Peak Series Collapsible Squeeze 650ml Water Bottle + Filter

A hollow-core membrane microfilter is a specialized water filter that uses a unique structure with tiny pores (0.2 microns) to effectively remove harmful contaminants from water. The hollow-core design allows water to flow through while trapping bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms, ensuring that the water you drink is safe and clean.

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that can be harmful to both the environment and human health. They can enter drinking water through various sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic items and certain products. Filtering out microplastics is essential to ensure that your drinking water is free from these pollutants, promoting better health and environmental safety.

The backwash accessory allows you to clean your water filter by reversing the flow of water through it. This process helps to dislodge and remove any accumulated dirt or contaminants, which not only extends the life of the filter but also ensures that it continues to operate effectively, providing you with clean drinking water.

BPA free means that a product does not contain bisphenol A, a chemical often found in certain plastics that can pose health risks. Choosing BPA-free products is important, especially for items that hold food or beverages, as it helps reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, making them safer for you and your family.

When a product is labeled as FDA approved, it indicates that it has undergone rigorous testing and meets the safety standards set by the Food and Drug Administration. This approval provides consumers with confidence in the product's quality and safety, ensuring that it is suitable for public use.

The frequency of replacing your water filter depends on usage and the quality of your water. However, using the backwash accessory regularly can help maintain the filter's performance and extend its lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations on filter replacement.
