DEFENSE & TACTICAL OPERATIONS

Water Safety for Defense, Military, and Field Operations

Military forces, special operations units, and tactical response teams often operate in remote, high-risk, or infrastructure-compromised environments where access to clean, safe water is limited or unavailable. Exposure to contaminated water can quickly affect mission readiness, disrupt operational continuity, and pose risks to personnel wellbeing.

Our Anti-Legionella filters, available in both Point-of-Use and Point-of-Entry formats, are engineered for rugged deployment, rapid setup, and high-efficiency filtration under field conditions. They provide microbiologically safe water in mobile bases, field command centers, and forward-operating environments, helping minimize biological risks while supporting operational effectiveness.

​​With a 0.08 µm ultrafiltration pore size, our filters are:

  • Certified to NSF P376, ASSE 2011-2022, and ASTM F838-2015ae, achieving Log 8 (99.999999%) Legionella and fungi reduction.

  • CE marked, meeting EU Drinking Water Directive (2020/2184) and EN-16421 standards

Our filtration systems are ideally suited and specifically configured to meet the demands of military field hospitals, mobile bases, special operations deployments, command posts, forward-operating bases (FOBs), tactical training facilities, humanitarian military missions, and mobile decontamination units.

Water Safety Tools for Defense and Tactical Field Operations

DEFENSE & TACTICAL OPERATIONS  1. Miltary field showers (2).png

PurGuard360 - Antibacterial Handheld Shower System (POU)

Showers are critical points in defense field operations, where mobile sanitation units are deployed under conditions that may involve compromised water sources. These units can aerosolize waterborne bacteria such as Legionella and NTM, posing risks to personnel in physically demanding and high-stress environments.

The PurGuard360 Handheld Shower System provides reliable point-of-use protection for deployed troops, field medics, and base camp facilities, helping to maintain hygiene in austere or contaminated conditions.

Handheld showers are frequently used in close proximity to the face and respiratory zone, especially after training, decontamination, or medical care. They are essential for maintaining hygiene and helping reduce exposure risks among military personnel in the field.

The PurGuard360 Handheld Shower System delivers superior, best-in-class protection against waterborne pathogens.

  • 0.08 µm ultrafiltration delivers certified Log 8 bacterial reduction, supporting water hygiene in high-risk environments.

  • PurGuard360 provides a 99.999999% reduction of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens at the point of use.

  • PurGuard360 provides a 99.99% reduction of fungi (mold) at the point of use.

  • Certified to ASTM F838-2015ae (Log 8 Legionella reduction)

  • Certified to NSF P376 and ASSE 2011-2022 (Legionella and Fungi reduction)

  • Using ABS with Biomaster prevents bacteria and viruses from growing or surviving on the product.

  • Purpose-built for forward operating bases, field hospitals, mobile units, and other tactical deployment environments.

SkyStream - Antibacterial Mounted Shower System (POU)

Mounted showerheads are recognized as high-risk points in military field operations due to their potential to aerosolize Legionella, NTM, and other waterborne bacteria, especially when water is sourced from unverified or mobile supply systems.

Fixed-position or semi-permanent showers are commonly used in forward operating bases, mobile decontamination units, and tactical camps, placing water in close proximity to the respiratory zone of deployed personnel.

These systems often rely on unverified or mobile water sources during operations, further increasing the risk of exposure to waterborne bacteria.

The SkyStream Mounted Showerhead System provides consistent, high-efficiency bacterial reduction at the outlet, supporting operational hygiene standards and helping reduce exposure risks in remote or high-intensity environments.

Without proper microbial mitigation, these systems pose an elevated exposure risk and require proactive monitoring to ensure operational safety and troop readiness.

The SkyStream Mounted Showerhead System delivers reliable point of use protection where hygiene and force health protection are critical in tactical and field environments.

  • 0.08 µm ultrafiltration delivers certified Log 8 bacterial reduction, supporting water hygiene in high-risk environments.

  • SkyStream reduces Legionella and other waterborne pathogens with 99.999999% efficiency.

  • Certified to ASTM F838-2015ae (Log 8 Legionella reduction)

  • Designed for forward operating bases, field hospitals, mobile decontamination units, and other high-risk military environments.

2. Military field hospital (from outside) Taptech (2).png

TapTech Pro - Antibacterial Point-of-Use Faucet Filtration (POU)

Faucets are critical exposure points in military water systems, especially in field hospitals, mobile treatment units, and tactical hygiene stations. These outlets are vulnerable to contamination from stagnant water, biofilm buildup, and splash-back, all of which can contribute to the spread of Legionella, E. coli, Salmonella, and other waterborne bacteria.

In deployment environments where personnel may be immunocompromised, injured, or exposed to unsanitary conditions, proactive filtration at the point of use is essential to maintaining operational readiness and ensuring medical safety.

The TapTech Pro filtration system provides reliable, high-efficiency bacterial reduction directly at the faucet. It helps reduce microbial exposure and supports safe water use for hand hygiene, wound care, and field medical procedures under demanding conditions.

The TapTech Pro faucet filtration delivers superior, best-in-class protection against waterborne pathogens.

  • 0.08 µm ultrafiltration reduces Legionella, E. coli, Salmonella, and other waterborne microbial contaminants at the faucet with 99.999999% reduction efficiency (Log 8) at the point of use.

  • Provides a 99.99% reduction efficiency of fungi (mold) at the point of use.

  • Ideal for supporting safety, rapid response, and water quality management during contamination events.

  • Certified to ASTM F838-2015ae with Log 8 Legionella reduction

  • Certified to NSF P376 and ASSE 2011-2022 (Legionella and Fungi reduction)

  • CE marked; compliant with EU Drinking Water Directive 2020/2184 and EN-16421

  • Using ABS with Biomaster prevents bacteria and viruses from growing or surviving on the product.

Antibacterial Filtration Solutions for Food Service in Mobile Military Operations

In portable military bases and tactical field operations, specific zones such as food preparation areas, mobile medical stations, and hygiene facilities face increased risks of exposure to waterborne bacteria due to high water usage and uncertain water sources. These areas often rely on temporary infrastructure and field-supplied water, which may be subject to microbial contamination.

Localized water safety strategies are essential to help mitigate risks from Legionella, NTM, E. coli, Salmonella, and other harmful bacteria.

 

To support troop health and maintain operational integrity, implementing Point of Entry (POE) filtration at water access points is critical.

When combined with Point of Use (POU) filtration, this approach provides a dual-layer defense that significantly enhances water safety and reduces pathogen exposure across mobile and tactical environments.

Our inline Pureflow, AquaGuard Pro, and TotalPure filtration systems deliver superior, best-in-class protection for beverage machines and kitchen environment:

  • Certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53, our filters support the prevention of waterborne pathogens, including Legionella and NTM, and offer broad-spectrum bacterial risk reduction against a wide range of waterborne threats.

  • Compliant with NSF P376 and ASSE 2011-2022 (Legionella and fungi reduction).

  • The Inline Pureflow, AquaGuard Pro, and TotalPure reduce Legionella, NTM, E. coli, Salmonella, and other waterborne pathogens with 99.999999% efficiency.
