I went to their website and found the following page of test results. It is
basically forward osmosis, so it isn't fast, but it is highly effective
without any need for applied power.

y_Code=TECH-TR
I was also interested to know what the shelf life was and found the
following statement in the FAQ page:
How long can I store HTI’s products before they go bad?
When stored below 90°F, HTI guarantees a 3 year shelf life. Membranes
tolerate high temperatures well. HTI membranes are routinely used in
industrial applications at 150°F. Like any food product, storage below 90°F
is best. If stored in less demanding conditions, HTI products can see a
shelf life of around five years.
I was looking for size and weight specs, but the closest I found was that a
pallet of x-packs (the 10-day version) weighs 2.75 pounds. The output of
the x-pack is 1.5 liters per 6 hours.
All of this leads me to believe it would definitely be a viable addition to
a ditch bag. At $64, I'd buy a couple and have one packed into the liferaft
and one in the ditch bag.

I don't have test results, Eric. I only learned about this company
yesterday, and was intrigued enough by their products to bring it to the
list's attention.
