Waterdrop Gravity Water Bag, Compatible with Water Filter Straw

Seems like a great bag for gravity water filtration. I’m using this with the sawyer filter. It took 7mins and 21 seconds to totally filter the whole bag. I like the size and weight. Glad I went with the 6L bag because I think the 8L would be really heavy and put stress on the bag. I didn’t notice any leaks from the valve connection. Mine did come with the O-ring so I will make sure I take really good care of that. Pros 1. The valve is on the bottom which I love so all the water gets emptied. I saw some that has it on the side so you would have to manipulate it so all the water empties. 2. Everything is easy to read on the bag and seems decently thick so it should hold up well. Things to watch out for: 1. Filling it up all the way will cause water to come out of the top when you fold. I don’t recommend filling it up to the max. 2. The kink attachment for hose doesn’t work at all. The water flows no matter what. 3. Don’t like that all the clips are plastic, I hope they hold up.

I bought this in case SHTF as a prepper, and would add on my water filter to the tube to dispense water into a food grade bucket wuth dispenser. Also good for fresh water for camping. Can use it for cleaning dishes, hands, drinking etc while camping. The only CONS, they should include a cleaning kit with brush, and the tube is not that flexible. It's a hard tube. Hopefully it will last. I don't know the inner dimension to buy extra tubing. The bag is nice. It's velvety on the outside. Nice silicone bag. Seems strong. I have not used it yet. Keeping it in my BUGOUT BAG. Allows you to hike light so u don't need to carry around full bottles of water. Just make sure you have a water filter to attach. I recciment "membrane solutions" water filter over any other brand. I tested the filter. It fits perfect with this tube included. This is great for filling and keeping on your kayak or boat too!

This this works great. I think it's a bit big for longer distances but I did pack it into a back country base camp in the dunes on lake Michigan, in April. I didn't want to go up and down the dunes for water all the time... They're brutal.... And the wide opening made this a fast fill in Lake Michigan when I had to wade out into the really cold water to avoid a bag full of sand. For a solo, I could fill this once or twice a day and have plenty of water for cooking and drinking and hygiene/dishes. It's really sturdy flexible material and it worked great with the sawyer squeeze.... You need an adapter for the hose end to the filter but they come with the sawyer system. It actually filtered really fast....I just used a lightweight bungee to secure it to the tree instead of packing that big strap. The plastic clip to pinch off the water supply is really stiff at first but it loosens up and I don't think it's awesome in quality but not a deal breaker. I would definitely like to find one slightly smaller if they make them for longer distance trips but for two or more people on trail this would be awesome as well.

So I was about ready to give up on this thing on the first outing. The taste made water unusable. I had even flushed it with water a couple of times at home before use, but is was still overpowering. however, as far as function, it held water, didn't leak, and was fairly lightweight, and durable. When I returned home I ended up flushing it with vinegar a couple times and it seems to have mostly solved the flavor issue so make sure to do that before taking it camping!

My number one use. Love it. Still in use.

I took this on a backpacking trip to the ocean and was pretty pleased. It packs down small, is relatively lightweight, and carries a bunch of water. My gripe, which is probably impossible to get around with a quick-disconnect, is that if any debris gets in there, you'll end up with leaks. I filtered some water at a creek and unbeknownst to me, got some very tiny pebbles in the mechanism, so I could not fully seal the quick disconnect, and worse, water dribbled out the bottom when I was trying to carry spare water to camp. It wasn't until I got home that I was able to get the debris out, but now it is working good as new. Just a warning to be careful where you set this down and/or have some small tools on hand to be able to clear, just in case.

Used gravity bag for first time on 20mile over nighter w/2 people. Awesome and easy having water in camp. Fills, closes, and hangs easy. Connected drain hose to bag at camp. Sawyer mini filter plugged into hose end easy. When done filtering, elevated filter above bag because hose pincher did not stop water from flowing. Moved filter and hose into sleeping bag to prevent freezing at nightu. About 3/4 gallon water did freeze in the bag, not solid but estimate 75% frozen. Bag was not affected. Poured out the ice, refillled and used as expected. Hose does retain some of the coiled up shape while using, easy enough to hang bag so the fill bottle rests on ground. Rinsed bag and hose at home. Let air dry and put away until the next hike.

I bought this for a beginning scout backpacking trip I was teaching. It's a sturdy bag and it comes with a carrying strap as well as tubing. This was a pleasant surprise. The tubing fit my Sawyer mini perfectly. The carrying strap worked well for the younger scouts who would otherwise have trouble carrying a full bladder. The scouts had no trouble filling this bladder at a nearby lake and hiking it back to camp. We also used it in shallower water, but they didn't do too good of a job avoiding sediment, which clogged the valve at the bottom. A good teaching moment This is a GREAT, SUPER AFFORDABLE gravity filter set up. Just add a Sawyer mini and you are good to go. Absolutely no leaks. I am now recommending this to all our scout families.
