- What does the filter remove?
- The hollow-fiber membrane removes bacteria and protozoa down to 0.2 microns, and the carbon capsule reduces chlorine, taste and odor. It does not remove viruses or dissolved chemicals like lead.
- How often do I replace the filter?
- The membrane is rated for about 1,000 gallons. The carbon capsule should be swapped more often, roughly every 26 gallons, or when taste returns.
- Can I put juice or soda in it?
- No. Sugary drinks clog the membrane. Use it with water only, and backflush after each trip.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes, but only with the filter and carbon capsule removed. Wash those by hand and backflush them.
- How does it compare with a filter straw?
- It holds 22 fl oz and lets you carry filtered water rather than drinking straight from a source. That is more convenient on the move but heavier than a bare straw.
