We take a closer look at the Grayl Geopress Water Filter and Purifier Bottle. We perform a first filtering test while checking out its features as well as its drawbacks. The Geopress is designed to remove viruses, bacteria, and protozoa with a press time of 8 seconds, although our test took nearly twice as long. It filters 24 oz of water and is built for durability and ease of use with a simple one-press mechanism. This bottle is ideal for hikers, car campers, and travelers where weight isn't a major concern. However, its size and weight may not be ideal for those prioritizing backpacking ultralight gear.

To GRAYL or Not to GRAYL…. That is the question. 🤔

@sukiline Ай бұрын

After a nasty round of sapovirus, from a polluted stream, I always filter with a virus filter, today. The Grayl filter has an extremely short lifespan, even though I previously pre-filtered with a fabric cloth. The Grayl filter stopped (filtered less than 10L) on a hike far from home, so today I use Katadyn Hiker Pro for pre-filtering. Yes... it weighs a lot, but on the other hand I can filter the wildest amounts of water without worrying about the water quality. Always have chlorine tablets and boiling as backup. Never take chances with viruses.

Wow! 10 liters it’s very much before the filter clogged.

We used these extensively at Isle Royale, Gregory Bald in TN and AuSable river. No illness afterwards just sore hands and the occasionally squirting out the top if you don't press straight down. A little time consuming to fill bladders and pots for cooking.

Nice! Have you had to replace the filter yet?

@AlexHensley-zu5ik Ай бұрын

@@ExploreTrekAdventure No, we flushed the filter each return and set out to dry. No issues so far. Heading to the Spanish River next month with them.

Sounds like an exciting test! We sent you an email, take a look.

Can you pour boiling water into the geopress outer cup as you wait for it to cool down (after boiling in a titanium kettle, for example) or will the heat damage the plastic? (Im not suggesting the filter is used with boiling water, only if the plastic can withstand the heat of boiling water)? Thanks!

That would be a good question for Grayl, but there could be multiple issues. The plastic might melt, but the big issue is the cup is the dirty water container. It would need boiling water for 1 minute to kill any bacteria.
