Platypus Clean Stream Gravity Filter

REI

Filtering water has never been so easy—let gravity do all the work with the pump-free Platypus CleanStream Gravity filter system.

  • System includes two four-liter reservoirs, one for unfiltered water and one for filtered water; reservoirs have hang loops for easy in-camp use
  • Simply fill the unfiltered reservoir and hang it above the clean water reservoir to let gravity carry the water through the filter
  • Hollow fiber filter technology offers a high flow rate of 1.6 liters per minute—that's 4 liters in 2.5 minutes!
  • Filter physically removes particles, protozoa, and bacteria down to 0.2 microns in size, including giardia, salmonella, cryptosporidia and others
  • Unfiltered reservoir features a quick-disconnect valve that automatically shuts off the flow of water when hose is disconnected
  • Shutoff hose clamp on the filtered-water hose allows on-demand water control for filling bottles; clamp also shuts off the system when not in use
  • Cap and elbow fitting on the filtered-water reservoir integrates with all Platypus spouts
  • Clean the system by simply holding the filtered-water reservoir above the unfiltered-water reservoir to backflush the filter
  • Taste-free reservoirs and silicone hoses ensure great-tasting water

Good product

Good flow rate, water tasted just as good as my katydin hiker pro. Only negative is that you need a good flowing source of water to get the bag completely full. It is somewhat hard to get a full bag in shallow slow moving water.

So easy! No more pumping!

I used the "dirty" resevoir/pump and left the "clean" resevoir at home. When filtering water, I directly hooked it up to my platypus hydration bag, or directly into my pot. Used it straight from the box on a 9-day backpack trip with no problems. Easy to backflush filter in the field. You can remove the pump, use the short hose with the clamp, hang the "dirty" bag from a tree and use it as a camp shower. No cold fingers in the morning from pumping water! NICE!!

Convenient and easy to use

I used this on an 8 day trip with a group of 7. It was a lot easier than pumping water - hang it and (almost) forget it. When the filter is clean it's also much faster than pumping. It does require backflushing regularly to maintain the flow rate - probably every second or third time based on the lakes and streams we used. For a group as large as ours (7 people) I would recommend a secondary container for water storage convenience. Initially I was concerned about the integrity of the plastic water reservoirs, but it's all low pressure so you could do a field repair with duct tape if needed. Overall this was a huge improvement over past trips where we used a conventional filter and pumped the 1-2 gallons per person per day.
