BreakdownFiltering up to 1.75 liters a minute without any pumping, the high-capacity GravityWorks 4.0L water filter is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get filtered water in the backcountry. Ideal for basecamps, the system has an 8-liter total capacity, easily supplying filtered water for drinking, washing up, cooking, and cleaning. While it has a big capacity, it is also very compact. When properly stowed it is smaller than most 1L bottles.
Compact size & may come in handy to filter water for human consumption.
Platypus GravityWorks 4L Water Filter System is great for filtering water, why you cut wood, adjust your gear or shelter. But after a few uses (in a fresh spring) the filter time nearly doubled. I tried clearing the tubes and filter by blowing them out, but it did not help. On my recent 2-week backcountry trip, I could filter 10 liters of water through my Katadyn Vario Water Filter faster than the Platypus GravityWorks filtered 4L.
I recently got back from a 9 day elk hunt and we used this filter system on a regular basis. It's very simple and efficient. We were blown away by how fast it can filter water!

I went on a backpacking trip into the high Uintahs with 15 people. This cranked through mountain lake water like I have never seen a filter do before. It is light weight and no pumping! We literally filtered 50 liters over 3 days and again no issues. You do have to back flush and clean but way easy. Worth the money!
