Replacement purifier cartridges for the UltraPress® (and Ultralight) are designed to last 300 cycles (40 gal. / 150L). Lifespan will decline when purifying water with high levels of silt, sediment or tannins. Cartridge press time increases towards the end of the cartridge lifespan; when press time reaches 25-30 seconds, the cartridge should be replaced. Cartridge continues to protect, even as press time increases.
A feature no other drink-thru filter bottle can deliver, our One-Way Valve for the UltraPress® allows electrolytes and sport drink mixes to be added to clean purified water without compromising the integrity of the filter.
