Platypus Gravityworks Carbon Element

(Looking at some other reviews) If you are not aware, this carbon element is meant for use with the Platapus GravityWorks water filter. As a standalone filter, it cannot be used. In the event you purchase it under that assumption It is not true what you say. You do not have to write an unfavorable review over your own error. A note about the element carbon Wow, I can't believe it. I have owned a Platapus GravityWorks for the past four years, and I love the product. It was the final touch to add a carbon element. I like the taste of the water produced. Not a single thing! As an alternative to the squeeze filter, the carbon element can be used GravityWorks, on the other hand, really stands out. The water coming out of the other end is essentially tap water, even if it comes from the foulest lake or river. Considering the 1500L claims, I'm not sure how accurate they are. The price is reasonable enough to warrant keeping a spare in case it becomes damaged. I am generally pleased with the performance of the carbon element and the performance of the whole system.

According to prior reviews, the item originally sold for $12, but now costs The market here is interesting to me. It is much less important to be first to market in this space compared to other fields. It was only made as a taste improver, and the manufacturer did not state it was capable of filtering out viruses or harmful chemicals. This statement is meant to be taken literally. In the event that this product decreased the risk of ingesting harmful chemicals/heavy metals/viruses, they would be all over it and advertise it That is why it doesn't. I ask you to take care. You shouldn't believe YouTube videos put out by people who didn't make it through biology or chemistry in high school. As someone with no scientific background, I rely only on expert research that has been reviewed by other authorities before publication. This is not the best thing to put trust in. You will probably taste better if you use it than if you don't. A reverse osmosis filter isn't what this is. If you just cleaned your water, you would have to carry something that weighs 50 pounds or more. There is no point in crying over spilled milk. It may be a good idea to distill some water while backpacking or camping if you care about clean In the absence of reverse osmosis, you'll have no water as good as that. In addition, this is a very expensive product for what it is. When compared with paying for an iPhone, think about how much value this gives. This is way below average in terms of value for money. The product shouldn't cost more than $5, as it adds up to little more than taking up shelf space.

It's time to say goodbye to I already take this small carbon filter on every hike I take. I now consider it a necessity and always bring it with me for emergency water. Even when I'm trying to shed some weight, this little device is easy to take on a hike, as it weighs less than an ounce. appreciate this device if you enjoy the taste of clean water when you are hiking, camping, or in an emergency situation. About 1500 liters of water are projected to be filtered by the Playtypus carbon filter. I recently used this as part of a 4 day hike through the enchantments in Washington, on which I combined it with the Sawyer mini. We found that the carbon filter removed the terrible taste typical of filtered water that is associated with untreated water flawlessly. The 14-inch tube I used to connect it to my sawyer mini fit perfectly. Even though this is slightly heavier, I much prefer it to the ultra-light An iodine tablet solution in light form. I hate it! It won't be long before I pick up a few more of these to include in our emergency kits and in our The cons are Unlike a carbon filter that you can open up and replace the carbon elements, this is not a filter where you can do that. Since it is so small, the carbon filter is only going to last 1500 gallons. For those who are looking for an air filter that will be able to filter more before having to be changed, this one One should discard the sealed container once it has been used up. You shouldn't try this if you don't care about taste, don't want additional resistance in your water filtration, or if you are trying to go ultralight at the expense of water. According to my subjective evaluation, this gets a score of 5 out of 5

In the following categories, I gave this a score of 5 Strength Durability These five features Value of 5 The 5th Aesthetic *Effectiveness of 5 The perseverance factor The ease of use is rated 5 stars. Packaging 5

This filter is what they said it would be. It is possible to taste the cleanest water after it has been run through. The first is that it's slow. The other is that it's not as fast as you'd like. Although it's not completely useless, it may not be your best option if you're in a hurry. A second problem is that the product is In fact, the casing of the plastic tubing is not very durable, and the adapters actually popped off as I tried to remove it. However, make sure you're careful if you use this filter.

As part of my gravity filter, I added this line. I didn't seek out some gamey water to filter because I knew I would have to deal with it. Since it is so cheap, I thought it was a good deal. That worked, and even the water from the muddy creek was crystal clear and tasted like the filtered water in my house. If the mud is too thick to settle, then pour it through something else to prevent both filters from getting clogged. A bit of priming was needed for mine A little bit of drip was allowed, then it began to run faster until the stream was good. It has worked well for me every time since I did that.

Because I am not anticipating using the water bladder that fits in a larger bag that I carry on my back when backpacking or camping, I do not need the functionality to remove contaminants. While I would prefer to have a great tasting water when filling up from a municipal source, such as from a water pump or a sink in the bathroom, I am willing to accept a lesser quality of water. In an application such as this, the filter provides a high level of filtration and taste. I was able to easily install it on the line for my.

You'll find it slows your gravity feed by the skin of your teeth. Is there a reason for the 5-star rating? There are 35 ounces in one package. You'll find it slows your gravity feed by the skin of your teeth. Is there a reason for the 5-star rating? One of the few companies that listened to customers and implemented a drip feed system with a carbon component. I have to give Platypus credit for listening to the consumer. It's probably not needed, maybe it is. Has it helped you? Yes, I agree. No matter how much I want to save weight, I always bring it with me. This gives peace of mind to polluted water users.
