Really handy as you don't have to carry much water with you. The only downside is that it's quite heavy to push. For example, a child can't push it themselves.

when you need drinking water out of nature this is the one for me good product with general good reputations good packaging on receiving from Varuste.net

A handy addition for hiking

This is much bigger in person than I expected and is made significantly more sturdy than I imagined. Was kinda concerned this would have to be handled delicately but it is a very heavy duty device. Plus the green is a nice subdued color.

Excellent and easy to use. I like to run all my natural waters through this.

Very high-quality product. The plastics used to design this water purifier are durable. The water purifier is easy to use and clean.

An excellent source of guaranteed clean drinking water! Pressing the filter is hard, but without it I would have missed out on a lot of laughs.. :D

Easy-to-use water purifier

A really good purchase. At least you don't have to worry so much about getting drinking water from even smaller streams. Sturdy and simple to use.

The quality of the product is high. After a few uses, it requires quite a lot of weight to push the filter down.

Used once. Maybe it would take one camping season to give a slightly more reliable assessment. I filtered lake water, which should be an easy thing for this. It smelled like fish. Filtered water did not. And the taste was completely ok. I noticed the difference in smell when sniffing the inside and outside of the bottle. Tap water maybe became a little plastic-like with the first test filtration. It still tasted completely drinkable. It is quite heavy to filter, it does not work in the promised time. It does not matter how long it takes. Some people may have difficulties due to the heavy filtration phase. The bottle has a good spout. Good for filling other bottles. If you need to store water. The biggest benefit for me is that I usually do not have to carry large amounts of water with me anymore, except rarely. Water weighs a lot and takes up space. The filtration properties are very good according to the manufacturer. The capsule does not last long. Which on the other hand is also a credible promise compared to other filters. Based on a quick test, I believe I made the best choice for myself. Time will tell how that lasts.

Do the job. I didn't got sick so it works. A bit heavy and handle is a pain since you cannot fold it. Silicone on the bottom make it hard to slide it to the bottle holder or pocket. I would recommend it anyway.

Essential hiking gear for long hikes. The product is lightweight.

A high-quality and sturdy device. The water filtration and cleaning ability surprised me positively. In practice, the water only had a slight discoloration, but no taste of the lake at all.

During the Rokua Emperor's Tour, the group ran out of water. We passed water from the salt pond through coffee filter paper into the Geopress and pressed drinking water from it. The water was very good and came easily.

The product seems to be of high quality. The actual testing will take place on a kayaking trip next summer.

I bought it based on recommendations, no experience yet. I will update the review when I get to try it out.

The purifier works well and makes any water safe to drink. The filter is replaceable after a certain amount of liters. It filters water very quickly, which is a big plus. The bottle is sturdy but quite large and heavy, so less ideal for lightweight hikers. Overall, very satisfied - especially with the great discount from Varuste!

The very top. Secured the water supply also in the July high hills, where water points were few and far between, and on the other hand, in overpopulated areas, there was no need to fear stomach flu. Aroused great envy in other expeditions.

It is not in use yet, but the material and the quality of the work seem to be high-quality.

Active!

Awesome.

A convincing filter and easy and quick to use. However, quite heavy and a big incentive for hiking. Kayaking trips are certainly not a problem.

— Show original

Along with the Lapland hike. We were able to filter all the necessary water for two people. Easy to use. Top product.

— Show original

A really competent shot..diarrhea wrists whine that it's hard to filter, but every straight man who eats meat will surely get used and not be disappointed. The only bottle with the smartest price that also filters viruses.

— Show original

Works great and easy to use. Quickly filters water for several hikers.

— Show original

The bottle has not been used properly yet, but based on previous experiences, it is very functional!

Easy to use but may occasionally splash water when pressed

— Show original

Very good, otherwise it saves heavy weight when you don't have to carry drinking water when going on a hike. A sure choice for a two-day hike!

It does its job, but it is heavy and the filtering time increases very quickly.

Easy to use, a bit heavy.

It was easy to buy and arrived in Lithuania within a week. I haven't used it for its intended purpose yet, but so far I am satisfied with the purchase and its quality.

This is an excellent product. I'm not a scientist so I can't attest to the veracity of their claims on what it filters out, but I can tell you that the water coming out of the spout tastes good. It is quite large and a little heavy but I knew both of those facts before I bought it. Honestly, I think it's a marginal compromise considering it gives you access to what is effectively an unlimited amount of clean, safe drinking water when you're out an about, be that in the wild or in a city. I would pre-filter any water that was very cloudy or with high level of sediment using a Millbank bag or even a mesh ditty bag at a push to prolong the life of the filter. This isn't going to be a solution for more than one or possibly two people but for its intended use it's hard to see how it can be beaten given what it filters out.

— Show original

The perfect product for camping. There is no need to carry many liters of drinking water in the fells, when you can always fill the bottle with clean water if necessary.

— Show original

Excellent for purifying water, however, it works poorly as a drinking bottle, because there is always some unfiltered water at the bottom, which then leaks from the gap onto the breasts.

— Show original

Works quickly and quite conveniently! The only downside is, if the filter starts to reach the end of its service life in the middle of a longer trip, then filtering the water takes longer and becomes physically much heavier than with a fresh filter.

— Show original

The best filter on the market. Works as a drinking bottle at the same time. I recommend!

— Show original

Good for cleaning water, including viruses. I personally like this 710 ml version better than the 0.5 L version of the Compact model. I'm gaining a little weight, but it hasn't been too much yet. In Lapland, of course, you don't normally need to carry it with you, especially if you take water from streams/where it flows. Of course, this also helps in Lapland if an animal has died in the stream upstream.

Works as expected and like the colour way. Easy to use and carry around. Very robust and high quality construction.

The experiences are still fresh, used for 4 days in Kolovedi, i.e. in very clean waters. Works perfectly, easy to use.

— Show original

I got blocked on the first trip, the filtering speed was at the end even a minute with full weight pressed into the bottle.

— Show original

Mention equipment. Easy and quick to use, although it needs a little force. With the right technique and patience, the bottle will fill up.

— Show original

It works like a dream at first, but gets blocked REALLY fast and thus active use becomes really expensive. Katadyn's Befree is a much better option for this, unless you are buying this for e.g. a trip to Asia.

A bit heavy but really functional

— Show original

Handy tip. Almost big and heavy.

— Show original

Appropriately sized but notoriously heavy to squeeze. You should pre-filter the water, so the filter lasts longer and doesn't get full of garbage.

— Show original

Works well and the water tastes good after filtering. A little dear weighs.

— Show original

I have not received the whole product.

— Show original

Not used yet, but you have to have one like this at home.

— Show original

I thought about buying this for a long time, but luckily I got it. You don't have to carry water with you anymore.

— Show original

It works and produces clean water even from a puddle. It takes a lot of force to push the water through the filter.

— Show original

No stars because of the weight and also a bit challenging to learn to use. In other words, you have to learn to manage when the filter needs to be dried in time before the use ends like a wall. Most people think that the filter got clogged, but it does start to work after being rinsed with fresh water and allowed to dry in peace. However, I wouldn't take this on a longer trip because of the ao problem.

— Show original

Using it requires a lot of strength and patience. Otherwise, a perfectly functional facility.

— Show original

Really good, a little splashy but tolerable. Goes with you both in the forest and on city holidays abroad.

— Show original

Too big and heavy. You have to really press with your whole body to get the water through after several uses. I doubted the condition of the filter and sent it back to be tested. They said it was fine, but you have to remember to dry it between uses/fillings.

— Show original

You should look for a sturdy and flat base for the product so that it is easy to press down on the cleaning cartridge. Easy to use.

— Show original

Easy and fast device. Once, even a small hole in the swamp yielded completely clean and drinkable water. It takes a bit of force to squeeze the water through. You should choose a good place and press down with your whole body weight.

Awesome product! I spent 6 months in Cambodia and it worked very well. Also removes the taste of chlorine from tap water. Stay in the credit bottle!

— Show original

I haven't practiced the product yet, but it seems like a quality product. An incredible device if all the specs hold true. After all, the finest bottle I’ve ever made.

— Show original

The bottle is really convenient in size and easy to use. Travels with the trip. 👌😀

High quality product and easy to use.

This is really great, quick and tasty

The amounts of filtration promised are far exaggerated. If you filter the waters of a Finnish lake / pond, the filter will be clogged after 2 days of filtering the water demand. I was looking for a more efficient system.

— Show original

It hasn't been used yet, but the general feeling is true

Very good product

Great except not being able to use in boggy conditions, which i only discovered after buying it, so rules out most of Ireland sadly, seems good other than that

Great crank for hiking. A couple of weekend trips made while taking care of drinking water. Has worked.

— Show original

This is good. Anywhere in the world.

A handy device. Filter life but short.

A good filter that works, but not too big. Fast and easy to use. At least the filter wasn't clogged yet so a good purchase. User experience only in the purification of northern water.

Works. Slightly heavy.

Im just beating the msr hand pump filter. Who purifies himself.

— Show original

The filter is quick and easy to use but the spare filters are really suddenly clogged these days.

— Show original

A little heavy. But the water clears easily

— Show original

Works great for short trips or occasional use. However, when used regularly, for example after several days of hiking, the life cycle of the filter is shorter than promised and the filtration becomes rather slow and heavy after only a few days. Tested with three different filter cartridges, mainly in the fairly clean waters of Lapland.

— Show original

Quite a great system. Especially a useful facility for freshwater kayaking trips. The same goes for hikes. Saves water from splashing. Filtering requires some power and may not be suitable for everyone.

— Show original

Excellent and simple water purifier.

— Show original

Easy to use. No need to lug so much water involved. Water taken from ponds and lakes during summer trips.

— Show original

Cleans well tap water that tastes a little chlorine. Slightly requires force when pressing but not awkward to use. Good instructions included.

— Show original

A really handy way to purify water. Maybe a little heavy if you’re a gram filer. I can't say how the filter will clog if you start cleaning water from really harsh places (muddy / swampy). At least it makes lake water really good drinking water.

— Show original

The only downside is size and weight.

— Show original

Functional and fast. A little heavy.

— Show original

Currently the best option for cleaners which also removes viruses. Simple to use. At the same time it works as a drinking bottle.

— Show original

A product that I saw on Instagram and was interested in. I was able to actually get it. For some reason I couldn't buy it from Amelia, so I'm glad I could buy it at Varuste.net this time. I also sell it on Amazon in Japan, but I was able to buy it cheaply even if I included the shipping fee!

— Show original

Easy to use cleaner.

— Show original

Clever and functional. Operation sometimes requires more power than you might have expected.

— Show original

A very convenient way to purify water on hikes so you don’t have to play with water purification tablets. Worked flawlessly in Lapland in October. Surprisingly heavy and bulky though - in hindsight I might buy a lighter version that would fit better in a backpack and weigh less. Anyway, I recommend.

— Show original

I bought it for a bear tour, I got good fresh water relatively quickly as needed I can't say about the durability of the filter after four days of use, it slowed down somewhat already on that trip, the user's body weight certainly affects it, I'm under 90. Did what it promised. Update, I've been a few times now and I like it when you can get clean fresh water for yourself and others everywhere (in Lapland), cold water is a little heavier to push through

— Show original

I bought the product, I went for a swim, after three days the filter does not want to let water through. I went to the store to change the filter, went on a hike and again the same thing, after a couple of days I couldn’t get through the water. Only relatively clean waters purified. Otherwise, it would look good if only it worked as it should.

— Show original

Not used yet, but if you keep what you promise, I'll get another one. Carrying water is useless, this allows you to dare to leave without any water supplies.

— Show original

A very qualified device for excursions.

— Show original

It worked well at first but surprisingly quickly the filter started to clog and the water purification became very heavy. I used a purifier in Lapland only for the flow of river water in places where I would think there is relatively clean water.

— Show original

Works well on a bike trip.

— Show original

Seems good. I haven't had time to use yet.

— Show original

A couple of trips already included, and makes it easier when you run out of it to charter the waters involved! The water has tasted the same as a home faucet. I highly recommend.

Works!

Easy and fast to use. No

I bought the product, I left for a dip, after three days the filter does not want to let water through. I went to the store to change the filter, went on a hike and again the same thing. Only relatively clean waters purified. Otherwise, it looks like a good product, if only it works as advertised.

If there is cyanobacteria in the water to be shaken, will the filter remove it. Many lakes in summer Finland have this problem.
