Platypus Ultralight 1L Backpacking Water Filter

For over 20 years, we have been creating water bottles and hydration solutions to cater to the everyday hydration needs of individuals, from the city streets to the rugged trails. Our mission is to offer the finest taste-free and adventure-ready hydration and water filtration products on the planet. We are a team of water enthusiasts, including lab technicians, researchers, designers, managers, directors, and field workers, who share a passion for the outdoors and the joy of every sip of adventure.

We take pride in the fact that we manufacture the majority of our hydration solutions right here in the U.S.A., in our own factory. Moreover, we believe in what we create and strive to do it right. To that end, we have established our own certified, world-class water laboratory, which enables us to research, develop, and test technologies, ensuring that you have access to safe, effective, and dependable hydration and filtration options that meet your needs.

Our commitment to quality is evident in the products we offer. The QuickDraw Microfilter System, for instance, is an ultralight and compact solution perfect for backpacking, thru-hiking, and camping. Its wide mouth and handle allow for quick and easy filling at any water source, and the included reservoir serves as the perfect "dirty bag" for custom filter systems. With a super-fast flow rate of 3 liters per minute when squeezed and 1.75 liters per minute when used in a gravity water filter setup, the QuickDraw Microfilter System ensures efficient and reliable water filtration.

The ease of maintenance is another key feature of our products. The QuickDraw Microfilter System, along with our other water treatment solutions, are easy to clean without the need for tools. A simple shake-to-clean or backflush can restore flow rates and remove any accumulated debris. Moreover, the hollow fiber filter is individually tested and meets the stringent NSF & EPA P231 protocol, ensuring the removal of 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa.

At the heart of our brand lies a deep passion for the outdoors and a commitment to making things right. We love what we do and where we do it, and we believe that this dedication is reflected in the quality and performance of our hydration and water filtration products. Whether you're an ultralight backpacker, a seasoned hiker, or part of a small group seeking the convenience of a gravity-based filtration system, we have the right solution to quench your thirst and support your adventures.
