{"product_id":"portable-outdoor-water-filter-straw","title":"Portable Outdoor Hollow Fibre Water Filter Straw","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe stream runs clear over the stones and you have no idea what is upstream of it.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou unscrew the outlet cap, kneel at the edge, and push the ported base under the surface until the collar is wet. The first pull is hard because the membrane is dry. The second comes easier. What you taste is cold water and, faintly, nothing at all, because a bed of coconut activated carbon sits between the membrane and your mouth. The lanyard is around your wrist the whole time, which is the small detail that stops a 60 g tube going down the current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe straw is an ABS tube about 22 cm long and 2.5 cm across, weighed by the maker at 60 g. Its own printed card names what is inside: a hollow fibre membrane and coconut activated carbon, behind a threaded inlet at the bottom and a capped mouthpiece at the top. The card gives a flow of 750 ml a minute and a five year shelf life. Four kits are offered, from the straw on its own up to a set with an extension tube, a carabiner, a backflush syringe and a collapsible water bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo stages, both named\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker names a hollow fibre membrane and coconut activated carbon, and prints a cutaway showing where each one sits.

The carbon bed behind it is there for taste and odour rather than for anything else. Both of those are material facts about how the object is built, and they are the only kind of statement we will make about it. The maker prints a percentage on its sleeve and we do not endorse it. No test report, no standard and no rating in microns comes with this straw, so we make no hygiene or health claim for it, and it should not be treated as a substitute for water you already know is fit to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e hollow fibre membrane with coconut activated carbon, as named on the maker card; BPA free ABS body; 60 g net on the maker card; about 22 cm long and 2.5 cm across on the supplier sheet; flow given as 750 ml per minute; working life quoted here as 1000 litres, the lower of the two figures the maker publishes; shelf life given as five years; wrist lanyard; four kit options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet it at home first. A dry membrane pulls hard and people conclude the straw is faulty when it is simply new. Two minutes at the kitchen tap tells you what a normal pull feels like, and gives you a baseline for when the flow later drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the hill it lives in a hip pocket, not the bottom of the pack. The point of a 60 g straw is that it is reachable at the stream you did not plan to stop at. On kits three and four the bag rides in the same pocket, folded flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackflush it before it goes away, not after. Fill the syringe with clean water, push it through from the mouthpiece end, and let the straw dry with both caps off. Store it dry, and keep it out of a freezing car boot, because the maker gives a working range that starts just above zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the filtration rating in microns?\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker does not publish one, anywhere, on any panel. We will not put a number on it that the maker has not given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many litres will it do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker card says 1500 litres and the supplier sheet says 1000. We quote 1000, because when two figures from the same source disagree the smaller one is the honest one to plan around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat temperature range does it work in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The card that ships with it gives 32 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 0 to 32 Celsius. The web sheet gives a wider range. Plan around the card, and do not let it freeze with water inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the printed figures on the sleeve?\u003c\/strong\u003e They are the maker's own wording and we do not adopt them. Sold as a hollow fibre filter straw for outdoor use. No test report and no standard is supplied with it, and we claim no health or hygiene property for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 480px; width: 100%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003ePersonal drinking straw with a filter element, for outdoor use\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eElement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eHollow fibre membrane with coconut activated carbon, as named on the maker card\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eRating in microns\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eNot published by the maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eFlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e750 ml per minute as given on the maker card\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eWorking life\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e1000 litres.
