GeoPress Water Purifier - Covert Black

Product Information

Filters: particulates (i.e. silt, microplastics, etc.); ultra-powdered activated carbon effectively adsorbs chemicals (including PFAS & VOCs), pesticides, heavy metals, flavors, and odors. Finally, it’s also one of the most expensive of the water purification systems available (coming in a tiny bit cheaper than the Grayl). However, in my experience, you get what you pay for. Because gravity, rather than your hands, is doing all the work, this version of the Sawyer is a lot more durable. Additionally, the Sawyer Mini filter that comes with it has the same long lifespan – 100,000 gallons of water or, what the manufacturers claim is equivalent to a lifetime of water. I recently got my hands on the vastly new and improved Grayl GEOPRESS filter water bottle and it changed the way I am able to travel and hike literally overnight. Not to mention the fact that I have eliminated single use plastic bottles from all of my travels and daily life.

I also found this pretty hard to use for one main reason: the bag tears pretty easily if you’re not super careful when you’re squeezing.A Grayl water bottle is armed with a filter, so you don’t need to buy a water bottle and then a filter system.

If you’re traveling and don’t have access to any water filtration system, boiling is the most reliable method of acquiring safe drinking water. The best travel water purifier for simplicity: I personally prefer the Steripen as I’ve found this the fastest and most reliable method of treating tap water throughout South America. Iodine purification tablets and drops don’t purify water from cryptosporidium oocysts and they can also leave the water with an unpleasant taste, although this can be circumnavigated with the help of additional tablets that neutralize the flavor. SummaryWater filters– such as those like Brita filters you might find in your home – can remove impurities such as small particles and unpleasant odors such as chlorine (which is often used to kill micro-organisms in the water to ensure that it’s safe to drink in the first place). Both “purifier” and “filter” are thrown around a lot, but did you know they actually have a crucial difference? What’s more, your water purifier can be used on every trip you take in the future, making them an environmentally- and budget-conscious piece of travel equipment. What is the difference between water purifiers and water filters? This brings me to my next point… The Grayl GEOPRESS Water Bottle is Fighting the Evil Plastic Monster To make things simple, water purification systems can be broken down into the following types of products: Type
