10 min read
Introduction
"7-in-1" sounds like marketing hype. But when you open the Outdoor Wasserfilter package, you realize it's accurate. Seven distinct components, each serving a critical purpose. Each included in one package.
This article breaks down each component, explains why it's included, and shows how they work together to create a complete water filtration system.
Component 1: The Main Filter Unit
Purpose: Core water filtration
What It Is: The heart of the system. A multi-stage filter with activated carbon, PP filter media, and membrane technology.
Why It Matters: This is what removes contaminants. The multi-stage design ensures comprehensive filtration. Bacteria, parasites, sediment, and odors are all removed.
How to Use: Fill the upper chamber with untreated water. Gravity pulls water through the filter stages. Clean water emerges from the lower chamber.
Lifespan: 8000 liters (approximately 2-5 years for regular users )
Maintenance: Rinse occasionally. No special cleaning needed.
Component 2: Collapsible Water Bag #1
Purpose: Collecting and storing untreated water
What It Is: A flexible, collapsible bag made from durable TPU material. Holds up to several liters.
Why It Matters: You need a way to collect water from sources. This bag is lightweight and space-efficient. When empty, it folds flat. When full, it holds water for filtration.
How to Use: Fill from streams, lakes, or other water sources. Use as the upper chamber of the filtration system.
Capacity: Approximately 5-10 liters (depending on design)
Durability: Durable TPU material withstands rough use. Won't puncture easily.
Component 3: Collapsible Water Bag #2
Purpose: Collecting and storing filtered water
What It Is: Another flexible, collapsible bag. Identical to Bag #1.
Why It Matters: You need to store filtered water for later use. This bag holds clean water for drinking, cooking, or hygiene.
How to Use: Position below the filter to collect filtered water. Carry it in your pack for water on the go.
Capacity: Approximately 5-10 liters
Advantage: Two bags mean you can filter continuously. While one bag is being filtered, you drink from the other.
Component 4: Drinking Hose
Purpose: Direct drinking from water sources or filtered containers
What It Is: A flexible hose with a filter attachment. Allows you to drink directly from water sources or filtered containers.
Why It Matters: Sometimes you want to drink directly without collecting water first. The hose lets you do this. The integrated filter provides additional protection.
How to Use: Insert the hose into a water source. Suck gently to drink. Or use it to drink from filtered water containers.
Length: Approximately 90cm (long enough to reach water sources without bending)
Material: Durable, flexible tubing. Won't kink or crack.
Component 5: Spray Bottle
Purpose: Hygiene and cleaning
What It Is: A small spray bottle for dispensing filtered water.
Why It Matters: Clean water is useful for more than drinking. You need it for washing hands, cleaning wounds, and hygiene. The spray bottle dispenses water efficiently.
How to Use: Fill with filtered water. Use for hand washing, wound cleaning, or general hygiene.
Component 6: MOLLE Tactical Pouch
Purpose: Secure carrying and organization
What It Is: A tactical pouch with MOLLE attachment system. Designed to attach to backpacks or tactical gear.
Why It Matters: You need a way to carry the filter securely. The tactical pouch protects the filter from damage. MOLLE attachment means it works with any tactical gear.
How to Use: Place the filter inside. Attach to your backpack using MOLLE straps. The pouch keeps everything organized and protected.
Material: Durable nylon with reinforced stitching
Advantage: MOLLE compatibility means it works with military-style backpacks and tactical gear.
Component 7: Carrying Case
Purpose: Protection and storage
What It Is: A protective case for the complete kit. Keeps everything organized and protected.
Why It Matters: When you're not using the filter, it needs protection. The case prevents damage and keeps components together.
How to Use: Store the complete kit in the case when not in use. Carry the case when traveling.
Material: Durable plastic or nylon
Advantage: Everything stays organized. You don't lose components.
