Benefits

Using this bottle cuts down on single use plastic by offering reusable filtration that, according to the manufacturer, lasts for thousands of liters. The membrane microfilter is rated to protect against 99.999999% of bacteria including E coli and Salmonella, and 99.999% of parasites including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The added carbon stage reduces chlorine and organic tastes, so water from taps or public refill points tastes better. Note that the carbon cartridge has a shorter service life than the membrane, so replacement timing depends on how often you refill.

How to use it

Fill the bottle from your source, screw on the lid, and sip through the mouthpiece to engage the filter. It’s simple and quick when you need safe water away from home. It’s a great fit if you want reduced waste and filtered water without bulky gear, and it may not suit you if you need very large daily volumes without refilling.
