The Bachgold is definitely a great tool. It has its ups and downs like anything. I did have it leak on an airplane one time when it fell over next to my bag. The Grayl does has a one way valve that's removable in the filter so you can add electrolytes or drink mixes to the clean water, the Bachgold doesn't have that. I always have one or the other in my bag. if you're only using it for hiking or recreation then the Bachgold is perfectly fine. For natural disasters, urban or near industrial I feel like the Grayl has a stronger filter but way less usage per filter.
This is listed as a purifier on amazon. It does state that it reduces the chance of viruses.
Good review, thanks. Do you think the Grayl filters are compatible with the BG?
No the filters are not cross compatible. They thread differently from each other.
@@Tailored_Outside Cool, thanks. I was just curious becasue I have used different types / brands of filters in my Aquarain gravity system.
On Amazon, this is listed as a Purifier not just a filter. Im trying to decide Grayl or Bachgold.

It's 24.99 on Amazon currently. I just bought one.
