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

Product Information

Great compatibility with Sawyer Squeeze.Tested with a lot of pressure and not a single drop seemed to get through any other part than the filter itself. This means it’s safer as you know no dirty water mixed in with your filtered water. 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! 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. 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.

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.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? 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. Gravity: Gravity water filters utilize one container to hold dirty water and use gravity to move the water through the filter. Some gravity filter systems have two bags, one for dirty water and a second for clean water. Other methods only have a dirty water bag, and the filter drips water into a bottle or other container of your choice. The Hydra Blue Versa Flow Filter is a standalone water filter option that is versatile in and of itself. You can use it with various bags and in several ways to filter water. My favorite way to use it is as a gravity filter, but it also works as a squeeze or straw filter when needed. When used as a gravity filter, we recommend pairing it with the CNOC Outdoor Vecto bags. With just one bag, you have a very lightweight filter kit that can still act as a gravity filter system or simply as a squeeze filter. With two bags, fill one bag with dirty water, attach the filter with a secondary bag, hang the system, and let gravity do the work. Within a few minutes, you have clean water in a portable container. Water filtration is one of those things on the trail which takes time and effort and it has to be done hygienically. The Cnoc Vecto water bladder offers a simple solution which is easy to use, easy to clean, easy to fill and is convenient and fast.

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?

Attaches to filters with a 28 mm thread, such as the Sawyer Squeeze, Mini, or Micro, the LifeStraw Flex, and the HydroBlu Versa Flow 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. The flow rate of the filter can also be impacted by the filter size. Pictured is the Sawyer Mini (top) and the Sawyer Squeeze (bottom) next to a standard Bic lighter. The Sawyer Squeeze has a slightly faster filtration speed than the mini because it is a larger filter.Filter compatibility - the 28mm thread attaches to filters like theSawyer Squeeze, Mini, or Micro, the LifeStraw Flex, or the HydroBlu Versa Flow Please note: TPU is a porous material and so is not completely smell free after production, please clean and air prior to use. 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.

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. Find in Store Other alternatives for Sawyer Squeeze Water Pouches CNOC VECTO attached to the Sawyer Squeeze Filter It’d be nice if the orange cap was secured to the bottle like it is on Evernew’s soft water bottles or the slide was attached to the bottle like it is on the Platypus Big Zip. But neither of these omissions is a show stopper if you’re careful about where you place these two components when you take them off the Vecto water container.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 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 container even in shallow streams.

Shoeswhich have been worn outside or on a marking surface (please note it is immediately obvious when shoes have been worn outside and we will not be able to accept a return if this is the case) Attaches to filters with a 28 mm thread, such as the Sawyer Squeeze, Mini, or Micro and the HydroBlu Versa Flow Thru-hikes are a lot for any piece of gear. Things get used daily, they never really dry out, they are rarely cleaned. Just like you, your gear goes through a lot on a thru-hike and just like you, your gear may have some wear and tear on the other side. The VectoX was specifically designed with thru-hikers in mind. It is a heavier piece of gear and there may be folks who would prefer to carry an original Vecto and a Tear Aid Patch or two for the weight savings - but we wanted an alternative for folks who just wanted a water bag that would hang in there with them all 2000+ miles. 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. 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.

Anyone who has ever used a collapsible container with a standard narrow opening knows how frustrating it is to fill. Cnoc wanted a product that would make it easy to fill a water container even in shallow streams. Some leakage from the cap. In my experience and that of other users who shared this in various forums, unless you tie the cap very tightly, you might see some leakage from that part. Obviously, the tighter you twist on the cap or the filter, the bigger the chances to damage the thread. Swimwear (including wetsuits)must not be altered or worn in any way other than tried on over underwear. Despite looking simple, the Vecto is made from relatively complex materials, including a porous, soft, strong TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). We chose these materials because they ensure the best lightweight performance from your Vecto - but they need a bit of care, too. So here is a little tutorial for what to do when you get your Vecto, and how to get the most of it on the trail. When You Get Your Vecto All new hiking gear should be tested at home, not on the trail. Everything can have faults, from production to material or just fit and personal preference. If you plan on relying on your gear to keep you safe and comfortable outdoors, test it at home.
