Grayl began his journey with a drawing on a napkin in a cafe in his hometown of Seattle in 2012. Through Kickstarter, $250,000 was raised and soon the first water filter saw the light of day. The driving force behind the development of the world's fastest water filter comes from the innovators' interest in the outdoors and the desire to create a better world for everyone. Grayl water filters today provide hundreds of thousands of people with clean drinking water
The Success Behind Grayl's Water Filter
To filter out harmful substances, you need the finest of hollow fiber membranes, less than 1 micron in size. Most water filters today offer around 2 microns, which removes bacteria but not viruses. The challenge with using 1-micron-sized hollow fiber membranes is that the water becomes very difficult to press through. Grayl has ingeniously solved this issue. The design of Grayl Geopress and Grayl Geopress Ultralight allows you to use your body weight to press down the filter membrane in the water bottle, quickly and efficiently forcing the water through the filter.

Grayl is a member of "the Conservation Alliance," which works to protect threatened wilderness areas and preserves areas for outdoor recreation. To this date, TCA has protected over 73 million acres, providing daily joy to outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
How Long Do Grayl Geopress and Grayl Ultrapress Last?
Grayl Geopress purifies approximately 250 liters of water during the filter's lifespan. The filter part is easily replaced with a new one by simply unscrewing the bottom of the filter bottle and attaching a new one. A replacement filter lasts as long as the original filter.
