    Membrane Solutions filter details

  • Portable Design: 32oz oz durable bottle that fits easily in backpacks, cup holders, and side pockets.

  • Filter Life: Up to 132 gallons (4-6 months) with the ACF filter or 1057 gallons (1 year) with the UF filter, depending on water quality.

  • Versatile Use: Ideal for hiking, camping, backpacking, and international travel where clean water sources may be unreliable.

  • Easy And Simple To Use: Unscrew the lid, fill up the bottle, screw the lid on, and drink filtered water. (if using with a new filter let the filter soak for 1-2 min before using) Also, with a brand new filter, don't drink the first 2 sips.



Pros

  • ✅ Effective Filtration

  • ✅ User-Friendly: Drink directly from the bottle using the straw.

  • ✅ Cost-Effective: Affordable alternative to other brand-name filters with similar performance specs.

  • ✅ Eco-Friendly: Reduces the need for single-use plastic water bottles.

  •  ✅ Replacement Filter Included: Comes with 2 filters

  • ✅ Stainless Steel or BPA Free Plastic Bottle Options

  • ✅ Easy To Clean: Removable spout for cleaning, dishwasher safe (except for the filter)


Cons

  • ❌ Flow Rate: Some users may find the suction effort a bit strenuous compared to non-filter bottles.

  • ❌ Only Filters Water Through The Straw: Can only be used to drink out of, you can't pour filtered water out of the bottle for other uses (like cooking while on trail) So you would need a second filtration device if backpacking.

Performance in the Field

During multiple hikes, the bottle performed reliably, filtering stream & river water without any aftertaste. The wide mouth of the bottle makes it easy to fill from any water source. The bottle tends to keep the water cooler than ambient temperature making it refreshing to drink. The twist top helps keep the straw clean and separated from the elements and also screws on tight. The bottle does not leak, even if upside down when the top is screwed on. The bottle and filter are very easy and simple to set up and use, and you can switch out the filters with different filter abilities depending on your water filtration needs.


I left the water bottle in my truck on a hot sunny day for 2 hrs, the inside of the truck was very warm, and the water was still cool inside the bottle and was refreshing to drink. (I'm using the stainless steel version of the bottle)


Ideal For

  • Hikers and backpackers

  • International travelers

  • College students or city dwellers concerned about tap water



Final Verdict

The Membrane Solutions Water Bottle Filter offers an excellent balance of portability, filtration performance, and price. While it's not perfect for high-demand or group scenarios, it's a smart choice for travelers and outdoor use while hiking or camping. With regular maintenance, it can be a dependable and affordable water filtration option in various environments.
