First Need Portable water purifiers
-
What can I do when I travel? I know many resorts use rooftop catch basins and that many countries have very serious water-borne disease problems.
We offer a whole range of portable drinking water equipment under the First Need product line. This includes the First Need Deluxe, First Need Trav-L-Pure, and First Need Base Camp configurations. The First Need Water Purifiers are used by the US Army and UN Peace Keeping Forces. The Trav-L-Pure is so user friendly that it's a pleasure to use - no hoses or dangling lines and pre-filters. It is completely self-contained, neat and convenient to use even in restaurants.
