A complete squeeze filter system that weighs less than a granola bar and packs smaller than a rolled t-shirt is hard to argue with on a weight-conscious canoe route or backpacking trip. The QuickDraw 1L Filter System pairs the hollow fibre QuickDraw Filter with a compact 1L dirty reservoir built from durable tri-layer film that's guaranteed plastic-taste-free. The wide-mouth opening and fill handle let you scoop from a lake or stream quickly without getting your hands wet, which is a small but welcome detail when the water is cold. I/O dual threads on the dirty side connect to the included reservoir as well as standard narrow-mouth bottles like smartwater and most Platy bottles, while the clean side gives you the choice between the DrinkCap for drinking directly and the ConnectCap for outputting into another vessel. At up to 3 litres per minute with normal squeeze pressure, it moves water fast enough that waiting around isn't really part of the experience. Every filter is individually tested to meet EPA and NSF guidelines, confirming removal of 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa, including Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and E. coli. Shake-to-clean and backflushing keep flow rates up across a full trip, and the integrity check gives you confidence the filter is still performing safely after rough handling or an accidental freeze.
