The ÖKO L3 filter

to survive in the wild

L3 ÖKO Filter

39.00 EUR

The L3 ÖKO filtration kit is a compact, lightweight system designed to improve the quality of freshwater (from rivers, lakes, and springs) during hikes, camping trips, or emergencies.

Weighing just 58 grams, this hollow-fiber filter has a capacity of approximately 1,000 liters, provided it is rinsed regularly after each use.

 

Its 0.1-micron-rated membrane filters out particles of this size and larger, including bacteria (e.g., E. coli) and protozoa such as Giardia lamblia or Cryptosporidium, depending on conditions of use and laboratory testing.

Examples of results obtained in a COFRAC-accredited laboratory:

  • 99.999999% filtration of Legionella pneumophila;
  • 99.997% reduction in Salmonella;
  • No detection of E. coli, coliforms, enterococci, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa after filtration;

 

This filter can be used on its own or attached to an ÖKO water bottle for instant pressure filtration. 

Specially designed for high-risk areas or remote environments, the L3 is an ideal solution for travelers, hikers, and outdoor adventure enthusiasts. It makes water safe to drink when its initial quality is uncertain, provided that standard precautions and proper filtration practices are followed (choose clear, flowing water rather than stagnant water).
