This Collapsible Bottle Lets You Collect And Filter Fresh Water On Days Out
As summer approaches, camping sites will begin springing up to life across the country. And while nothing beats enjoying the great outdoors, it can often be a hassle to find clean, running water, especially if you’re somewhere rural.
That’s where HydraPak’s new Flux+ bottle comes in. Where the original Flux series debuted a lightweight water bottle that collapses down to fit in a pocket when on the go, the new version comes with a filter top to clean water from natural sources.
Now, the portable water carrier, which can fit over 50 ounces of beverage, can be a source of fresh, clean water even when trekkers are far from a water cooler—a feature that could be potentially life-saving for those who love an adventure.
The firm has expanded its filtration line to include larger containers and tops that can work with a variety of its existing bottles. Users can operate the system by squeezing the bottle to drink directly or pouring it into a separate container.
According to HydraPak, its filter is so effective it can get rid of 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.999% of parasitic cysts and microplastics that may find their way into the water.
Flux™+ 1.5L bottle retails for US$55 online, and it can be completely rolled up when empty to save space.
