Before first use, flush the filter completely once with clear water and discard the water. To use, fill the squeeze bag with water, screw on the filter and lid, and squeeze the bag with both hands to press the water through the filter. After use, press air through the filter to push out any remaining moisture. Then, remove the filter element and allow it to dry completely in the open. Use only fresh water, do not filter water above 40 °C, and protect the filter from frost.

Here's how it works
Two filter stages. Two operating principles.
The Squeeze combines two different filtration technologies. The hollow fiber membrane with a pore size of 0.2 µm mechanically retains bacteria, protozoa, microplastics, and particles. An electro-adsorptive filter fleece is used to bind particularly small contaminants. Its fibers carry a positive surface charge, which allows them to bind even very small, negatively charged contaminants such as viruses to their surface. In this way, mechanical filtration and electro-adsorption complement each other in a two-stage filter system.

Your filter over time.
-
After every use Dry promptly.
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.
-
Up to 500 liters Maximum capacity.
The maximum filter capacity is 500 liters. The actual service life depends on the quality of the filtered water.
-
Flow blocked. Replace filter.
If water can no longer be pushed through the filter, it is time to replace the filter element. The Squeeze replacement filter fits 500 ml and 1 liter bottles.
-
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.

Which stream gold for which task?
Three water filters, three ways to travel: The Selfpress combines a water filter and a drinking bottle in one convenient system. The Squeeze is particularly lightweight, compact, and easy to stow away to save space. The Straw is the minimalist solution for on-the-go use, allowing you to drink directly from a water source.

Long-haul travel refers to countries where you do not drink the tap water, such as Southeast Asia, India, or South America.
Your filter also provides water in Nepal.
1% of every order goes to Viva con Agua
You filter your own water, out at the stream or while on the go. For many families in western Nepal, clean drinking water is not something that can be taken for granted. That is why we are supporting Viva con Agua Switzerland's drinking water project: providing drinking water, toilets, and hygiene training for villages and schools.
Achieved so far in Western Nepal: 100,000 people in village communities and 21,000 schoolchildren at 105 schools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is being filtered?
The Squeeze combines two filter technologies. An electro-adsorptive filter fleece binds even very small contaminants such as viruses through its surface charge. A 0.2 µm hollow fiber membrane mechanically retains bacteria, protozoa, and particles.
Can I use this to drink tap water while traveling?
Yes, the Squeeze is generally suitable for treating tap water while traveling. Its two-stage filter system retains bacteria and viruses, among other things. However, the quality of the water source should always be taken into account: not all possible contaminants can be removed by a portable water filter. Especially in cases of potential high levels of contamination from chemicals, heavy metals, or other dissolved substances, the water should not be considered safe based solely on the Squeeze. We therefore recommend always choosing the cleanest possible water source whenever possible.
How fast can you filter?
About 0.2 liters per minute. When drinking, the water is pressed or sucked through the filter. The Squeeze is primarily designed for drinking directly while on the go. If you prefer to filter the water completely first and then drink it without additional resistance, the Selfpress is the more suitable option. To the Selfpress
How long does the filter element last with regular use?
Up to 500 liters. This is the maximum value under optimal conditions: the murkier or more contaminated the water, the faster the filter clogs.
Can the filter be replaced?
Yes. The replacement filter element fits 500 ml and 1 liter, after which the pouch will filter up to 500 liters again. To the Squeeze Replacement Filter
What is not filtered?
Dissolved substances such as nitrate and salt are not reliably removed. Therefore, only use fresh water and choose water sources with as little contamination as possible. Flowing bodies of water away from shipping traffic, sewage treatment plants, and intensive agriculture are to be preferred.
Where can I find the lab results?
