Grayl

System très efficace. Je travaille dans le bois. Et c’est le system que j’utilise quand je prend l’eau de n’importe quelle rivière.

Super service rapide

Rapide et efficace ! Un excellent produit sur lequel vous pourrez toujours compter pour une eau potable de qualité, partout ! Bravo.

I bought this for a two week trip to Morocco, where you can't drink any of the tap water (not even for brushing teeth). Reader, I drank the tap water, filtered through the Grayl Geopress, and I had no problems whatsoever. During some hostel stays, most other travellers had to perpetually stop and buy bottled water at the local stores. They kept 4-litre bottles of water in our shared room. They had to take plastic bottles everywhere with them. Some filled up other water bottles from the plastic ones. It was very convenient simply to fill up and press my Grayl. I could easily fill up from a tap, hose, or other source. A few things to note. First, I used to use a LifeStraw, but I found that it was quite difficult to suck through the filter. As the filter aged, it became harder and harder to draw water through the straw. Moreover, the LifeStraw did not live up to its advertised number of litres filtered. It promised (more than the Grayl), but it did not deliver. Second, the Grayl is honest about how much it can filter. It says about 300 presses, which is not very many when compared to other brands out there. That's only about 210 litres of filtered water. Some brands promise much more than this, and they may actually deliver (I haven't compared, except to the LifeStraw, which fell short of expectations--but it likely did more than 200 litres). However, in my Moroccan experience, if you drink/use an estimated 2 litres per day, you'll get 100 days out of your filter. Where I live, replacement filters can run $35-50 (CAD). If I get 3 months out of a filter for $40, I'm looking at just over $13 per month of daily use. That's cheaper than buying bottled water. Plus, you don't create all that plastic waste. Third, the Grayl is a little bit on the heavy side, and I think this is a fair criticism. If you are a back country traveller where weight is very important, the Grayl may be too heavy for you. My travelling is mostly in urban areas with dodgy water, so I find the Grayl to be perfect for my uses. Plus, the Grayl filter is finer than the others on the market, promising to remove heavy metals like lead. This is a key selling feature for me. If I'm travelling in a country with terrible tap water, I am happy to pay the extra money and carry the extra weight in order to protect myself from heavy metals and microplastics. It's a million times better than getting sick from some bacterial gut problem. The last thing I'd want to contend with is a multi-day illness from bad water on a short two-week trip. $35 for a new filter is justifiable for me. Needless to say, I'm really impressed with the simple fact that I could drink Moroccan tap water for two weeks with no ill-effects. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great price, prompt delivery.
