Platypus Water Filter System, 4-Liter

The Platypus GravityWorks 4.0 Liter High-Capacity Water Filtration System is an exceptional choice for basecamps, group and family camping trips, outdoor pursuits, and emergency readiness. This filtration system operates without the need for pumps, batteries, moving components, or chemical treatments, providing a reliable source of clean water from polluted sources in both adventurous and survival scenarios.

At the heart of this system is a replaceable hollow-fiber microfilter cartridge, which has the capability to filter up to 1,500 gallons of water. This filter adheres to all EPA and NSF guidelines, successfully eliminating 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa from water. This includes harmful pathogens such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Salmonella, and Cholera.

Using the Platypus GravityWorks is straightforward and can be done in virtually any location. Begin by collecting water from a lake, river, stream, or similar contaminated source into the 4.0-liter dirty water reservoir. Once filled, simply suspend this reservoir above the 4.0-liter clean water reservoir, allowing gravity to do its work. Water will flow through the walls of the bundled fibers at a rate of 1.75 liters per minute, effectively filtering out impurities. Impressively, the clean water reservoir can be filled within just 2.5 minutes.

Maintenance is also a breeze, as the system allows for quick backflushing in only four seconds to clean the filter and restore its performance. The whole setup includes a 4-liter dirty water reservoir, a 4-liter clean water reservoir, a hollow-fiber microfilter, hoses, a shutoff clamp, and a storage sack.

Notably, the compact design of the entire kit allows it to compress down to the size of a one-liter water bottle, and it is light enough to be carried easily, weighing in at just 11.5 ounces. Additionally, this product is proudly made in the USA, maintaining a high standard of quality and performance.

This high-capacity, gravity-fed hollow-fiber water filter system proves to be ideal for group and family camping excursions, outdoor adventures, and preparedness for emergencies. Its ability to meet all EPA and NSF guidelines for the removal of harmful contaminants makes it a reliable choice for ensuring safe drinking water. No cumbersome pumping is necessary; the reservoir easily fills and can be hung from a tree or similar structure to provide four liters of filtered water suitable for cooking and washing within a remarkably short timeframe.

In summary, the Platypus GravityWorks 4.0 Liter High-Capacity Water Filtration System delivers an efficient and user-friendly solution for accessing clean water wherever you are. With its excellent filtration capabilities, lightweight design, and ease of use and maintenance, it stands out as a key companion for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone looking to prepare for emergency situations involving access to safe drinking water.
