GRAYL Geopress 24 oz Water Purifier for Global Travel, Backpacking, Hiking, and Survival

I bought the Grayl Geopress Purifier from Amazon. I read the reviews from other customers and like what I read. When I received it I had trouble trying to filter the water through the filter part instead it was coming out between the containers as I put pressure down. I was disappointed, so I reread the instructions and tried several times. I'm 70 years old, thought I was going to have to return this but I kept trying. First I read others who had this problem of leakage, but I found that after I remove the filter, check it for any damages, God forbid since its made in USA, didn't see any. So tried again, this time made sure the filter was put in correctly,( I assume I didn't do that right the other times), and urea. It was working as I took my time to allow the water filter through the filter. You must make sure your filter is turn completely til you feel a click in. I use a rubber gripper to help me. I'm not that strong to twist things on and off. I hope this helps others. Btw I'm buying another.😉

I am not the person to write reviews but I wanted everyone to know, What an epic failure this product was! Failed me on the first day of a ten day Egypt trip. The water bypassed the filter and poured out the sides, vent or the whole lid removed. Ending up spending lot of money having to buy water wherever I could and the inconvenience of lugging big bottles! Do not buy buy unless you want to be left stranded without water!UPDATE *** Thanks GRAYL! Please keep sending those SNIDE emails to me because you got a poor review!

Amazing. Still got explosive 8 day diarrhea from Vietnam but I'm positive it was from contaminated fresh veggies cause they don't was their hands at all before they touch them. We both filled up in dirty bathroom sink water all over Southeast Asia for 2 months and were fine. But that last meal in Vietnam..... Don't eat fresh veggies!!! Cooked food only! Trust me. I'm in the hospital writing this review.

I ended up purchasing both an Ultralight and Geopress from Amazon with the intention of using the bottles on the Otter Trail Hike in South Africa from 14 November 2019 to 18 November 2019 and on future travels. The filters worked fine on day 1 and day 2 of the hike, but by the 3rd day they were almost impossible to press. By the 3rd day we had to resort to sitting on the bottles to use our full body weight to get any water through and by the 5th day the bottles were useless and we were forced to drink unfiltered water. I was excited about the Grayl products but I was so disappointed to find out that both filters failed after filtering less than 10 liters of only slightly tinted water. This is well below the claimed volume of 250L and 350L for each product. I understand that Grayl says that only the clearest water should be used to ensure that the lifespan of the filters are reached. I therefore made every effort to filter only clear water. Most of the 10L of water that we filtered was the water that the National Park recommended for drinking purposes so it was by no means dirty at all.I spent a lot of money on these products with the intention of using them on future travels and with the intention of filtering the claimed volume to make my purchase worth the money I spent. After filtering less than 10L of only slightly tinted drinkable water, I now have two completely useless bottles that I am unable to use. I have no faith in purchasing filter replacements because of my experience on the hike.I request that Grayl refunds the cost $224.49 that I have incurred as the products have severely under-performed and are now useless to me.Please see the attached images of my negative experience.

This will be my new go to travel water bottle. I’ll be section hiking the AT this month and can’t wait to get some dirty water in this. I have a Berkey water filter system at home. After what the city of Flint did to its citizens, I take no chances with mine and my families water. Grayl now covers our travel water too.Update- used this all over the Smokey Mountains. Perfectly clean water in 8-10 seconds. Love this product and think I converted some hikers.

Very expensive and not very user friendly. Concept is good but using it on regular basis gets very annoying. So difficult to fill because the two pieces are so hard to separate due to suction and no handhold. Maybe the size is too wide for women’s hands too and needs to be narrower and taller instead.

this is the best since the grayl legend.. the ultralight was a bad design and prone to contamination. thats why the grayl legend was the best until now.. i cant press it in 9 seconds though, but still a lot faster than the legend..easy cleanup no hidden crevices unlike the grayl legend. by far the best grayl has to offer..grayl customer service is top notch.. the lids on my grayl legend failed, they were kind enough to send me replacement lids along with 3 backup plastic lids in case the stainless lids fail once more..

I am not a backpacker or hiker and did not purchase this for use in any lakes or rivers or even outside the country . I purchased this to filter my city tap water to filter out any potential particulates, chemicals and/or heavy metals. My wife and I drink about around a gallon of water everyday. We would get bottles of Zephyrhills and go through 14 or more water bottles daily between us. I was looking for an alternative to save time, money and eliminate plastic water bottle waste. I purchased this product and have used it over the past week filtering water in the GRAYL and pouring it into gallon jugs which are then convenient to transfer to my insulated stainless steel water bottle of choice as needed throughout the day. The water tastes great and I cannot taste any difference from the bottled Zephyhills water I have been buying and drinking for years. I have not tested the water after being filtered but I am incredibly happy with the convenience and taste. Thank you!

Lo hemos usado en India, Nepal y Mexico y perfecto. Tanto agua del grifo como de fuentes naturales. Es un desembolso al principio, pero te ahorras comprar botellas de agua.Lo recomiendo sin duda.

I am using this in my caravan to filter drinking water that comes from my van tank. It is easy to use and the water tastes great. I was looking for something compact that did the job.

Having used earlier model Grayls and kind of wearing one out this one seems to do the job very well indeed!

Great product. Thanks

It works a treat.
