A rowing oar that is specifically designed to filter out oils and toxins found in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. The FiltOar is intended for anyone who spends time out on the water and provides a much-needed way to help improve the water quality in our struggling environment. The FiltOar uses a charcoal filter in the center of the oar and a separate layer of oil absorbant material to clean the water as the consumer moves about the body of water.

The FiltOar serves everyone from outdoor enthusiasts to competitive rowing teams and allows them to help the environment while doing what they love. Additionally, the FiltOar gives rowers a great training mechanism as it provides more resistance than ordinary oars, making regular paddles feel extremely light when racing. The FiltOar cleans the water by the integration of various cartridges and filters placed inside the oar. There is a charcoal filter in the center that has a mechanism allowing the user to replace the filter or mesh as needed. It also has an absorbent material on the rest of the oar that is designed to collect oil from the water. The Filtoar is designed to filter out oils and other toxins from stormwater in addition to keeping toxic algal blooms at a small number during the peak of the season. The FiltOar is the perfect way to help improve the water quality in rivers and lakes and is also advantageous for competitive rowing teams, which makes the FiltOar a must-have product for both adventure-seekers and serious paddlers alike.
