# Sea-Purifying Canteens The 'Puri' Desalinating Bottle Lets You Drink from the Ocean By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-08-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desalinating-bottle References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/08/05/drinkable-sea-water/) & [idsa.org](http://idsa.org/puri) The '[Puri](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnus-office-building)' desalinating bottle works to let you drink directly from the sea. Designers Minji Kim, Younsun Kim, Byungsoo Kim and Kangkyung Lee created the bottle as a simple solution for those without easy access to a fresh water source. The ingenious bottle was primarily designed to be used in emergency situations by those stranded on a life raft on the ocean. Puri works by using [reverse osmosis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptable-water-purification-system). After you fill the first chamber with saltwater, you can generate pressure to begin placing freshwater in the second chamber. This is done through a large pump on the top of bottle. As you press on the pump, clean water rushes into a segregated container. As a result, you can enjoy drinkable water even if you don't have access to any electricity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Desalination:** The Puri desalinating bottle demonstrates the trend of portable desalination technology, opening opportunities for compact and efficient water purifying solutions. - **Emergency Water Solutions:** The Puri bottle addresses the trend of emergency water solutions, showcasing the potential for innovative designs that can provide clean drinking water in life-threatening situations. - **Reverse Osmosis Innovation:** The Puri bottle utilizes reverse osmosis technology, highlighting the trend of advancements in reverse osmosis for water purification systems that can be applied in various settings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Adventure Gear:** The Puri desalinating bottle presents opportunities for the outdoor adventure gear industry to develop water purification products suitable for emergency situations and outdoor activities. - **Maritime Survival Equipment:** The Puri bottle's application in life rafts demonstrates the potential for the maritime survival equipment industry to create compact and reliable desalination solutions for maritime emergencies. - **Renewable Energy and Sustainability:** The Puri bottle's reliance on reverse osmosis without electricity highlights the potential for the renewable energy and sustainability industry to adopt and enhance desalination technologies with minimal environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oceanic Pressure Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quenchsea-reel.md) - [Speedy Water Purification Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayl-ultrapress.md) - [Low-Cost Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edrop-water-purifier.md) - [Personal Water-Ionizing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piurify-hydrogenator-bottle.md) - [Avant-Garde Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasium-water-purifier.md) - [Titanium-Made Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayl-ultrapress-titanium-purifier.md) - [Water Purifier Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladislamp-disinfection.md) - [Powered Pitcher-Style Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piurify-alchemy.md) - [Five-in-One Water Filter Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitaloop-water-filtration-bottle.md)
