Platypus GravityWorks systeem 6L waterfilter

The Platypus GravityWorks System 6L is a high-performance gravity water filter designed for backpacking, camping, group use, and emergency preparedness. With a 6-liter dirty water reservoir and a 6-liter clean water reservoir, it efficiently provides safe drinking water for up to 4 people. The system uses hollow fiber filtration technology with a 0.2 micron pore size, effectively removing bacteria, protozoa, and cysts including Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Salmonella, and Cholera. It meets NSF Protocol P231 for bacteria and protozoa removal.

Advantages

Gravity-powered filtration eliminates the need for pumping or squeezing. The system filters up to 1.75 liters per minute, making it one of the fastest gravity filters available. It is field maintainable with a backflushable filter that can be cleaned easily without tools. The quick connect fittings and 120 cm hose allow for easy setup and use.
