Wow, what a great idea! Congrats on the promo video, I think I might need one of these myself.

Do you have any patents. Is the basic filter a self pressurized RO?

Great idea by the way. One thing about the video is there seems to be too much talking with out telling much. If your gonna talk that long give details but i would suggest keeping it more simple.

Hope you the best with this....i like the entrepreneurism.

I do, I do. Several patents.

No, it's not RO. RO is nanofiltration and filters at the molecular level. Ours is microfiltration (0.2 um pores) and will eventually be ultrafiltration (0.02 um pores). So ours doesn't remove dissolved salts and minerals, just bacteria, dirt and parasites.

Congrats. I am very impressed indeed. Great to see young entrepreneurism alive and well here in Canada.

Just make sure you have the right contracts, disclaimers, and insurance in place when you manufacture and sell it. I can just see some idiot suing, claiming he got sick drinking water from your filter.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Used such filters before during my camping days...what is the competitive advantage over existing ones say found at mec.ca.? Eghttp://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/MemberPicks/Travel/PRD~5001-239/msr-miniworks-ex-water-filter.jsp...does it work for places with like chlorea, ganges river grade water...
What is target retail.? Target market...reminds me of that fold away oven for cooking in 3rd world countries a few years ago.. I think a knurled grip will make product more intuitive and maybe add in a bellow container in the kit to prevent cross contamination of first initial pouring in the water. I think you will need at least 500k to 1m in initial funding opposed to 20k for the crowdfunding. Alo see if this local company is interested who is doing desalination saltworkstech.com on piggybacking their marketing efforts.
Good luck with the venture.
