Platypus Ultralight 1L Backpacking Water Filter

For over 20 years, we have been designing and manufacturing water bottles, hydration solutions, and water filtration products for everyday hydration needs - from the city to the trail. Our mission is to offer the finest taste-free and adventure-ready hydration and water filtration products on the planet. We are a dedicated team of water geeks, lab techs, researchers, designers, managers, directors, and worker bees who love to get outdoors and engage in various activities like riding, hiking, running, paddling, and climbing.

We take great pride in making the majority of our hydration solutions right here in the U.S.A. in our own factory. Driven by our belief in creating high-quality products, we have established our own certified, world-class water laboratory. This allows us to research, develop, and test technologies to provide you with safe, effective, and dependable hydration and filtration options that cater to your needs.

Our commitment to quality and innovation is evident in our product lineup, which includes Bottles & Storage, Water Treatment, and Reservoirs. These solutions are designed to enhance your outdoor experiences by ensuring reliable, contaminant-free water access.

One of our flagship products is the QuickDraw Microfilter System, available in various sizes to suit different user needs. The QuickDraw 1L system is ultralight and compact, fitting easily into almost any pocket, making it 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.

The QuickDraw Microfilter System is engineered for exceptional performance, offering a super-fast 3-liter-per-minute flow rate when squeezed and a 1.75-liter-per-minute rate when used in a gravity water filter setup. 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.

Designed for hassle-free maintenance, the QuickDraw Microfilter System can be easily cleaned without any tools, with a simple shake-to-clean or backflush procedure to restore flow rates and remove debris. Weighing only 3.3 oz (95 g), the filter measures 5 x 1.8 in (13 x 5 cm), and the reservoir measures 11.5 x 5.5 in (29 x 14 cm).

Whether you're an ultralight backpacker, a thru-hiker, or part of a small group looking for versatile filtration solutions, the QuickDraw Microfilter System is designed to meet your needs. Its compact size, high flow rate, and easy maintenance make it a reliable companion for your outdoor adventures.
