MSR Guardian Water Purifier: Backcountry, Travel, Emergency.

The MSR Guardian Water Purifier Pump was initially developed for the U.S. Military, which sought out MSR's cutting-edge water filtration technology to safeguard the health and safety of troops deployed in some of the most remote areas across the globe. Over six years, extensive research and development led to the creation of this advanced pump purifier. It effectively eliminates viruses (including norovirus, rotavirus, and hepatitis A), bacteria (such as E. coli, Shigella, salmonella, and cholera), protozoa (like giardia, cryptosporidium, and amoebae), and sediment from contaminated water sources anywhere on the planet.

This water purifier meets the stringent NSF protocol P248 testing standards set for military use, utilizing medical-grade fibers to ensure protection against even the smallest waterborne pathogens. Engineered for efficiency, simplicity, and safety, the pump operates at an impressive flow rate of 2.5 liters per minute. The advanced filter within the system can treat up to 10,000 liters of water and can handle harsh conditions, including freezing temperatures and rugged usage.

One of the standout features of the MSR Guardian Water Purifier Pump is its self-cleaning mechanism, which operates with each stroke of the pump. This innovative design flushes contaminants back into the water source, eliminating the need for backflushing or scrubbing cartridges, thus ensuring a hassle-free maintenance experience while delivering consistently high flow rates.

This purifier is particularly well-suited for a variety of settings, including wilderness trips, backcountry adventures, global travels, and emergency preparedness situations. Compact in size, it measures 8.2 x 4.7 inches and weighs in at just 17.3 ounces, making it easy to carry without adding significant weight to your gear. Proudly made in the USA, this military-grade purification system excels in removing viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and particulate matter from contaminated water sources virtually anywhere in the world.

In summary, the MSR Guardian Water Purifier is a powerful and reliable tool for anyone looking to ensure access to clean drinking water in challenging environments. With its impressive filtration capabilities, rapid pumping performance, and robust design, it stands out as an essential companion for adventurers, travelers, and those preparing for emergencies alike.
