Portable water filter

What are portable water filters?

Portable water filters are compact devices that remove contaminants from untreated water, making it safe to drink wherever you are. They come in different forms: from simple straws that you drink through directly, to hand pumps and press filters that quickly and easily produce clean water.

What all these filters have in common is an extremely fine filtration that removes harmful substances. AQUA Logic uses advanced technologies such as hollow-fiber ultramembranes (removing nano- and microplastics from 0.03 micron) and activated carbon. This achieves at least 99.9999% removal of bacteria (LOG 6 reduction), meeting or even exceeding WHO standards for safe drinking water.

Different models use different techniques. Some portable filters work with gravity: you fill a reservoir and the water automatically flows through the filter elements. Other systems use a hand pump for fast filtration. The most user-friendly solution is the Survival Press: a press bottle that produces clean drinking water in just seconds by simply pressing down the filter unit.

In short: a portable water filter is a miniature purification system that fits in your backpack and provides safe drinking water wherever you go.

Why do you need a portable water filter?

Water from natural sources – or even tap water in some countries – can contain invisible risks such as bacteria, parasites, microplastics and chemical pollutants. Drinking directly from a stream, lake or unsafe tap can cause serious illness. Using a portable filter prevents these contaminants from entering your drinking water and keeps you safely hydrated.

Our filters also include an activated carbon stage that improves taste and absorbs unwanted substances such as chlorine, odors and heavy metals (e.g. lead). All this happens without electricity or chemicals – the filters work purely physically.

Who are portable water filters for?

Our outdoor water filters are ideal for:

• Backpackers and hikers on multi-day trips

How does a portable water filter work?

The Survival Press is a great example of how simple a portable filter can be. This system combines a powerful ultramembrane (0.01–0.03 µm) with activated carbon. Simply fill the outer bottle with river, lake or tap water and press down the inner bottle. Within seconds you have clean drinking water – without batteries or chemicals.
