HydraTrail filtration system

Clean water.
Built into every run.

A compact 0.1 micron membrane filter sits inside the flask, with an activated carbon attachment available to help improve taste and odour when the trail takes you beyond the tap.

How it works

Fill. Filter. Keep moving.

The system is integrated into the flask, so there is no separate pump or bulky bottle to carry. Water is pushed through the filter as you squeeze and drink.

01

Fill the flask

Use a trusted tap or the clearest available fresh-water source. Avoid stagnant, salty or visibly polluted water.

02

Squeeze to filter

The flask pressure moves water through the internal membrane as you drink through the nozzle.

03

Capture particles

The 0.1 micron membrane is designed to reduce bacteria, protozoa, sediment, turbidity and microplastics.

04

Refine taste

Add the activated carbon attachment when you want extra help with unpleasant taste and odour.

Trail or tap

Not only for remote water.

A filtered soft flask earns its place on city routes too. Refill at public taps, reduce reliance on disposable bottles, and keep one familiar hydration setup from weekday training to long trail days.

City runs

Confidence at the refill point

Fill from a suitable public tap and drink through the same integrated system. It is a useful extra layer for runners moving between parks, fountains and unfamiliar refill stations.

Stream sources

Where carbon comes into its own

Natural water can carry earthy, organic or stale flavours even after physical filtration. The activated carbon attachment helps reduce those taste and odour compounds, making it especially useful when refilling from a suitable flowing stream.

The system, separated

Two stages. Two different jobs.

01

Activated carbon attachment

The removable upper stage is focused on taste and odour. It complements the membrane; it does not replace it and does not make chemically contaminated water safe.

02

Membrane filter cartridge

A polysulfone membrane sits inside a food-grade ABS housing. The specified pore size is 0.1 micron, forming the main physical filtration stage.

Care and longevity

Look after the flow.

Filter life depends on water quality and maintenance. Cleaner source water and regular rinsing help the cartridge keep flowing for longer.

Before first use

Rinse and prime

Rinse the filter thoroughly with clean water before drinking. Follow the instructions supplied with the product for first-use preparation.

After each run

Rinse 2–3 times

Flush with clean water, invert the cartridge and leave it in a ventilated place to air dry fully.

When flow slows

Backwash sediment

Use the backwash function to move clean water in the reverse direction and release trapped particles.

For mineral scale

Short vinegar soak

Soak the wet filter in white vinegar for 3–5 minutes, rinse three times with clean water, then air dry.

Important limits

Choose the source carefully.

  • Do not use with seawater or brackish water.
  • It does not remove dissolved salts, radioactive substances or every chemical contaminant.
  • Do not allow the filter to freeze.
  • Do not clean it in a dishwasher or microwave, or expose it to high heat.
  • When contamination is suspected, do not rely on filtration alone.
