Regular Price: $99.95  This system has changed our trail lives! Don't let filtering drinking water on trail be a chore. This makes it an easy task. No chemical water treatment taste. Simple to use. Effective. Far superior to any other gravity system or pump system we've ever used. Ideal for the Boundary Waters, we use it on all of our guided camping trips.
Using revolutionary Hollow Fiber technology and a little physics, the CleanStream™ microfilter system treats 4 liters of water in less than 2.5 Dirty side - even before the Clean side is empty and you'll be automatically refilling as you go. A quick-disconnect fitting allows for easy removal and filling of the Dirty reservoir and back flushing for optimal performance is as easy as changing the height of the reservoirs. No moving parts, no assembly, near-zero effort. It's lightweight enough for two, and efficient enough for a whole group. - System includes two 4-liter reservoirs, 1 for unfiltered water and 1 for filtered water; reservoirs have hang loops for easy in- camp use
- Simply fill the unfiltered reservoir and hang it above the clean water reservoir to let gravity carry the water through the filter
- Hollow fiber filter technology offers a high flow rate of 1.6 liters per minute—that's 4 liters in 2.5 minutes!
- Filter physically removes particles, protozoa, and bacteria down to 0.2 microns in size, including giardia, salmonella, cryptosporidia and others
- Unfiltered reservoir features a quick-disconnect valve that automatically shuts off the flow of water when hose is disconnected
- Shutoff hose clamp on the filtered-water hose allows on-demand water control for filling bottles; clamp also shuts off the system when not in use
- Cap and elbow fitting on the filtered-water reservoir integrates with all Platypus spouts
- Clean the system by simply holding the filtered-water reservoir above the unfiltered-water reservoir to backflush the filter
- Taste-free reservoirs and silicone hoses ensure great-tasting water
