The Personal Water Decon Kit.

FEATURES

THE CHASSIS

The Chassis is the backbone on which the AR-1 is built. Machined from solid HDPE, the chassis stabilizes the intake and outlet arms of the pump using the drum of the pump to alleviate the need for fragile independent mounts that become failure points. Utilizing multiple dampening methods including controlled deflection, the pump is allowed to vibrate without being unnecessarily constrained, making the pump unbelievably quiet - not interrupting your solitude with noisy electromechanical systems. We added two large, pronounced, padded crash guards to protect the AR-1 while also serving as convenient and easy handles.

THE BRAIN

The Electronics Enclosure is the brain of the AR-1 and an IP65 enclosure rated for exposure to water and harsh conditions. Utilizing industry-standard Anderson PowerPole 15A Connectors, the AR-1 will accept power from any 12V style battery (LiPo, LiFePO4, Li-Ion, SLA, AGM) or other 12V sources. Pulling a scant 3.5A with built-in protection and a user-serviceable standard SAE blade fuse, the Electronics Enclosure interprets the power input and provides the AR-1 with clean, reliable, and consistent power to accomplish its mission - move water. With a simple, but straightforward connection method, the single, bright LED will alert you when power is present and ready for action.

THE DEFENSE

In-line Strainers provide a vital function as the first line of defense for the pump. The AR-1 comes equipped with not one but TWO inline strainers to protect and preserve the life of the pump from large debris, but also to serve as the first pre-filtering stage for you in your water production. The first is located at the end of the inlet hose as a first-pass intake strainer while the second is conveniently located on the AR-1 inlet arm in a transparent housing. When you notice your flow rate slowing or a slimy build-up on the stainless steel screen, simply power down the pump, unscrew the transparent housing and remove the strainer screen for fast, user friendly cleaning.

USER ORIENTED

Two hose quick-detach (QDs) round out the AR-1s modus operandi. Allowing for rapid attachment and detachment, the QDs interface with the provided CANA PROVISIONS hoses shipped with each unit OR allow the end user to assemble their own hoses using the do-it-yourself (DIY) hose kit in our accessories section. While not in use, the provided QD plugs can be used to seal off the pump from outside contaminants and prevent the any residual water from leaking out into your gear during transport. Shipped in a purpose driven mesh carrying pouch, enclosing the AR-1, intake and output hoses, and 12V accessory power cable, the AR-1 starter kit has everything you need to hit the ground running.
