- Compact silicone bulb pump is easy to use and only requires 1 hand.
- Long hose keeps you out of the dirt, when drinking from the source.
- Hollow-fibre filtration system is easy to clean, and pumps with little resistance.
- Water quality will significantly affect the filter's life.
- Filter mouthpiece has a debris cover to keep things clean.
- Filter cleans with an easy shake.
