Personal filtration systems are crucial to ensuring adequate supplies of drinkable water regardless of location, publishes gofreshwater.com.

Sunshine Coast, Queensland -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/01/2015 -- As the popularity of outdoor exploration continues to swell, the number of hikers becoming lost during their treks is also on the rise. In many cases, jaunts intended to last no more than a couple hours end up stretching on for significantly longer periods. Though the majority of hikers bring bottled water along with them, caches considered appropriate for their planned expeditions may be insufficient should the situation take a turn for the worse. In light of the growing likelihood of such a scenario, John Smeaton of GoFreshWater has launched the company's latest portable water purifier.

Confirmed Smeaton, "When you're camping or hiking, a personal water purification filter can be a life saver in the most literal sense of the term. Typically, the human body can only survive three days without water. Though streams and other freshwater sources may look pristine, hundreds of unseen pathogens and harmful organisms may be lurking in them. Our Go-Bottle is the best portable water filter bottle available and is capable of eliminating 99.9999 percent of bacteria, 99.99 percent of viruses and chemical contaminants potentially present."

According to the GoFreshWater website, the company's portable water purification system has received both the Certificate of Water Quality Association Gold Seal and Approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Travel water bottle is capable of effectively filtering water for up to 200 days of continual use. Water being drawn through the company's activated carbon system is immediately safe for consumption and meets international safety specifications.

The Go-Bottle is designed to be light weight and fit comfortably in the hand as well as bike-mounted drink holders. Products from the company are manufactured without environmentally harmful BPA's. Smeaton noted filters and bottles are rigorously tested and are accompanied by a one-year warranty covering defective materials and craftsmanship faults. These additionally come with a guaranteed shelf life of ten years or more without use.

Concluded Smeaton, "Due to the Go-Bottle's size and minimal weight, it can easily be thrown into a backpack without holding back hikers and campers. It is used in the same manner as any sports bottle and costs less than two cents per litre of water filtered. This is much less expensive than relying on bottled water, which is also potentially unsafe in its own right. Our systems help ensure customers have a clean, safe, unlimited supply of water regardless of where they may be."

Aimed at travelers, campers, and others seeking safer, cleaner water, new system is just as convenient as common water bottles and as effective as the best filters, GoFreshWater reports

Queensland, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2015 -- The single most common cause of an unpleasant overseas holiday is a waterborne illness. With a full 50% of Australians demonstrating exposure to "superbug" bacteria upon their return home, according to the Australian National University's Prof. Peter Collignon, having reliable access to safe, clean water is the best way of ensuring that a long-awaited holiday will be fun and recuperative. Thanks to the launch and immediate worldwide availability of GoFreshWater's convenient new Go-Bottle, travelers, campers, and hikers can enjoy fresh, pure water more easily than ever.

"We often take it for granted, but access to safe drinking water is still a problem all around the world," GoFreshWater representative John Smeaton noted, "Whether that means cryptosporidium lurking in a pure-looking outback spring or troublesome urban water supplies in less-developed countries, safe drinking water can be hard to come by. Our new Go-Bottle delivers up a steady supply of pure, filtered water in an incredibly convenient form."

The World Health Organization estimates that waterborne diseases are directly responsible for at least 1.8 million human deaths annually. These diseases also exact steep tolls of other sorts, ranging from financial burdens related to lost work and medical care to an almost-unimaginable sum of collective human suffering.

Residents of the most highly developed countries can often count on safe, reliable water supplies, but this is typically much less the case when they leave the sheltered enclaves of their everyday lives. A recent report on Australia's ABC News, for example, established that around half of all Australians returning from overseas holidays showed signs of recent exposure to potentially dangerous water-based bacteria and other pathogens.

With a rapidly expanding line of water filtration equipment, all of which is designed to be easy and convenient to use, GoFreshWater is one of today's top sources of assistance with problems of this kind. The company's popular Go-Straw water filter, for example provides users with up to 100 days' worth of clean, safe water, whatever the source, while being small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and incredibly affordable, as well.

With the introduction of the brand new GoFreshWater Go-Bottle Travel Water Bottle, travelers and campers can enjoy even more in the way of convenience and accessibility. Based around the same proven technology underlying the Go-Straw and the high-capacity Go-Pump, the Go-Bottle substitutes neatly for the same portable water bottles that already accompany many people through their daily lives.

As with the rest of the company's products, the Go-Bottle reliably removes dangerous pathogens from even the most suspect of water sources, while also purifying and clarifying unappealing water to make it far more palatable. The new Go-Bottle is available for shipping worldwide, along with the rest of GoFreshWater's innovative products, from the company's secure online store.

Fifty percent of holiday makers test positive for a superbug bacteria, even without hospitalization, reports GoFreshWater

Epping, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/01/2015 -- Returning holiday makers need to take care, as 50 percent test positive for a superbug bacteria, one that is contracted while they are participating in local, everyday activities. In addition, 50 percent of patients who are hospitalized have a virus or water bacteria based illness. Statistics such as these need to concern all, and many individuals are now opting to make use of a portable water filter.

"One cannot be too careful when it comes to their drinking water. Extreme weather events may take place at any time and anywhere. When a natural disaster strikes, one must ensure their drinking water remains safe. Often, individuals cannot tell just by looking at or smelling water if it remains potable. For this reason, a water bottle filter or water filter straw becomes essential," John Smeaton, spokesperson for GoFreshWater, states.

Many situations prevent access to clean drinking water. For example, when one is camping, they must either carry water with them or take a chance that the water they have access to is safe. The same is true when one is traveling, embarking on a humanitarian mission, hiking or traveling abroad. Individuals in this situation need a water purifier that offers multiple stage purification for optimal results.

"Individuals often wonder what the difference is between various purification products. The three stage system used in GoFreshWater products removes floating objects and sediment, viruses,cysts, bacteria, odours, heavy metals and chemicals. Each stage has its own function, and the process ensures the water is safe to drink. Particles removed may be as small as 0.01 microns," Smeaton continues.

The human body requires clean water to survive, yet access to this water continues to become harder. One can never be too safe when it comes to what they put in their body. Consumers find water purification systems allow them to obtain clean, fresh drinking water regardless of where they go or what type of water they have access to.

"Individuals feel confident when purchasing products from GoFreshWater as they have undergone the most stringent international standards testing. The tests show they successfully provide clean water by removing not only viruses and bacteria, but also odours and tastes. One has a supply of fresh drinking water for a period of time, allowing government officials the time needed to get the water supply up and running and safe once again," Smeaton declares.

The company has been involved in the filtration industry for more than two decades and understands the issues surrounding clean drinking water.

Effective and affordable personal water filtration systems eliminate the growing global risk of water-borne contaminants, publishes gofreshwater.com

Epping, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2015 -- Studies reveal trace amounts of at least 100 harmful bacteria, viruses, chemicals and other substances linger in the majority of public water supplies even after being subjected to treatment. At the same time the cost of relying solely on bottled water for fulfilling recommended daily allowances adds up to almost $1,500 per person each year. In answer to these issues, John Smeaton of GoFreshWater has launched the company's latest portable water filter lineup.

Said Smeaton, "We've spent years thinking of concepts and developing products to help bring new alternatives to the world of completely safe and affordable drinking water. These water bottle filter systems are specifically designed to be portable and versatile, purifying fresh water from any source, including lakes, streams and taps. Our innovations are extensively tested and have recieved the Certificate of Water Quality Association's Gold Seal as well as approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."

Among the company's most recent releases is their water filter straw. Designed to be used as a typical drinking straw, the product is said to endure at least 100 days of constant use. The newly redesigned sports bottle style filtration system offers purification benefits for up to 200 days.

GoFreshWater's merchandise operates via a patented three stage process. A preliminary filter eliminates larger types of debris that may be present in natural fresh water sources; from that point, a micron filter removes bacteria. The final leg of the filtration process extracts heavy metals and chemical substances. Regardless of the original source of the water involved, testing reveals these products' final outcomes meet international standards of safety.

Concluded Smeaton, "Since 80 percent of illnesses across the world can be traced back to contaminated drinking water, purification has become a global necessity. Our filters remove 99.9999 percent of bacteria and 99.99 percent of viruses as well as potentially hazardous metals and chemicals. We help provide access to clean, safe water whether it be for daily use, during hiking or camping excursions or as a component of disaster relief efforts. These products are only the latest in our endeavors, and we will continue to remain on the leading edge of technology as it develops."
