THE BROWN FILTER BAG

The Brown Bag is a canvas water filter that is easy to use and carry. It can be used on its own as a highly effective sediment water filter.
The Brown Bag is also effective when used in conjunction with a combined filter/purification system as a pre-filter to prevent clogging and extending the filtering life of the system.

WHAT IS THE BROWN BAG DESIGNED TO DO?

Making water safe is a two stage process. 1st Filtration 2nd purification.
The Brown Bag can be used for the first stage of making water safe, filtration. It is designed to filter turbid or dirty water. Turbid water is water with suspended sediment in it such as sand, mud, silt or organic matter.
It is essential to remove the sediment as it provides hiding places for water borne pathogens e.g. viruses, bacteria and parasites. If the sediment is not removed this is known to reduce the effectiveness of chemical purification treatments on these pathogens. In addition, if the sediment is not removed it can upset your digestive system.

HOW TO BREAK IN YOUR NEW BROWN BAG.

1. Saturate the bags in water, squeeze the water through the bags to unsure they are fully wetted.
2. Then be rough with them! Scrunch them up, massage and squeeze the bags. This will help to soften the canvas and open up the fibers.
3. Repeat the process 3/4 times allowing the bag to dry in-between.
4. You can also put the bags in the washing machine. Place in a clean washing machine on a cold rinse cycle with NO detergent and NO fabric softener. Always remove the paracord before placing in washing machine.
