TEAM WALKABOUT

"Origin Story"

We are a small group of inventors, engineers and craftsmen with a passion for quality and durability. We also love to go walkabout (hence the name). We love being out in the bush, camping, fishing, biking, or exploring, both at home in Australia and abroad. Between us we have lived and worked in eight countries and have gone walkabout in many more. We have been working together for over 15 years and have developed some of the most innovative industrial filtration membrane in the world, including world’s only small bore industrial titanium membrane.

When we are not out and about we like to get together for a beverage and a chat after work on a Friday afternoon. One Friday some years ago the topic turned to something that afflicts up to 50% of those who travel overseas. Montezuma’s revenge, Delhi Belly, the runs–call it what you like (and we have some fairly rude phrases for it), it mostly comes from drinking unsanitary water.

Keeping in mind that travelers and bushwalkers like to keep their packs light and their bums tight, and knowing the limits of other filtration technologies and the many advantages of the Titanium membrane that we had developed for industry, we decided that we could make the membrane even smaller for personal use.

The result is the Walkabout Ti line of personal water filters.
