Hey guys, it's Lauren from Snowys here.
I have with me today
the Grayl Ultralight Compact Water Purifier.
It's a filter, purifier and water bottle all-in-one,
which is excellent for lightweight adventures,
where you don't wanna carry your water with you
the whole time.
So, in the box, this is what we'll grab,
our water bottle here.
And then you also get this nifty little instruction manual
which runs you through all the different components
and best way to utilise your bottle.
The water bottle weighs about 300 grammes.
It's packed size is about 24 1/2 centimetres tall
by just over 7 centimetres in diameter.
The bottle also holds up to 473 ml.
Now, the materials is a polypropylene, a food grade silicon,
also food grade plastic, as well as being BPA free.
So, there's a couple of different components to the bottle.
The first one is the main body here.
The second one here is your plunging section,
and this is actually where your filtered water goes
that you'll drink through.
So, if we unscrew the lid there,
you can see down in towards the filter.
And then, at the base here
we've also got our filter section.
Now this little tab here is the lock in tab for the filter.
We're just simply gonna pull that one out,
and then we can unscrew that here,
or have a little bit of a look.
There we go.
So there's all the different components
of your water bottle.
Now, the most important component of the water bottle
is your filter here.
It uses electro absorption, activated carbon
and silver treated zeolites.
It's good for around about 300 cycles,
which is approximately equivalent to 150 litres,
and filter replacements are readily available.
Now the actual process of using your water bottle
is similar to how you would use a coffee plunger almost.
So, just make sure that filter's locked back in place.
Now the body of your water bottle here
is where the unfiltered water is going to go.
On the back of the bottle you'll have your fill line,
so whether it's a waterfall, river, or stored bore water
that you've got, you're filling it up until this line here.
And then you're popping in your filter cartridge
and your insert into the bottle like so.
Now the base of the bottle's
also got this silicon grip here.
So whatever surface you're on,
it should stay in place fairly well.
The lid then goes on the top here.
You're screwing it tight
and then you're gonna do a half a turn back
to make sure that air can be released from the top
as you're plunging it down.
Now similarly to the coffee plunger I mentioned before,
you will feel a bit of resistance here,
because all that water is getting pushed through the filter
purely by force is how this filtration works.
It will take approximately 15 seconds to filter through
that full 473 ml in the bottle,
and it does remove protozoa, bacteria, viruses.
It even filters out particulates such as chemical residues
or heavy metals.
So once you're filter's done,
you just push it all the way.
Make sure the seal of this silicon rim
and the top of the outer bottle is connected.
And then you can just unscrew the lid,
and drink you're filtered water from the middle.
And, that is how easy it is
to have filtered, purified water on the go.
Now we get a lot of questions about these,
and the three top ones are,
can I use this as an everyday drink bottle?
Yes you can.
You just need to remove that filter component at the bottom,
and then you can fill it up with your safe tap water,
drinking water, purified water from home and away you go.
The other question is hot liquids.
You can only use the unit
with up to 50 degrees centigrade water.
So, it would need to be lukewarm at best.
And, the third most common question we get is,
can it be used with salt water?
And the answer is unfortunately no, it won't work
with purifying salt water for you.
