Platypus QuickDraw Microfilter System A high-integrity, ultralight water filtration solution designed for the fast-moving adventurer, providing an honest and dependable way to source clean drinking water from backcountry streams and lakes.
The Platypus QuickDraw is engineered for simplicity and speed, making it an essential tool for hikers, trail runners, and bikepackers navigating the Australian wilderness. Utilising a hollow fibre membrane, this system can filter up to 3 litres of water per minute, allowing you to spend less time pumping and more time moving. The high-integrity design features a dual-thread interface that is compatible with both the included QuickDraw reservoir and many common narrow-mouth bottles. With its "shake-to-clean" maintenance, you can easily maintain high flow rates in the field without the need for bulky back-flushing tools, ensuring a reliable source of hydration throughout your trek.
