Reusable by Design

The Outdoor Bottle Filter fits all Epic Water Filters bottles:

• Nalgene OG - All Sizes
• Escape Glass Bottle |
• Vostok Double Insulated Bottle
• Nalgene Ultimate Travel Bottle
• The Answer | Hydro Flask | Nalgene Compatible Filter System

What's the main difference between the Outdoor Filter and our Everyday Filter? Both filters are engineered to effectively reduce waterborne pathogens like Giardia and Cryptosporidium by up to 99.9999% while also removing chlorine, VOCs, heavy metals, industrial pollutants, agricultural runoff and trace pharmaceuticals in addition to 68% of fluoride. But, the sub-micron Outdoor filter also removes biological pathogens like bacteria and viruses in addition to everything that our Everyday Filter removes. This is the appropriate replacement filter for the Ultimate Outdoor Travel Bottle but you can use this filter in any of our new bottles!!!!

The American-made Outdoor Adventure water filter is tested against NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 401, P473, and P231 for contaminant reduction & removal (see Outdoor Filter Test Results for more). All of our filters are recyclable through our recycle program (see here).

Filter

Use Instructions: Before using the filter for the first time or if the filter has not been used for an extended period, then it is best to fill your bottle and let the filter sit in the water for at least 45 minutes. This will allow the Outdoor Filtration media to get saturated and improve the flow of water. Also the filter flow will improve with consistent use.

Epic for the Earth

Goodbye Single-Use Plastics: Each Epic Water Filter eliminates the need for up-to 1500 single use plastic bottles. Enjoy some of the cleanest water on earthing knowing that each sip is contributing to the reduction of single use plastics.

Partnerships: We are a proud contributor to and strategic partner of the Inland Ocean Coalition (IOC) who works to raise awareness of the impact that micro-plastics (single-use bottles and straws) are having on our rivers and oceans. They remind us that you don't have to live by the ocean to care about it because we’re all upstream. Click here to learn more about them. You can also support IOC by purchasing our OG Special Edition IOC Bottle whose proceeds go directly to them.

Materials: We opt for materials that are gentle on the environment. Our packaging is 100% compostable. We also have a Filter Recycling Program to help you responsibly dispose of your used filters (and get rewarded for it). To learn how you can recycle your filter, click here.

We reuse materials in our warehouse whenever we can do so safely so as to minimize our footprint and give a second purpose to materials that would otherwise end up immediately in landfills.

Giving Back: We believe in supporting others who are doing work that matters. As a 1% for the Planet Member, we commit 1% of our sales each year to give back to environmental organizations that are truly making a difference. We love to engage our local community in making a difference too. Each month, we host a creek cleanup in our area to prevent unwanted waste from making its way from us to the ocean. We love where we live and we like to do what we can to keep it beautiful. Want to join us (near or far)? Follow us on social media to stay up to date.

Recycle for Rewards: Can our filters be recycled? Yes, they can! But it's not always easy to find a recycling center that will do so. We use Terra Cycle's Zero Waste Box for Filters so both the filter shell and the contaminants inside can be disposed of responsibly. Want to be rewarded for recycling your filters? Learn more here.
