Anwendung und Pflege

Vor dem ersten Gebrauch den Filter einmal vollständig mit klarem Wasser durchspülen und das Wasser verwerfen. Zur Anwendung den äußeren Behälter mit Wasser befüllen und anschließend die innere Flasche samt Filter langsam hineindrücken. Dadurch wird das Wasser durch den Filter in die innere Flasche gepresst und kann direkt getrunken werden. Nach dem Gebrauch 2–3 Pressvorgänge ohne Wasser durchführen, damit verbliebene Feuchtigkeit durch die Luft aus dem Filter gedrückt wird. Anschließend das Filterelement von den übrigen Komponenten trennen und offen vollständig trocknen lassen. Nur Süßwasser verwenden, kein Wasser über 40 °C filtern und den Filter vor Frost schütze

You can't see whether a filter works. An independent lab has tested it.

We did not measure the filter performance ourselves, but had it tested by an independent laboratory. Afterwards, no viable bacteria were detectable in the filtered water.

Scoop. Press. Drink.

  • Fill

    Pour water into the outer cup up to the fill line.

  • Insert

    Place the inner cup with the filter element. The drinking flap remains open.

  • Presses

    Press down slowly and evenly. With both hands, without haste.

  • Drink

    Done, in under 10 seconds. Right from the bottle.

Here's how it works

Two stages. One sifts, one clarifies.

You push the water through a hollow fiber membrane with a 0.2 µm pore size. Its pores are smaller than bacteria and protozoa: what's too big gets caught. Behind it, an activated carbon stage removes chlorine and taste. What remains is water that tastes like water.

Which Bach gold for which task?

Honestly: only Squeeze and Straw filter viruses; they work in two stages with electroadsorption. The Selfpress is the most convenient bottle in the range; for virus risk, add the Squeeze.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes the Selfpress from other water filters?

Thanks to the practical all-in-one solution of the Bachgold® Outdoor Water Filter, no external hoses or cumbersome components are needed to filter the water. You get filtered water within seconds and can drink it directly from the bottle.

How long does the filter element last with regular use?

The filter capacity is 1,500 liters for both sizes. For the Selfpress 500 ml, this corresponds to approximately 2,500 application cycles before the filter element needs to be changed. Manufacturer's information according to the operating instructions.

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

You can tell because the filtering process can only be carried out with significantly more effort.

How long does the filter element last when not in use?

With optimal storage, the filter element is durable for at least 2 years. While the hollow fiber membrane potentially has an almost unlimited shelf life, the activated carbon filter loses some of its effectiveness over time. The filter can still be used afterwards, but a reduced filter performance must be expected.

What do I do if water overflows while filtering?

Ensure that the water does not exceed the fill line of the outer container and that there is no air between the water and the filter element before starting the filtering process. Check that the sealing ring on the filter element is correctly seated, and ensure that the drinking spout remains open throughout the filtering process.

What materials is the Selfpress made of and where is it manufactured?

The Selfpress 500 ml is made of BPA-free plastics (PP and ABS), silicone, and silicone gel, while the Selfpress XL is made of polypropylene, which is also BPA-free. Designed and developed in Switzerland and manufactured by our partner in China.

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.

Which replacement filter do I need?

The matching BACHGOLD filter element, identical to the filter from your initial purchase. For the Selfpress 500 ml: Replacement Filter. For the Selfpress XL: Replacement Filter XL.

Does the Selfpress also filter viruses?

No. The Selfpress works with hollow fiber membrane and activated carbon, which retains bacteria and protozoa, but not viruses. If you need virus protection, for example, on long trips: The Squeeze and the Straw filter in two stages and also retain viruses. To the Squeeze

Kann ich damit auf Reisen Leitungswasser trinken?

Ja, grundsätzlich kann der Selfpress auch zur Aufbereitung von Leitungswasser auf Reisen verwendet werden. Die Hohlfasermembran hält Bakterien und Protozoen zurück, während die Aktivkohle unter anderem Chlor sowie unangenehme Geschmacks- und Geruchsstoffe reduziert. Viren werden vom Selfpress jedoch nur begrenzt reduziert. In Regionen, in denen auch eine Belastung des Leitungswassers mit Viren nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann, empfehlen wir daher unseren Squeeze. Zum Squeeze
