Made in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty, it’s the ultimate choice for clean water on the move. ## Description The Platypus QuickDraw Microfilter 3 Liter System is an easy-to-use, fast and ultralight filtration system with the best drinking experience in its category. The simple and rugged design is a two-part system: the 3L QuickDraw Reservoir and the QuickDraw Microfilter. Made of Platy’s proprietary tri-layer film, the QuickDraw Reservoir is taste-free and durable while featuring a wide mouth and convenient handle for hassle-free filling at any water source, and a super durable TPU hang strap. Using hollow fiber technology, the QuickDraw Microfilter is capable of filtering 3L of water per minute, while an ergonomic clean side spout makes it easy to deposit filtered water into any clean reservoir or directly into your mouth. ConnectCap and included hose with CPC connector allows the filter to easily fill any reservoir water reservoir with a CPC connection, including the Platypus Big Zip Evo and most HydraPak Reservoirs, or it can thread directly onto any 28mm water bottle, including smartwater, Cnoc bags, soda bottles, and more. The included bottle adapter connects to both wide- and narrow-mouth Nalgene, HydroFlask, Cnoc Bags, and Yeti water bottles, making it easy to fill any water bottle. Two easy and effective cleaning methods—shake-to-clean and tool-free backflushing—ensure fast flow rates stick around for the duration of a trip. With a grippy-but-not-sticky filter housing, the QuickDraw eliminates frustrations like dirt-caked gear. The QuickDraw Microfilter 3 Liter System weighs 8.2 ounces total. The filter cartridge measures 5 x 1.8 inches and the whole system packs down to a compact 9.5 x 3.9 x 3.2 in (24 x 10 x 8 cm). Limited lifetime warranty. Made in the USA. Review: Handle Loop Breaks First Use - I have been using Platypus water storage containers on backpack trips for decades and been pleased with their performance and durability. So when it came time to replace my Sawyer water filter for a multi day kayak trip, I decided to splurge and purchase this $90 platypus gravity feed filtration system (see picture). On its very first use, we filled the the platypus water container unit, attached the platypus water filter to the container, hung the platypus water container to a tree by running a sleeping bags strap from a limb through the blue handle of the platypus water container, and then threaded the tubing from the platypus “dirty” water container to another platypus water bottle to receive filtered water. We watched to make sure the water was running through the filter into our clean water bottle. As we are watching, the blue strap detaches from the platypus water bottle and the unit crashes to the ground. The component that is glued or welded to the platypus water container had detached from the water container: see picture. This attachment arrangement is seems remarkably insecure and cheaply done for a $90 system. I’ve used other gravity fed filtration systems and they have the handle attachment go through a reinforced area of the container. This system does not. I would not trust it to last. The rest of the trip we had to hold the 3 liter filtration container by hand during the filtration process. Needless to say, we are returning this unit. Review: I like this system so far - We were looking for a larger filter system for a couple of backpacking trips. I had purchased another popular brand and was not impressed on my last trip. After 4 bags of water the bag separated from the bottom plastic part making it unusable. I contacted the manufacturer about it and they never got back to me (I bought it 3 months ago in preparation for the trip so I was past the return window). So I’m trying a new brand. So far I like how adaptable it is. The cap at the end of the fill tube screws right onto my Nalgene bottle. You can take it off and fill directly into my camel pack. Or just let it run into whatever container you have. I’m using this on a 3 night 40 mile backpacking trip next week so I’ll update then ## Features - An ultralight and versatile water filtration system for small backpacking groups, the QuickDraw 3L gravity filter system is perfect for hikers on fast and light missions - ConnectCap threads the clean side of the filter directly on to any 28mm water bottle, including smartwater, select Cnoc bags, soda bottles, and more - Hose and bottle adapter connects to both wide- and narrow-mouth Nalgene, HydroFlask, Cnoc Bags, and most Yeti water bottles - Included CPC connector connects to many hydration bladders, including the Platypus Big Zip Evo, most Hydrapak reservoirs, and many OEM reservoirs. I/O threads, the ConnectCap, quick connector-fitted hose, and the Bottle Adapter let you dial in your custom leak-free system using the clean and dirty vessels you prefer, like smartwater bottles, Platy bottles, and quick disconnect-fitted hydration reservoirs. - Super fast 3 liters per minute flow rate when squeezed and 1.75 liters per minute when used in a gravity water filter setup - 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 - Ultralight at just 8.2 oz (233 g), filter measures 5 x 1.8 in (13 x 5 cm) and whole system packs down to a compact 9.5 x 3.9 x 3.2 in (24 x 10 x 8 cm).
