Vapur® Announces New and Improved Microfilter

July 23, 2014Brand introduces second installment of Microfilter product WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. (July 2014) – Vapur®, designer and manufacturer of the original Anti-Bottle announces the release of its new and improved Microfilter. Building upon its award-winning features, the new Microfilter boasts enhanced ease of use as well as an upgraded design making it one of the lightest and most portable water filtration systems on the market today. The MicroFilter, named Gear of the Year by National Geographic and Gear of the Show by Outside Magazine at Outdoor Retailer among other accolades, is a lightweight, chemical-free water filtration system that utilizes the most advanced hollow fiber membrane technology. With an absolute pore size of 0.2 microns, the MicroFilter safely removes 99.9999-percent of waterborne bacteria (such as Salmonella, Cholera and E. Coli) and 99.9-percent of protozoa (including Cryptosporidium and Giardia), making for safer drinking water in the backcountry or while traveling. The filtration system on the MicroFilter meets the U.S. EPA standards and exceeds CDC recommendations for water purity. The newly released version of the Microfilter has increased intake flow at the top of the straw ensuring users can sip up every drop of water in their bottle. Its new sleek design also makes it even more compact for superior portability. The upgraded Microfilter reflects Vapur’s desire to create the most innovative and flexible hydration products that appeal to everyone from the world traveler to the backcountry explorer. The MicroFilter is sold as a filter and bottle set with a 1L Eclipse Anti-Bottle in either Olive or Night Blue (MSRP $69.99). Together, the bottle and MicroFilter weigh just 2.7 ounces for ultimate portability, and the MicroFilter is capable of purifying hundreds of liters of water from lakes, rivers, streams and tap water over its lifespan. The MicroFilter also includes a stop feature, so users will know it has maxed out its usage when the water completely stops flowing through the spout.
