About Platypus GravityWorks Filter Cartridge Grey
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
75% praised for its long-lasting durability, while 25% experienced a shorter lifespan
I love this system and would definitely buy another one if it goes bad. I also recommend the actual filter system from Platypus if someone doesn't want to make their own.
I was disappointed when the filter failed after using it for ten liters of stream water in the backcountry.
I have had the filter clog numerous times and have received a replacement from Cascade Designs.
After filtering approximately 10 gallons of water, the filter clogged up.

This filter is easy to use and solves the problem of pumping water through a filter pump. It flows fast, filters well, is easy to clean, and can fill the hydration bladder without taking it out of the pack.

77% appreciated its effectiveness, but 23% questioned its effectiveness
I was disappointed when the filter failed after filtering 10 liters of stream water in the backcountry.
I have had the filter clog numerous times and have received a replacement from Cascade Designs.
88% praised for its fast water flow rate, while 12% found it slow
After washing the filter with clean water, it magically flows at high speed again.
After back-flushing with a 50ml syringe, filtration was great and rapid for the entire two-week trip.
I was upset with the slow flow rate of the filter after a few days in the woods and didn't realize that I had to clean it often. However, after washing it with clean water, it magically flowed at high speed again.
If the filtered water has sediment, it clogs easily and will no longer allow water to flow freely through the filter.

76% liked its lightweight and compact design, but 24% found it bulky
This filter is compact, light, requires no pumping, and is gravity fed. It fills a liter bag in less than 2 minutes.
I can fill my hydration bladder with the filter without taking it out of the pack, making it portable.
I was disappointed with the product's price and the inconvenience of being far away from civilization when it failed.
75% liked its ability to filter large quantities of water, while 25% found it limited
I am dissatisfied with the filter's longevity, it should have lasted longer considering its expensive price tag.
