Hello and thank you for those suggestions. The  current units that we are The Hurricane. It was being produced by GlobalPureWater which has ceased business. Global Pure Water website does provide some possible resources for replacement filters but other support is no longer provided. Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) has five or more of these units which are self-contained, portable, battery powered with the ability to produce 135 gallons of filtered water per hour. The water filtration units are being housed throughout across our CERT area close to a large river that is one of our area borders. Our goal is to be able to provide water to our local community after a catastrophic event incapacitates our Water Service District’s operations and interrupts water service. While the CERT is leading this effort, we are developing a partnership with our Water District. One water filtration unit that we are looking at is the FirstWater FW-300-M. This unit weighs 105 lbs, is contained in a case with wheels, has a 5 gallon/minute purification rate, is powered by a 120volt source, and is effective against viruses, bacteria, and cysts. It can filter down to 0.019 microns. Other considerations include: RainFresh AquaResponse System This unit clears water of Bacteria, viruses, and cysts and removes sediment down to 1 micron and can filter 3 to 24 gallons of water per minute (depending on the model). It utilizes a 12 to 120 volt power source (depending on the model) and remains portable. Aquamira DIVVY . This is still a portable, though a larger unit, and is human powered by a hand pump. I hope that this is helpful to any others looking into providing water to a smaller community. If anyone finds an interesting product, I would really like to hear about it. Thank you, Bob
