Review on 💧 Stay Hydrated Anywhere with RapidPure Scout Inline Water Purifier System for Hydration Packs! by Logan Broadnax

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Noticeable improvement, time will tell

RapidPure produced this in-line filter as well as the filter bottle, just the top of the filter bottle and the filter section and the "straw" which looks like the filter section only Filter bottle with longer straw . ADVANTAGES: 1. Frost resistant; 2. will provide a replacement filter element at a reasonable cost; and 3. Effective against viruses for a limited time/volume of water; 4. Cannot clog as easily as other conventional filters. NEGATIVES: 1. Doesn't currently offer a threaded "bottle cap" solution like more traditional filters - a definite marketing flaw; 2. Virus protection indefinitely / volume. BEST USE: 1. Travel Bottle is a great solution for vacations to places with questionable water. Changing the filter before the next trip is a cheap and easy insurance. 2. The bottle filter assembly fits both 1 liter and 700ml Nalgene bottles (I made them) so this product breathes new life into those sitting around for the same purposes as a vacation bottle filter and day trips. 3. An inline filter can be connected between the hydration bladder and the bite valve as intended. Here, too, changing the filter is economical and easy. The built-in filter can also be connected with or without a pre-filter for gravity filtration and can be connected to any number of bottles via adapters and caps, although this is a bit of a fiddly setup compared to a traditional screw connection. Filter. 4. The 'straw' appears to be too 'open' compared to the 'straw filter' products available, all of which are intended for emergency use, not for use as a 'spare filter element' - I would decline that offer. HydraPak 2L or CNOC 2L soft water collection bottle, use with female valve cap, this built in filter and bite valve tubing cut. TIME WILL TELL: how long/how much water the RapidPure will continue to filter y whether pre-filtration (e.g. coffee paper filters) will help to extend the service life/flow rate.
