Trekking: ÖKO Filter Bottle, an indispensable companion

Why filter your water when you go trekking?

Filtering water trekking eliminates the need to carry bottled water, which weighs down your backpack.

But above all, it prevents dehydration, as running out of water for several days is extremely dangerous for the survival of any individual.

The trek absolutely requires the use of water filtration to :

• drinking and eating water (sachet of dehydrated food)
• lighten your backpack (weight is the trekker's #1 enemy)
• avoid intestinal problems due to protozoa (diarrhea parasitic diarrhea)

No water = No trek possible. And the only solution is filtering.

What's the best filtering water bottle for trekkers?

Trekkers spend several days in the wilderness with their backpacks to shelter, sleep, eat, wash and change.

They can't take along superfluous water bottles, which will clutter them up once empty, with no possibility, sometimes, of refilling them (bottles can't be thrown away in the wild).

So you need a filtering water bottle that offers :

• protection against intestinal parasites (NASA filter)
• speed (no need to wait for purification)
• easy to carry with carabiner
• lightness (always less weight)

The ÖKO water bottle meets a number of requirements by being sturdy and guaranteed BPA-free.

How do I use an ÖKO water bottle on a trek?

A trekker can't always worry about the potability of the water that will fill his water bottle (and he shouldn't have to). That's why it needs to adapt to all the sources he may encounter.

For example: 

• faucets
• fountains
• rivers
• lakes
• puddles
• etc

That's also why trekkers need the easiest water bottle to use, which ÖKO offers with a filtration system that' s completely forgotten in use. "Fill it up. We drink" could be our slogan.
