[pct-l] Bottle makes dirty water drinkable.htm

[Tortoise]

Well Reinhold,

the article did not say what the flow rate was. However if the 
(British?) military was buying them for the troops the bottles must 
filter fairly quickly.
also I couldn't find a weight listed, so all you gram counters (like me) 
will have to wait for the weight.

after all, you military types are not known for your patience.
