No zinc in that one. Once the membrane gets any tiny pin hole or the 
seal fails, everything is neutralized rapidly and that can be dangerous. 
Should have done a more thorough job with that cell as it was not well 
crafted.

However, when used to enrich HOOH, there is one grade of Goretex which 
is a decent filter, at least for a few days. For whatever reason, that 
stuff will pass almost anything BUT water, for a while. If it were only 
longer lasting, it would be great. Probably has a coating which degrades 
more rapidly than they realize.
