Overview
A two-bag gravity filtration kit for backcountry water: a 6-liter dirty water bag feeds through a hollow-fiber filter rated for about 1,800 gallons into a matching 6-liter clean water bag, with a cleaning plunger and connectors included.
Rather than pumping or squeezing, this setup hangs the dirty bag and lets gravity push water through the filter into the clean bag, which suits groups or families who need volume rather than a single sip at a time. The filter threads use standard soda-bottle sizing, so it can also be adapted to other bottles beyond the two included bags.
- Two 6-liter bags: one dirty, one clean
- Gravity fed, no pumping needed
- Filter rated about 1,800 gallons
- Threads fit standard water and soda bottles too
Who it's for
Best for families, small groups or a single hiker who wants to filter several liters at a time without hand-pumping, and who doesn't mind hanging the setup from a branch or hook while it drains. Ultralight solo hikers who only need a liter or two per stop may find the two 6-liter bags more bulk than they need.
Pros and cons
- Filters several liters at once with no pumping required
- Filter threads fit standard bottle caps too
- Long rated filter life at about 1,800 gallons
- Needs something to hang the dirty bag from
- Two 6-liter bags add bulk versus a straw filter
Performance notes
Water poured into the dirty bag drains by gravity through the attached filter and into the clean bag below; there is no pumping or squeezing required once it is hung. The filter is rated to remove more than 99.99 percent of common waterborne bacteria and parasites and to catch microplastics down to 0.1 micron, with a rated capacity of about 1,800 gallons, which the listing frames as roughly a decade of drinking water for one person.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pump this filter?
No. Water drains by gravity once the filled dirty bag is hung above the clean bag, so no pumping or squeezing is needed.
How much water can the included filter handle before it needs replacing?
The filter is rated for about 1,800 gallons, which the manufacturer estimates as roughly ten years of drinking water for one person.
Can I use this filter on a different bottle?
Yes. The filter screws onto the same thread size used by typical soda and water bottles, so it isn't limited to the two included bags.
