Looking for a simple, easily cleanable, pump-free way to filter water at home or on the trail? You want one of these Platypus Meta Bottle + Microfilter setups. This bottle combines 1L capacity with a filter that meets EPA and NSF guidelines (removal of 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of Protozoa) and is capable of filtering water at up to two liters per minute. What’s more, the bottom of the bottle collapses in on itself to fit easily into your bag, pack or glovebox, and everything but the filter itself is top rack dishwasher safe. It’s easy to use, easier to clean, highly portable and actually works. What more do you need in a water bottle?
