However, the smallest bacteria are also 200 nanometers wide, so they pass through. The smallest virus is 25 nanometers in diameter. They’re going to pass through as well. However, the LifeSaver bottle has pores that are 15 nanometers wide and is able to sterilize the water so that no bacteria or viruses can harm the drinker.</p> <p>Check out this awesome demonstration.
