The Platypus QuickDraw is a top - notch personal squeeze filter system. It has been thoroughly tested and crafted from high - grade materials, offering an unparalleled user experience among filters in its category. With a generous 1 - liter reservoir, it provides a rapid flow rate. Its ultralight design enables it to easily adapt to various dirty water sources. Key features include: a fast - flowing design that can pump up to 3 liters per minute under squeeze pressure, allowing you to keep moving without long stops; an ultralight build, weighing just 3.3 oz (95 g), which means minimal extra weight for high - end water filtration; easy cleaning methods, such as shake - to - clean and tool - free backflush, to remove particles and maintain high flow rates; seamless compatibility with a wide range of dirty water containers due to its threaded design on the dirty side, enabling system customization; a high - safety standard, with each filter individually tested to meet EPA and NSF guidelines, removing 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa (including Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Salmonella, and Cholera); an integrity test option to check if the filter has been damaged from a fall or freezing; and it comes with a 1L QuickDraw reservoir, a dirty - side cap, a DrinkCap, and a ConnectCap™.
Using the Platypus QuickDraw is a breeze. First, connect the dirty side of the filter to your dirty water reservoir using the threaded design. Then, squeeze the reservoir gently. You'll get up to 3 liters of clean water per minute. When you're done using it, clean it regularly. You can either shake it to clean or do a tool - free backflush to keep the flow rate fast. Keep in mind that you should perform an integrity test if the filter has been dropped or exposed to freezing temperatures. Also, make sure to store it in a dry place. If you notice a decrease in the flow rate or any other issues, clean the filter right away. With proper care, this filter will serve you well on all your outdoor adventures.
