Hydro Flask, the makers of double wall, vacuum insulated water bottles, has launched a new portable filtration system at the Outdoor Retailer 2011 Winter Market to promote clean water on-the-go. The Hydro Flask Filtration System uses new technology that will filter water from any tap so you can drink fresh, healthy water wherever you are.
Hydro Flask says this filtration system is really only meant for free-flowing water, such as streams or your buddy’s garden hose, but not stagnant water from lakes or ponds. However, the company says they are working on a similar water bottle filtration system to also get rid of sediment from stagnant water, which would be awesome for multi day backpacking trips.
The Hydro Flask Filtration System is connected to an internal straw and simply screws on at the bottom. The whole thing is attached to a newly designed lid with a sports cap for easy drinking. Plus, if you don’t need to clean your water, the filter simply screws off and you can use the straw alone.
The Hydro Flask Filtration System will run you $24.99 MSRP and is only compatible with the standard mouth, 21 oz. bottles.
Those standard mouth bottles are killer as well. I’ve been using one for the past few months and it has been perfect for keeping my water cold all day while at work. Hot liquids also stay hot as the bottle has doubled as a hot chocolate and coffee dispensary during cold backcountry ski tours.
The 21 oz. Standard Mouth Hydro Flask is $25.99 MSRP.
Another cool thing about Hydro Flask, is that they give 5% of their gross revenue to a charity chosen by you. It’s called FivePercentBack.org and gives everyone another incentive to check out Hydro Flask and all their high-quality bottles.

I love the Hyrdoflask! I personally never have to use a filtration system, but i think it is a great idea that they launched it for people who do! If you need to drink clean water that is not right at your fingertips, then this is a great idea, especially if you are going camping. Any product made by Hydroflask is guaranteed to be a fantastic product.
Thanks for the info!
