What the squeeze is bought for.
On long-distance journeys
Balkans, India, Southeast Asia: Where you don't trust the tap water, this will also filter out viruses. 80 g in your hand luggage.
On the hike
The reassurance in the lid compartment. You can't necessarily tell from the stream what's in it.
In the backpack
Rolled up, it's about the size of a power bank. It sits in the side pocket until your own bottle is empty.

Wasser direkt vor Ort filtern, statt zusätzliche Wasservorräte mitzuführen.
Here's how it works
Why most filters let viruses through. The Squeeze doesn't.
Almost every water filter sifts. A sieve only retains what is too large to pass through. Viruses are too small, up to eight times smaller than the pores. They pass through as if no filter were present. The Squeeze therefore has two barriers instead of one. The first binds: electrically charged fibers attract and hold viruses, even if they would long since pass through any pore. Not trapping, but attracting, which is why size doesn't matter. The second stage sifts: a hollow fiber membrane with 0.2 µm retains bacteria, protozoa, microplastics, and particles.

After every use Dry, do not pack away
Squeeze out residual moisture or blow air through, then let air dry. Only pack it once it's dry again.
-
Up to 500 liters The maximum value, not the rule
Up to 500 liters under optimal conditions. The cloudier the water, the sooner the filter clogs.
-
If hardly any water is getting through Change filter element, retain bag
Hardly any flow despite cleaning and an intact bag? Then it has reached its capacity. You only replace the filter element, the bag remains. The replacement filter element fits 500 ml and 1 liter.

Lagerung Mindestens 2 Jahre haltbar
Bei richtiger Lagerung ist das Filterelement mindestens 2 Jahre haltbar. Bei Benutzung und anschließender Lagerung ist es wichtig, das Filterelement zeitnah und vollständig zu trocknen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Squeeze really filter viruses?
Yes. The Squeeze works in two stages: Electrically charged fibers bind viruses, instead of just straining them. Afterwards, a hollow fiber membrane with 0.2 µm retains bacteria and protozoa. Independently, the filter performance has been tested by an independent laboratory, with Log 8 against E. coli. To the lab test
Kann ich damit auf Reisen Leitungswasser trinken?
Ja, der Squeeze eignet sich grundsätzlich auch zur Aufbereitung von Leitungswasser auf Reisen. Sein zweistufiges Filtersystem hält unter anderem Bakterien und Viren zurück. Dennoch sollte die Qualität der Wasserquelle immer berücksichtigt werden: Nicht alle möglichen Verunreinigungen können durch einen mobilen Wasserfilter entfernt werden. Insbesondere bei einer möglichen hohen Belastung durch Chemikalien, Schwermetalle oder andere gelöste Stoffe sollte das Wasser nicht allein durch den Squeeze als sicher angesehen werden. Wir empfehlen daher, nach Möglichkeit immer eine möglichst unbelastete Wasserquelle zu wählen.
How soon can I drink with it?
Approximately 0.2 liters per minute. You squeeze or suck through the filter with every sip. The Squeeze is designed for sips on the go, not for drinking a liter at once. If you want to drink freely: The Selfpress squeezes once and then releases the water. To the Selfpress
How long does the filter element last?
Up to 500 liters. This is the maximum value under optimal conditions: The cloudier or more contaminated the water, the faster the filter clogs. You'll know it's the end when hardly any water passes through, despite cleaning.
Is there a replacement filter?
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 like nitrates and salt. Therefore: only use fresh water and avoid bodies of water that are close to shipping traffic, sewage treatment plants or intensive agriculture. Flowing waters are preferable to standing waters; the more remote, the better. That we tell you this is part of our product.
Where are the lab results?
Independent lab testing is published on our lab page. To Lab Testing
