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

Why switch

A water filter is a consumable item.

With every litre, the filter material continues to clog. This is intentional; it's where everything that shouldn't end up in your glass gets trapped. That's why every filter element has a capacity, and that's why there's a change signal. Technically, an exhausted filter continues to operate, but with decreasing performance, and eventually, hardly any water will pass through. For a product whose results you cannot see, timely replacement is the most cost-effective safety gain available.

  • Change Signal SelfpressThe filtering process requires significantly more force than usual. This is not a defect.
  • Alternating signal SqueezeDespite cleaning and an intact bag, hardly any water is passing through.
  • Capacity1,500 liters with the Selfpress, up to 500 liters with the Squeeze.

Which filter element do you need?

Your filter over time.

  1. In use Allow to air dry

    Remove after use and allow to air dry. Clean with clean water only, no soap, no vinegar essence.

  2. The change signal More power, less flow

    More force required for the self-press, sluggish flow during the squeeze. This is not a defect, but a signal.

  3. In stock Best before at least 2 years

    The Selfpress filter element has a shelf life of at least 2 years with optimal storage. Those who plan for all eventualities not only store the device, but also the consumables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why switch at all?

A water filter is a consumable product: with every liter, the filter material becomes more clogged. This is by design, as everything that shouldn't end up in your glass gets trapped there. That's why every filter element has a capacity, and that's why there's a replacement signal: more effort required for the Selfpress, sluggish flow for the Squeeze.

Can I use the old filter longer?

Technically it continues to run, but with decreasing performance, and at some point hardly any water passes through. For a product whose results you cannot see, timely replacement is the most cost-effective safety gain there is.

How do I know the filter needs replacing?

With the Selfpress, remember that the filtering process requires significantly more force than usual. With the Squeeze, remember that despite cleaning and an intact bag, hardly any water passes through. The murkier the water you are filtering, the sooner.

Sagt mir der Geschmack, ob der Filter durch ist?

Nein. Geschmack und Trübung sagen etwas über das Wasser, nichts über den Filter. Das Signal ist die Kraft beim Selfpress und der Durchfluss beim Squeeze: Wenn du die Flasche kaum noch runtergedrückt bekommst oder trotz Reinigung kaum noch Wasser durch den Beutel geht, ist das Element voll. Dann kommt der Wechselfilter.

Which item 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 filter element lasts for 1,500 liters, which is approximately 2,500 uses with the 500 ml Selfpress. The Squeeze filter element lasts for up to 500 liters, which is the maximum value under optimal conditions.

Is the bottle or the pouch included?

No. This is a replacement filter element, not a complete water filter. The bottle or pouch is not included.

How long can I store a filter for?

When stored optimally, the Selfpress filter element has a shelf life of 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 reduced filter performance must be expected.

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 are the lab results?

Independent lab testing is published on our lab page. To Lab Test
