24 FL OZ GEOPRESS

So I bought this entirely for the purpose of when I’m travelling rather than going to buy water from a resort, hotel, or airport. I could just use this as a portable filter to fill up water bottles and other things by filtering faucet water. It works perfectly. I just got back from a six day trip and not once did I have to buy water. This made the faucet tap water taste nearly as good as normal bottled water. It removed the chemical taste entirely from the water and I was able to drink as much water as I wanted the entire trip rather than conserving water from purchased bottled. This model the normal GeoPress is on the larger end, I was able to fit this in the water bottle side pocket of my back pack with a little effort. It is also on the heavier end comparable to a half full 16oz plastic water bottle, and when full probably two full water bottles of weight which made me keep the bottle in the fridge rather than walking around with it on me full. I will also say to make sure you listen to the directions and follow the maximum fill line on the bottle. Due to the design of the filter if you go anywhere over the maximum fill line water will come over the sides. Also, make sure you twist the cap properly to vent the pressure built up when pressing the filter. There’s a small red and green dot to show line up with an arrow on the cap to show red when it’s closed and green when it’s twisted enough to vent. All in all incredibly happy with this purchase even at this price point, since the trip was in vegas I’ve easily recouped the cost of it in the money I saved not having to buy any water at all the entire trip. A word of warning, make sure you do the pressing filter process exactly the way it tells you to. If you’re like me and try to press it shoulder level down on a table it’s possible, but a killer arm workout and much slower than if done properly.

Worked perfectly on a recent trip to Egypt. Questionable water was never a concern and the taste of the water we filtered through our Grayl was far superior to any commercial bottled water we could buy. Not cheap, but great insurance having clean, safe drinking water on our travels!

If you have young kids, this is your answer. I needed an easy purification system to use while hiking with my kids, and I needed something that would produce water "normal" enough for a young kid to drink abundantly. The Grayl was a home run. This filter works great, but it is especially perfect if you are traveling with kids. I took one of my kids (8 yrs old) on a short backpacking trip this summer and this was the ideal filter. She can't really work the slowish straw-type or pump-type filters; adding the purifying drops makes the water taste like medicine and sometimes you have to wait awhile; and the UV-light systems might kill the bugs but the water remains silty or murky. The Grayl solves all of those problems. My kid isn't a wimp; she would have reluctantly drunk murky or bad-tasting water, but she drank a lot more water (esp. important in July) since I could refill her water bottle with clear, great-tasting water as quickly and as often as she wanted. The second time I used the Grayl (long day-hike), I was able to continuously refill the water bottles for the entire family. Again, it was super convenient and not difficult to convince the younger kids to drink the clear and clean water that came out. Maybe it's not 100% perfect: it's a little hard to push the inner bottle down (but not that hard). I squirt myself in the face sometimes as excess water comes out the sides as I push down, but with young kids this thing was absolutely worth its weight in gold. The water looks and tastes like fresh clear tap water, and you can refill others' water bottles as much and as quickly as you want. Like I said (wrote) above: Home Run.

I wanted to be positive of the water I drink while I go hiking. It is recommended that the lighter weight filtering systems can be used as supposedly virus probability is low. I researched for a long time deciding between the ultra light weight systems and this. But those do not filter for viruses. This is heavier and takes pressure to push the filter down the bottle but that's is why makes me confident that I will have clean water. The color is ok. It's green, it will do. I don't need bright neon colors hiking. It is made of a strong sturdy plastic material, doesn't have a strong smell and the lid fits well to prevent leaking. The peace of mind in having this is worth the extra weight of a few ounces and the price.

I scored the Grayl GeoPress on a sale, which made the purchase even that more enjoyable; however, even at full price, I've found the Grayl GeoPress to be the best purifier bottle you can buy. They work excellent, filter out all the nasties that would concern you, and the filter life is excellent if well maintained. The GeoPress is my purifier bottle go-to and a product that's never let me down. Excellent company and a product you can trust to keep you safe.

Pros: Very effective at purifying water - I had no issues with it while backpacking. The purified water tasted great - better than at home (but then again, I had relatively clear water to grab from). You can use drink mixes with the clean water. It seems durable and is a nice size. I did not notice any leaking at all. The color is nice, and cleaning at the end of the trip was easy. Cons: A bit expensive, but worthwhile if your water source is questionable enough to need a purifier. The press feature can be fatiguing, especially if you plan on filling your hydration system with it. I filled my 3L bladder, and after the fourth press my hand felt it. I recommend using a folded up towel or some other padding to help minimize the hand fatigue. Overall, I am happy with the product, and my 11 year old was able to use it, although pressing it became a bit difficult as our hike went on. I plan on keeping for questionable “natural” water source purification, but might explore cheaper filtration systems and use that primarily when water sources are not as questionable.

Great bit of kit excellent filtration

I am using this in my caravan to filter drinking water that comes from my van tank. It is easy to use and the water tastes great. I was looking for something compact that did the job.

The product is good enough and protected my stomach from the mountain water. Not enough value for money with ease of use though

Bought the above. Can somebody who knows these things confirm that all I do is remove the top, fill with water, replace the top and then I'm good to go with this product and just drink beautiful clean water? On the plus side I'm in UK and it arrived very quickly with great tracking info from USA. Lightweight.
