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."
