LOS ANGELES — Water is the most essential ingredient to life, and the key to ensuring survival after a disaster. Hydropack’s innovative way of filtering water can ensure that, even in places where plumbing is damaged or nonexistent, no one will lack hydration. HydroPacks are more compact and transportable than bottled water and can filter any water source. The pouch is simply immersed in any kind of water, and HydroPack will filter and disinfect the water using osmosis. The pouch also contains electrolytes and nutrients, so the result is hydration and nutrition. In our frst clip, Heather-Leigh Logan interviews Gaylon White of Eastman Chemical and Keith Lampi of Hydration Technology Innovations to talk about this potentially life saving innovation.
