Key Specifications & Features

How the 3-Stage Filtration Works

1. PP Pre-Screen

The first stage is a polypropylene mesh screen that blocks large particles like sand, silt, and sediment. This protects the finer filters downstream and ensures smooth flow.

2. 0.1 μm UF Membrane

The ultrafiltration membrane has pores measuring 0.1 microns, trapping bacteria (e.g., E. coli), protozoa (e.g., Giardia), and suspended solids. Harmful microorganisms can’t pass through, giving you microbiologically safe water. ❌

3. Carbon Fiber Block

The final stage polishes taste and odor by adsorbing chlorine, organic compounds, and improving flavor. Your filtered water tastes clean and refreshing—no plastic or bleach aftertaste!

Versatile Connection Options

• Straw Mode: Drink directly from a water source by using the filter as a straw.
• Bottle Mode: Screw onto any standard 28 mm water bottle for hands-free filtering.
• Bladder Mode: Attach to hydration packs using the included quick-connect adapter.
• Backflushable: Reverse water flow with a bottle to flush out trapped particles and maintain flow rate.

Real-World Use Cases ️

• Hiking & Backpacking: Lightweight design keeps your pack weight down while ensuring safe hydration on multi-day treks.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Q: How often should I replace the filter cartridges?

A: Replace the PP and UF membranes every 5,000 L (or annually if unused) and the carbon block every 1,000 L for optimal performance. Monitor flow rate: if it slows significantly, it’s time to backflush or replace.

Q: Can it remove viruses?

A: The L605’s 0.1 μm UF membrane effectively removes bacteria and protozoa but not viruses (<0.1 μm). For viral protection, use purification tablets or UV treatment in conjunction. ⚠️

Q: How do I backflush the filter?

A: Screw a water bottle upside-down onto the outlet thread, fill with clean water, and squeeze. This reverses flow through the membranes, clearing debris and restoring flow. Perform after heavy use or when flow slows.

Q: Is the filter BPA-free and safe? ✅

A: Yes. All components are BPA-free, food-grade materials compliant with FDA and CE standards, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into your water.

Q: What is the flow rate under real conditions?

A: Typically 300–500 mL/min with clear source water. Turbid water may reduce flow; backflush regularly to maintain speed.

Tips for Maximizing Filter Life & Performance

• Pre-Filter Water: Pour water through a bandana or coffee filter first in very muddy conditions.
• Regular Backflush: Backflush after each use or when flow rate decreases noticeably.
• ️ Dry Thoroughly: Disassemble and air-dry all parts before storage to prevent mold.
• Avoid Freezing: Do not store the filter in sub-freezing temperatures when wet—freeze expansion can damage membranes.
• ️ Store Properly: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Replace cartridges on schedule.
