Application and Care

Before first use, rinse the filter once completely with clear water and discard the water. For use, fill the outer container with water and then slowly press the inner bottle containing the filter into it. This forces the water through the filter into the inner bottle, where it can be drunk immediately. After use, perform 2–3 pressing cycles without water to push any remaining moisture out of the filter with the air. Then, separate the filter element from the other components and let it dry completely in the open. Use only fresh water, do not filter water above 40 °C, and protect the filter from frost.

Why switch

Two filter stages. Two operating principles.

The Selfpress combines two different filtration technologies. The hollow fiber membrane with a pore size of 0.2 µm mechanically retains bacteria, protozoa, microplastics, and particles. It is complemented by an activated carbon block, whose large internal surface area adsorbs specific dissolved substances. This reduces, among other things, chlorine as well as odor- and taste-impairing substances. In this way, mechanical filtration and activated carbon adsorption complement each other in a two-stage filter system.

  • Membrane filter0.2 µm hollow fiber membrane. Anything larger is trapped.
  • Activated carbonRemoves chlorine and improves taste
  • Capacity1,500 liters with Selfpress, up to 500 liters with Squeeze.

Which filter element do you need?

Your filter over time.

  1. After each tour Allow to air dry

    Press air through the filter 2–3 times to push out any remaining moisture inside. Then remove the filter, leave it open to dry completely, and store it separately from the other components.

  2. Up to 1500 liters More power, less flow

    The maximum filter capacity is 1,500 liters. The actual service life depends on the quality of the water being filtered.

  3. Flow blocked The change signal

    With continuous use, the membrane pores gradually become clogged, causing the flow rate to decrease over time. Once water can no longer be pushed through the filter, it is time to replace the filter element.

  4. Storage Best before at least 2 years

    When stored correctly, the filter element has a shelf life of at least 2 years. After use and subsequent storage, it is important to dry the filter element completely and promptly.

Capacity and Storage according to the Instruction Manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why change at all?

A water filter is a consumable product: with every liter filtered, impurities accumulate in the filter material. Over time, this becomes noticeable through a decrease in filter performance – a clear sign that the filter element should be replaced.

How do I know when the filter needs to be changed?

With the Selfpress, you will know that a filter change is due when the filtering process requires significantly more force than usual. How quickly this point is reached depends on the water quality: the cloudier the water being filtered, the sooner the filter may become clogged.

Which element fits my device?

For the Selfpress 500 ml: Replacement filter. For the Selfpress XL 800 ml: Replacement filter XL. For the Squeeze 500 ml and 1 liter: Squeeze replacement filter. There is no replacement filter element for the Straw.

How long does a filter element last?

The Selfpress XL filter element lasts for 1,500 liters; for the Selfpress 800 ml, that is approximately 2,000 uses.

Is the bottle or the pouch included?

No. This is a replacement filter element, not a complete water filter. Bottle or pouch are not included.

How long can I store a filter as a spare?

The Selfpress XL filter element has a shelf life of 2 years when stored optimally.

Can I use soap or vinegar essence for cleaning?

No. Do not use soap or vinegar essence to clean the filter element. These can permanently damage the filter. Clean water is sufficient.

Where can I find the lab results?
