CLEAN WATER.
anywhere.
The first modular backpack with integrated 5-stage filtration and 24V LiFePO4 battery system. Built for outdoor, nautical, and emergency use.
The problem
Water is not always safe
Rivers, lakes, and coastal sources contain bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants. Existing portable solutions do not remove all threats.
Outdoor & Survival
Stream and river water contains sediment, bacteria, protozoa, and chemical runoff. Standard filters stop at bacteria and miss viruses and heavy metals.
Nautical Use
Coastal and offshore water requires desalination or at minimum heavy contaminant removal. No portable backpack system currently addresses this segment.
Emergency & Relief
Floods and disasters contaminate municipal supplies. Emergency response requires autonomous, mobile filtration independent of grid power.
Construction
The structural spine of the Compact. Rigid, lightweight, and unified by M4 stainless steel bolts through all layers.
Technology
5-Stage Filtration Chain
From 200µm down to 0.01µm. Each stage removes a specific class of contaminant. Nothing passes through that should not.
Product Line
Three Models. One System.
All models share the same 24V DC architecture. Choose the format that fits your mission. Expand it when you need more.
Power System
24V LiFePO4 Architecture
All AquaCore H2O models run on 24V DC. One voltage, one ecosystem, full solar compatibility.

Why AquaCore H2O
Built Different. By Design.
Every decision in the AquaCore H2O system was made for one reason: reliable clean water in any conditions, without compromise.

Market Context
What the Market Doesn't Tell You
Most portable filters on the market remove bacteria. That is not the same as safe water. Here is what the data actually shows across three filter categories.
Your home filter stays at home. Here is how common domestic systems compare to AquaCore H2O in real-world capability.
The difference: A home RO system delivers comparable filtration quality — but only at home, only with mains pressure, and only for pre-treated municipal water. AquaCore H2O brings that same level of filtration to any water source, anywhere, with its own power. That is the value.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When will I receive my AquaCore H2O?
AquaCore H2O is currently in prototype development. The Kickstarter campaign will confirm the production and delivery timeline. Early backers receive priority delivery and will be kept updated throughout production.
How long do the filters last?
Filter service life varies by stage and water quality. The pre-filter (200µm stainless mesh) is field-cleanable and reusable. The sediment and carbon stages typically last 3 to 6 months depending on source water. The UF membrane has a longer lifespan. Replacement cartridges will be available directly from AquaCore H2O.
Is it safe for any water source?
The 5-stage system removes sediment, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, heavy metals, chlorine, pesticides, and organic contaminants from freshwater sources including rivers, lakes, wells, and tap water. For brackish water up to 20 g/L, the RO Module upgrade is required. Seawater desalination is not supported.
What is the weight and size of the Compact?
The Compact uses a 50L military tactical MOLLE backpack with a 45 × 30 × 17 cm interior. Final weight with all components will be confirmed after prototype testing. The system is designed to be field-portable by a single person.
How long does the battery last?
The 24V 7Ah LiFePO4 battery provides up to 4 hours of continuous operation. It is compatible with solar charging via an MPPT regulator, extending autonomy indefinitely in daylight conditions. The battery has a cycle life of over 2,000 charges before significant degradation.
Can the Compact be upgraded later?
Yes. The Compact is designed for modular expansion. The UV-C inline module can be added after stage 5 for additional pathogen inactivation. Solar panels attach via the MOLLE system. The system is field-serviceable with replaceable components.
What is your refund policy for Kickstarter backers?
Refund and satisfaction guarantee terms will be published with the Kickstarter campaign. Join the waitlist to be notified when full campaign details are available.
