Utilizing your body weight, press with steady downward force, palms on either side of the cap.

DRINK FILTERED & PURIFIED WATER

NOTE: Actual "press time" will vary depending on water quality, cartridge lifespan, water temperature, and user ability.

EXTRA WATER STORAGE

Bring an extra bottle or hydration reservoir to store larger capacities of clean water.

DRINK-MIX READY

A Grayl Filter and the One-Way Valve transforms your bottle into a drink mix machine. Now you can use electrolytes, other drink mixes, and even beer inside your Grayl with a One-Way Silicone Valve (installed).

CLEANING AND STORING

CLEANING: All components should be washed regularly. Do not put any components into a dishwasher. Do not wash Cartridge with soap or any cleaning agents.

STORING: Perform a "dry press" with your Grayl by pressing without water in the bottle. Pour out excess water and remove cartridge. Remove One-Way Silicone Valve and allow Cartridge to air-dry thoroughly (depending on humidity it will take 2-4 days to completely dry).

Cartridges can last up to three years after opening if cared for properly between uses.
