Platypus GravityWorks System 6L Water Filter

The Platypus GravityWorks System 6L is a high-performance gravity water filter designed for backpacking, camping, group use, and emergency preparedness. With a 6-liter dirty water reservoir and a 6-liter clean water reservoir, it efficiently provides safe drinking water for up to 4 people. The system uses hollow fiber filtration technology with a 0.2 micron pore size, effectively removing bacteria, protozoa, and cysts including Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Salmonella, and Cholera. It meets NSF Protocol P231 for bacteria and protozoa removal.

Advantages

Gravity-powered filtration eliminates the need for pumping or squeezing. The system filters up to 1.75 liters per minute, making it one of the fastest gravity filters available.
