for as little as $56 ($42 off the retail price) plus shipping, with the first orders hitting US backers before Christmas.
Why take the risk of ever being without safe drinking water when you can have 100 gallons of it in the palm of your hand for less than $100? Back the FIXT Nomad on Indiegogo for yourself, a friend, or a family member and give the gift of survival this holiday season!
