Grayl Geopress Replacement Cartridge

always have an extra. especially if your filter is contaminated with bad stuff of fouled by silt, the bloodhound might fine it when you are cleaning gear.

Why is the bottle titanium but the cartridge plastic? Take that outer black plastic cartridge casing and make it into a titanium casing that opens and closes with a threaded opening. And make the inside filter medium replaceable by itself. Now you don’t have to make a new plastic casing with every cartridge, just sell the inner medium as a replacement without the casing. Let us get the titanium casing so we can buy it once and keep reusing it and washing it while switching out only the inner filter medium. This would reduce our exposure to plastics in the treated water and would also reduce your manufacturing costs and waste footprint since you don’t have to make a new casing for each cartridge. And it would make the product actually premium. There’s no reason for someone to get a titanium bottle if the cartridge used to treat the water is still plastic, might as well just get the whole bottle as plastic. And I don’t buy grayl because I want plastic. I want titanium everything. No shortcuts. I don’t appreciate cost cutting measures and I’m actively looking for another product to switch to so I can stop buying this, unless the issue is fixed and the plastic is eliminated.

I have used this filter for the Great Divide MBR New Mexico towards Banff. Initially I tested once in Scotland then used it for 8 days (8 gallons?) before the filter blocked too hard to continue using. Sales in th US kindly sent me two free replacement cartridges. I appreciate that gesture. I have used the first replacement cartridge for 11days (16 gallons) and already it takes 1min 20 seconds to press with as much body weight as I can use. Additionally now about 3/4 of the way down on the press I get a squirt of water in exactly the same spot inferring that the outer container has distorted due to water pressure. Honestly I think this is a poor design and needs a lot more development. Destined for land fill shortly in my opinion sorry. As a bonus at least I have not been ill so as a filter it works just way too slow and with no back flush hopeless.

Love the geopress. I have a geopreas titanium and use the French press for it all the time. Filled my geopress directly out of lake Victoria in Kenya, streams in Honduras and well water in Africa. Works awesome. I have never been ill since I started using it. I filter local bottled water as well. Amazing product. I go everywhere with it.

My grayl ti's are always in my pack, weather it's my 16oz for day hikes it 24oz for multi day use I know I can count on clean, safe drinkable water where ever I go. Excellent products.

I have not used it. I got the extra filter for when I need to replace mine so I do not have to wait during an emergency. I have a back up filter on hand.

I don’t like the bottles they’re too hard to take apart to refill not eco-friendly I want to return the bottles

Went on a extended trip into the wild with only the Geopress Ti for drinking water. Filtered from a muddy river with a lot of sediment without any issues. No taste to speak of. Ti version was high quality and looks to hold up for a long time.
