This gravity fed water filter is a 1 gallon (3.78 L) hanging bag system for camping, backpacking and emergency kits. Fill the bag at a lake, river or creek, hang it from a branch and let gravity move the water through the filter, with no pumping, no squeezing and no batteries.
The foldable food-grade TPU bag has a wide roll-top mouth with a buckle and an adjustable strap. A hose with a shut-off clip carries the water to the inline filter, which layers PP cotton, coconut shell activated carbon, mineral beads and a hollow fiber membrane the maker rates at 0.1 micron. It is designed to help reduce sediment, unpleasant smells and impurities for cleaner tasting water.
Tired of squeezing a pouch until your hands ache, one bottle at a time? Here you fill once and get on with the tent, the fire or dinner while the water runs. The maker puts a full bag at about 5 minutes, and the higher you hang it, the faster it goes. Silty water runs better if you let it settle first, and you should always follow the safe water guidance for your area.
It earns its place at home too. US emergency guidance suggests about 1 gallon of water per person per day, and this bag holds exactly that in one fill, with no power needed. Fold it into its pouch and keep it in the closet, the truck or a go bag. You do not need to be a prepper to be prepared.
