A good filter at a reasonable price. Two filtering materials - main and carbon - both replaceable. Additionally, a 3L bag for carrying 'dirty water' for later filtration. An essential piece of equipment for a hiking backpack. I recommend it.
Premium-grade filter capable of purifying up to 5,000 liters of water. Suitable for use with gravity filtration, within hydration systems, or for direct intake from water sources.
Integrated threading enables the filter to be screwed directly onto standard bottles (with a 28 mm neck diameter). The removable adapter further facilitates attachment to bottles with a 30 mm neck.
The filtration element (Carbon Fiber) safeguards against infiltration of microorganisms exceeding 0.1 micron in size (including salmonella, cholera, and E. coli bacteria) — offering a protection efficiency of 99.99999%!

I gave this filter to a friend for a one-and-a-half-month trip to French Guiana, with excursions to Suriname and Brazil. She drank water from the Maroni, Rio Lawa, Oyapock rivers and smaller tributaries. She came back alive and in perfect health, and it's already been several months, so the filter worked very well. In our climate, you have to remember not to let it freeze (like all such filters). Besides its large capacity (up to 5000 liters of water for the main cartridge), an advantage of this filter is the availability of replaceable cartridges to buy – the main and carbon ones. Great product! Oh, and it's a bit bigger than it seems in the photos.

I've already filtered about 50 liters in the field, including from poor streams and brooks where I had to scoop water with a cup and pour it through a buff. The taste is ok—I don't know if that's the advantage of the carbon, it's hard to tell before and after ;) No revelations for the four testers. The bladder is tight and durable—you can indeed fill it, attach it to a backpack and filter somewhere else. Washing and drying the bladder takes a bit of patience and ingenuity. The filter itself is carefully and cleverly made—the threads for regular PET bottles on both sides allow all combinations, just don't mix up the outlet and inlet ;) I shortened the tube for convenience, and the included carabiner and lanyard are replaced by things I usually take on a hike anyway. If the water flows poorly at first, it's best to rinse immediately with what's already been filtered. The filter (microtube insert) should not be stored dried out.

A water filter for universal use. It works well during hiking trips where carrying an extra bottle of water increases the weight in your backpack. The double water filtration system increases the safety of use. The whole set fits in a handy, waterproof pouch with a drawstring closure. The bladder with a tube allows you to carry a water supply or use it as a source at the campsite. I recommend the product.

As my predecessor wrote, the description does not match reality (fortunately, it's to the benefit, except for the lack of a syringe for cleaning). Tested for 3 days. Water from a stream near the village, quite brisk and clear, but many animals use it. After filtration, I still boiled it. The taste was like bottled water, no smell. No stomach problems. It seems to work – and at least 229 PLN for such psychological and taste comfort is not much :P

I am very satisfied with the purchase. The contents of the package differed from what was described. The filter included: a flexible bladder with a 3-liter capacity, tube 80 cm long, mounting strap 90 cm long, a carabiner, and a carrying bag. The set I received did not include a syringe for cleaning the filter, but that is not a problem [you can use another syringe or a bottle, e.g., after mineral water]. The weight given in the description refers to the whole set. The filter itself weighs 100g. The description doesn't mention that the filter provides a two-stage filtration level and contains two filtering elements: a microfiber filter and a replaceable carbon filter [as per the attached instructions]. My satisfaction is even greater because I bought the filter during the 'summer sale.'
