Guardian Solid Form Biocide (SFB) Rope<br />
H2O, Inc.<br />
The Guardian SFB Rope uses silver to kill pathogens on contact.<br />
SFB str<strong>and</strong>s are covered with water permeable synthetic fabric<br />
with a string attached to one end <strong>and</strong> used to pull the rope from<br />
the container. Users put the Guardian SFB Rope into a 20 litre<br />
collection container at the water source point, allowing it to be<br />
treated on the way to the household. This technology was<br />
especially designed for transporting source water. Virus <strong>and</strong><br />
bacteria removal is accelerated by the motion caused by carrying<br />
the water. The Guardian SFB Rope also prevents water from<br />
recontamination.<br />
Can be purchased from the manufacturer upon request.<br />
There are no moving or mechanical parts to break. Inlet water<br />
needs to have low turbidity, total dissolved solids <strong>and</strong> hardness.<br />
The Guardian SFB Rope has been laboratory tested by the<br />
manufacturer <strong>and</strong> tested in the field.<br />
If turbidity is higher than 30 NTU, filter the water <strong>and</strong> shake it<br />
vigorously for 1 minute before using the Guardian Rope. If water<br />
hardness is over 500 ppm, allow 50% more time for treatment.<br />
The treatment effectiveness will be significantly reduced if the<br />
Guardian SFB Rope comes into contact with chlorine products<br />
(such as bleach).<br />
The Guardian SFB Rope may corrode if placed in a metal<br />
container with saline water. The Guardian SFB Rope should be<br />
cleaned if this occurs.<br />
Up to 2 years, or after processing 12,500 litres of water<br />
1.5 metres (5 feet) in length<br />
70 grams when dry<br />
20 litres/day<br />
Cost: US$12-15 plus shipping (minimum order of 100)
