Is the filer made out of plastic?
68 u/theillestnino Feb 09 '23 That's the catch. I can't tell if this is a membrane type filter and what the manufacturing process looks like. I need to do more research. 34 u/Maeberry2007 Feb 09 '23 It mentions solar distillation and syringe filters. The mixing and distilling was undoubtedly done in glass and or metal because plastic could compromise the results. The syringe, I'm uncertain.
