Description
A replacement filter for Pristine Water Bottles. Most filters use a membrane to screen out the micro-organisms and parasites. This system uses a sintered polymer matrix that traps microorganisms, but provides less resistance to water, so you don't need a pump to push water through.
- Removes 99.9% or greater of cryptosporidium and giardia lambia.
- Removes sediment, organic debris, and chlorine taste.
- Each filter treats up 380L (depending on water quality).
- Pristine Water Treatment may also be added to the water for treatment against bacteria and viruses.

Filter type
Water can be treated using various types of filters, chemicals or non-chemical purification methods, or a combination. Filters on their own will not remove viruses as they are too small. |

Cartridge life
The life of the filter cartridge is based on the quantity of water you can treat before the cartridge is no longer effective. This does not apply to battery operated or chemical filter systems. |
