Cnoc Outdoors VECTO 2L Water Container, 28mm Thread, Orange

Product Information

Durability: What is the lifespan of all filter components? Is there a return or repair policy if components break or malfunction? What is the warranty on the products? The filter often requires you to squeeze the bags to get the water through. So the risk of accidentally popping one during filtration is quite high. Attaches to filters with a 28 mm thread, such as the Sawyer Squeeze, Mini, or Micro, the LifeStraw Flex, and the HydroBlu Versa Flow Silica Depth: Using multiple levels of finely grained silica sand, these filters work by layering the sand from largest to finest. As the water moves through the layers, the sand filters out the particles and organisms, so only clean water results. Easy to fill and simple to clean and dry due to the wide opening. The wide opening allows for the Vecto to be filled easily in any water conditions: running or standing water. You no longer need to find that perfect flow of water to fill your container, or improvise filling with a secondary vessel (and contaminating your cup) - just open the wide opening and scoop the water in seconds.

Sturdier than Sawyer Squeeze bags.The Platy Bottle seems to be made from a stronger material than Sawyer Squeeze bags. Maintenance: Is it easy to keep the filter clean? How long does the filter last? How many liters of water can it filter in its lifetime? Hard to fill.Pretty similar to Sawyer Squeeze, the bottle does not expand when underwater, so there’s not a lot of water going in when you push the bag underwater. Unless you can always find some source of water pouring downwards, you’ll freeze your hands like I did many times using it. TheCnoc Vecto 28mm 2L Reservoir is a light, durable, and easy to handle water reservoir for outdoor adventures. It's easy to fill with just a couple of scoops, carry to a dry camp, or filter on the spot with a 28mm compatible filter.

Now I know some people in forums say, that if you treat the bags well, they’ll hold. And that may be true. But these small accidents will happen and it can potentially end the whole trip. That’s not something I am willing to accept. The main risks of the bags popping The Vecto doesn't need much maintenance (it has very few moving parts for simplicity), it can be frozen and thawed, strapped on the bag and even used as a pillow or a lantern. One thing you should notuse it as is a hot water bottle - any water hotter than 120°F (49°C) will degrade or damage the material. The exception is the VectoX, which can handle temperatures up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit - be careful though, the bag will be hot with hot water in it! When clean, let rest open over night with the slider holding the Vecto open. The plastic smell and taste should almost disappear after this first cleaning. Anyone who has ever used a collapsible container with a standard narrow opening knows how frustrating it is to fill. We wanted a product that would make it easy to fill a water bladder even in shallow streams. The Vecto is a soft, 2 liters (68 oz), collapsible water container. The dual opening system allows for easy filling from a wide opening on one side and a narrow mouthpiece on the other. Use the Vecto for drinking or as part of a water filtration system with particular Sawyer and HydroBlu filters.

I wanted an affordable and lightweight water bladder which was compact and easy to use which would also fit my Sawyer Squeeze water filter without any attachments. When I came across the Vecto it looked perfect.

Attaches to filters with a 28 mm thread, such as the Sawyer Micro, Sawyer Squeeze or Mini, the LifeStraw Flex, and the HydroBlu Versa Flow or the 42mm thread attaches to the BeFree filter Fiberglass: Effective at removing particles, fiberglass filters are one of the most fragile filter media available. Made from 100% micro-fine borosilicate glass fibers, they have a high flow rate where sub-micron filtration is necessary. Fiberglass filters are commonly used to filter both liquid and air commercially. If you are using your Vecto with any other product, from filters to hoses, attach and test them together, just to make sure everything works as it should.

The filter is a hollow fiber membrane that filters out bacteria, protozoa, and most particulates. The thread on the filter is part of the system that may break over time, but if needed, the filter is sold separately. If the bag is damaged, I am not sure if they sell dirty water bags separate from the filter, but the filter is compatible with other water containers. Find in Store Other alternatives for Sawyer Squeeze Water Pouches CNOC VECTO attached to the Sawyer Squeeze Filter The type of water filter could mean how the filter functions to clean the water. Some examples include a straw filter, a pump filter, a gravity filter, or a squeeze filter. Each of those types of water filters has varying benefits. Gravity and squeeze filters may take a little longer, with gravity filters being the slowest. While they are slower, they are still very effective and one of the easiest to use overall. Gravity filters work well to filter a few gallons of water at a time, but it takes several minutes. The best way to use these is by filling them up at the start of a hiking break or while setting up camp. That way, the water is filtered and ready when you need it, but you can get other things done in the meantime. Maintenance and Cleaning Please note: TPU is a porous material and so is not completely smell free after production, please clean and air prior to use.

Before your first trip

Swimwear (including wetsuits)must not be altered or worn in any way other than tried on over underwear. Straw: Straw filters are a portable filter option, and like a drinking straw, all you have to do is put the straw filter into the water and drink. The suction of your drinking moves the water through the filter to clean it. These don’t filter much water at a time, but they work well for travel or emergencies. CNOC VECTO is made from sturdy rubber.While, like any bag, it’s not protected from sharp edges and cuts, the rubber is elastic and bouncy, which holds the squeeze pressure and is not as sensitive to impacts, like dropping on the ground.

Squeeze: Similar to a bottle and gravity filter, a squeeze filter has a filter attached to a water container. To use a squeeze filter, fill the water container with dirty water, attach the filter, and then squeeze the water into a clean water bottle. You can also drink directly from the filter on squeeze bottles which combine the idea of a squeeze filter and a water bottle. The filter media also determines the type of filtering method and the effectiveness of cleaning specific contaminants. Some filters may contain activated carbon, which can remove things like pesticides, smells, and heavy metals. The Vesica is a collapsible, reusable and light water bottle that behaves like a hard bottle for easy drinking on the move. Simply carry 1L of water and stow away when empty.

Overview

Secure cap attached to the bag.I love the small bit that holds the cap attached to the bag. I do have a habit of losing small pieces like caps from my bottles. One of the most compact and affordable water filters with a high performance level is the Sawyer Mini filter. It’s smaller and more lightweight than the Sawyer Squeeze, but it still provides the same filtering capabilities and water quality. The system has a small filter, a squeeze water bag, a straw, and a plunger/syringe to clean the filter. This filter functions the same as standard squeeze filters: Fill the water bag provided and squeeze the water to apply enough pressure to move the water through the filter. The 2 different colour variations allow you to identify your filtered and unfiltered water bladders easily. If you’re looking for a lightweight filter perfect for day hikes and other domestic travel applications, the Katadyn BeFree is a great option. If you are a long-distance trail runner, we favor this option because of the portable design. While the water container is small, the filter and bottle are easy to use. All you need to do is fill the water bottle, and then drink directly from the filter, which doubles as the mouth of the bottle. Alternatively, this can function as a squeeze filter to fill other water containers. Many straw and squeeze filter brands on the market also sell versions with the filter built into a water bottle. These applications of those filters are quite practical and were considered for this category, but the overall best water bottle filter we found is the Grayl GeoPress Bottle. Unlike the straw filters that use suction to pull the water through the filtration process, this bottle requires you to fill it up and press the filter through the water. You have clean, ready-to-drink water in just eight seconds and one push.
