HYDROSECURE

 
 
 
HydroSecure® was initially developed to protect senior government executives and mission critical facilities, such as embassies, operations centers, and executive residences. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense, the State Department, and the United States Secret Service collaborated to seek the best available system for water security. HydroSecure was selected through a competitive solicitation and thoroughly tested in government laboratories.
 

HydroSecure® demonstrated superior performance and effectiveness in a series of tests purifying water that was highly contaminated with a variety of biological and chemical agents designed to simulate the “maximum credible threat scenario”. The tested contaminants included biological and chemical warfare agents, industrial and agricultural chemicals, biological toxins, and hallucinogenic drugs. HydroSecure was also tested for reliability of performance and long-term sustainability in harsh operating conditions.

 
The government has allowed us to make this system available to the commercial market and it is now available for the first time in a new, compact design. This new patent-pending, design, the HydroSecure II® series, is your opportunity to have the same approach to post-9/11 drinking water security that the U.S. government selected to safeguard high profile individuals & installations throughout the U.S.
