Review on ๐Ÿšฐ Optimized HydroBlu Versa Flow Water Filter System Package by Jeremy Carpenter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but needs improvement in a few areas

Worked reasonably well on a 4 day 52 mile hike but has some improvements. The pouches provided are useless, I had to buy a 2 liter CNOC Vector bottle which worked great. The filter didn't fit 28mm smart water bottles perfectly, causing water to drip when you try to use them. So I don't recommend using it with a dirty smart water bottle. However, the CNOC thread was great and I had no issues with leaks. Flow rate was ok, a few other guys had a Katadyn Be Free and had much better flow throughout the trip by filling from the same water sources. The Katadyn bottle is also standard and has a wide opening, which makes filling much easier and completely dispenses with CNOC. I would recommend Katadyn if you compare them.

Pros
  • Hydration and filtration
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
