One of the key features of the BeFree system is its high-performance filter. Its 0.1 micron hollow fiber microfilter has been rigorously tested to safeguard against harmful microorganisms. It effectively removes bacteria such as Klebsiella terrigena (99.9999% removal) and protozoan cysts like Giardia and Cryptosporidium (99.9% removal) in accordance with EPA standards.
The design is ultralight, weighing merely 2.3 ounces (63 grams), making it an excellent choice for those who need a portable solution. The collapsible Hydrapak Soft-Flask easily fits into confined spaces like the pockets of running shorts, cycling jerseys, or backpacks—ideal for ultralight hikers, trail runners, and backpackers.
Cleaning the system is straightforward thanks to its Stay Clean drink nozzle, which prevents dirt, debris, and bacteria from contaminating your water between uses. For maintenance, simply shake or swish the EZ-Clean Membrane filter in water to remove any particles—no backflushing or additional tools are necessary.
Fast output is another significant advantage, with Free Flow Channels enabling an impressive flow rate of 2 liters per minute, accommodating 1-2 users at a time.
