FILTRATION VS PURIFICATION

What's The Difference?
And Which Do You Need?

Not every adventure calls for the same level of protection. The biggest difference is simple: purifiers protect against viruses, while filters are designed to protect against bacteria and parasites.

Here’s how to know which one to pack.

FILTRATION

Best For The Outdoors

Think: trails, campsites + backcountry water.

For most hiking, backpacking and camping trips, bacteria and parasites are the primary biological concerns in freshwater sources like lakes, rivers and streams. A filter gives you the protection you need without adding more than you need.

Our lightweight, packable and modular outdoor system is perfect for basecamp or filtering water on the go in the backcountry.

PURIFICATION

Best When Viruses Are A Concern

Think: People upstream with uncertain sanitation,

international travel with inconsistent tap water, flooding/sewage risk + unknown water sources.

Purification protects against viruses in addition to bacteria and parasites, making it a smart choice for international travel where tap water quality may be inconsistent, flooding or sewage contamination, and other situations where the water’s history is unknown.
