Key Features
- Advanced Filtration Technology: Removes 99.999999% of bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella), 99.999% of parasites (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and 99.999% of microplastics. This ensures safe drinking water from untreated sources, giving you confidence wherever your journey takes you.

- Enhanced Flow Rate: Delivers filtered water at 2.5 liters per minute, thanks to a re-engineered membrane that resists clogging from sand, silt, and sediment. This ensures consistent performance even in murky or silty water conditions.

Important Notes
This product does not require batteries, chemicals, or replacement parts beyond the long-life membrane. It is not designed to remove viruses, heavy metals, or chemical pollutants such as pesticides or industrial contaminants. Regular maintenance, such as backflushing after use in silty water, helps maintain optimal flow rate. The filter comes as a single unit in a 1-pack configuration.
