The bottle can be filled from any lake, stream, river or well and drank directly. A system that does not require electricity.

The Fair Cap project aims, "to create a tool for our survival during disasters: purifying contaminated water such as during natural disaster situations (earthquakes, floods, etc.), during refugee migrations (to provide a portable water purifying solution for improved living conditions during long distance traveling and at refugee camps), and for people living in urban and rural areas in developing countries under unhealthy non-hygienic conditions." [2016, HIF]
Clean water technologies should be shared and open sourced, to innovate on design and make them accessible for the people who need them most."
