Platypus GravityWorks 4.0L Filter System: $101 (25% Off)
Let nature’s eternal draw filter your water for your group’s hydration needs. That’s the physics (and appeal) behind the Platypus GravityWorks 4.0L Filter System, a tried-and-true method that has earned this product many fans.
The system comes with two 4L Platy Zip reservoirs. One reservoir scoops up water from the best source you can find and hangs above the other, which takes in the filtered water. The process takes less than 3 minutes.
A shutoff valve lets you haul dirty water back to the site for later filtering — after you’ve dispersed the clean water into everyone’s personal bottles. To backflush the filter, simply hold the filtered water reservoir above the unfiltered reservoir.
