Breakdown
The QuickDraw Microfilter System draws upon decades of expertise in filtration and hydration to provide adventurers the best user experience of any fill-and-squeeze water filter on the market. The easy-to-use system comes in two parts: the durable and taste-free 1L QuickDraw reservoir and the hollow fiber filter cartridge. Weighing just 3.6 oz and filtering up to 3L per minute, the QuickDraw system ensures quick and easy access to clean water on any adventure. You can either shake-to-clean the hollow fiber filter or perform a tool-free backflush to ensure the fast flow rates will stick around for the duration of your trips. With its inside/outside (I/O) dual-thread design, the QuickDraw filter cartridge securely adapts to Smart Water bottles and other Platy bottles and reservoirs allowing you to develop your ideal system to confidently explore the wilderness.
Each microfilter is individually tested to ensure it meets all EPA & NSF guidelines for the removal of 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.9% of protozoa*.
*This includes Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Salmonella and Choler

Completely failed us on hunt - had to use a friends as backup, as it only allowed a trickle of water to pass through. Your customer service after we returned from our hunt was FANTASTIC & immediately shipped a new one. Hoping it does the job, as I can’t say enough good things about you guys!
Platypus QuickDraw 1L Water Filter
I would not recommend this product. I received the first one and the filter was barely a trickle. I looked up a tutorial video to confirm my expectations were not incorrect on flow, and confirmed that the unit I received had very poor flow. GoHunt quickly replaced it for me but unfortunately I had the exact same issue with the second one they sent. I could barely squeeze a trickle out of it. I read more reviews online and it seems this is a very common issue. It is very hit or miss if this product flows properly. You might get one that does, but there is a good chance you will get a faulty one. Thanks as always to GoHunt's great customer service though!
Just returned from a CO elk hunt. I purchased the Platypus QuickDraw to use as my first order water system and carried Aquamira as my backup. Previously, I've mainly used the Sawyer Squeeze for water filtration, but the bags were of such poor quality I wanted to try something else. The Quickdraw seemed to clog up sooner than the Squeeze ever did. Maybe it filters out more? I found myself backflushing regularly and it seemed to take quite a bit longer to filter a liter of water. On about the 8th day, the Platypus Dirty Bag that came with the filter sprung a leak near the top, which was a surprise based on how tough my other platypus soft bottles have been. Luckily, the filter is made to accept a normal, narrow-mouthed platypus soft bottle and I had an extra to use for dirty water. Additionally, the way the clean side of the Quickdraw is made does not allow for a quick connection to be able to filter water straight into a hydration bladder fitted with a drinking tube quick connect valve Overall, I was disappointed with the Quickdraw system and will be going back to the Squeeze or to some other filter system.
