A BRIEF HISTORY OF WATER FILTRATION -
Water filtration systems have been around for a long time…
As far back as 500 BC it’s believed that the famous Greek scientist, Hippocrates invented the first early water filter… in the form of a cloth bag! This simple device was known as the ‘Hippocratic sleeve’.
The cloth acted like a sieve to filter out the impurities from the Greek aqueducts.
The water was boiled and poured through the cloth, which trapped the sediments that were causing the bad taste and smell…
…creating cleaner, better tasting drinking water.
