It works the same way you'd drink through a straw - because that's exactly what it is. No pumps, no power, no setup.
Step 1 - Find a freshwater source
A stream, spring, or collected rainwater. The ClearX Pro™ is designed for use with freshwater sources including streams, springs, tap water, and rainwater. It is not designed for saltwater, chemically contaminated water, or water affected by industrial runoff.
Step 2 - Sip through the filter
As you drink, water passes through all 4 filtration stages in sequence — from the outer PP cotton pre-filter through to the inner hollow-fibre UF membrane. No waiting or setup required.
Step 3 - The 4 stages work together
Stage 1 - Medical-grade PP cotton pre-filters sediment, sand, silt, and larger particles.
Stage 2 - Coconut shell activated carbon reduces odours and improves taste.
Stage 3 - Antibacterial media provides an additional filtration layer.
Stage 4 - The 1 micron hollow-fibre UF membrane mechanically blocks bacteria, parasites, and particles larger than 1 micron.
Step 4 - Filtered water comes out
What reaches your mouth has passed through all 4 stages. Particles, sediment, bacteria, and parasites larger than 1 micron are trapped in the filter and cannot pass through.
