Grayl Water Filter Bottle: is it worth the money?! 💦 (Use and taste test)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- Is this the Holy Grayl or just the Grey Grayl?! Today I’m putting the Grayl Geopress water filter bottle to the test, complete with taste test! Is it worth the investment? Is it really that easy for novices to use? If I can do it anyone can so I put it to the test, I’ll give you my honest opinion so you can consider if it’s right for you.#GraylGeopress #WaterFilterBottleReview #TasteTest #OutdoorGear
A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here: www.victoriagracesilversmith.com

Tori, you look marvelous, dear.
A bit hard to watch without Miss Nancy on the bed.
Thank you for bringing up such issues as: water use and important matters regarding clean water and consumption.🎉❤
Thank you 🙏 I’m so sorry, it’s all true. Just laying there being a precious girl making everything more fun and special. Miss Nancy 🥰💔
Tori You look really beautiful with you hair like that but what makes it is your gorgeous smile .It is really good seeing you smiling again .
Thank you 😊
Tori must have many suitors ..
Hi Tori, Lovely to see your finding you way, I've had a busy time so catching up with your videos. Look forward to more reviews - keep smiling and take the next step forward, Take care
Thank you! You too 🥰
The facial expression after drinking from your vans tap was priceless. Very funny!
😁 it was beyond awful
Hope your forth coming adventures go well ,Tori. Your looking Good. and CHEERS ! 🙂
Thank you fingers crossed, cheers! 😊
Hi Tori, sounds like a great product 👍. Looking forward to hearing about your travel plans 😁👌💖😘
I think it will be useful 🙂Thank you! 😊❤️🐕
@@missnancysdayoff 💖
Looking gorgeous Tori, love seeing that beautiful smile of yours and nice seeing you look more relaxed. Love the new look it suits you looking really good not saying you never do, just something different about on this video 🥴🥴😘😍🥰❤️
Must be the joy of water bottles relaxing me 😂❤️🥰
I never knew there were such nuances to water! Your taste test faces were a picture.😂
You’re looking good; giving nothing but positive vibes. I’m excited to see where your adventures take you:)x
Honestly me either, I’ll never look at it the same again! 😂 x
Hi tori hope you didn't get an upset tummy from drinking the unfiltered water ..a good new vlog , glad you seem to have some sparkle back in your face ...take care always ..lee up in Wiltshire ❤
Hi Lee, no I was fine thanks other than a terrible taste in my mouth! Glad you enjoyed it bit different anyway, wishing you sunshine in Wiltshire ❤️
Great to see you looking really well..love the hair 😍
Thanks! 😍
I bought at Sawyer squeeze mini and a foldable bottle for the dirty water (Hydrapak Flux 1), not that cheap but it's for backpacking the coastal path and they work well together. I tried it at a Cornwall campsite and it definitely tasted nicer than tap water. 😋 (They cost £60 + £20). I'll probably not pay attention and just drink straight out the cow pat water knowing me.
Brilliant video again do agree bit pricey looking beautiful by the way keep them videos coming x
Thank you 😊 yeah a bit much but if I use it everyday I guess it will pay itself off pretty quickly, 🙏 x
I’ve got the MSR trail shot, small and lite you have to use your hand to pump the water through but it’s super easy and you can fill up a bottle etc with it!👍🏻
Sounds good I’ll check that out too!
Hey Tori, great video, I especially like your face expressions when drinking the water from the tap! Looks like a great product though x 🙏❤️
Hey! Omg that tap water is vile. I need to get it out and clean the whole tank. Gross. Yeah it’s pretty cool! X❤️😊
@@missnancysdayoff Hey Tori! The tanks do get 🤮-tastic quite quickly don’t they! Should give mine a clean soon too! X ❤️
Hi Tori. That was a good review and an important product. It's lovely to see your smile again. I was just wondering how much the filters are and how long they are supposed to last? It's lovely to see you smiling again.
Hello, thank you! I think the big one is supposed to last about a year with daily use I think it said 350l, but a new filter is £30 so again not cheap. However a lot of the cheaper ones I think do not filter out all the things that this one does so it’s swings and roundabouts I guess! 😊
@@missnancysdayoff Thanks for the reply and information. I guess you get what you pay for and if it does last for a year then that's pretty good, especially fileting out more nasty stuff than other filters do.
Hello Tori. That was very good.
I need to get a water filter bottle soon. I walk for miles and carry lots of water.
No nonsense review👌
You are tiny, no wonder you had trouble pushing it down.
9½ stone.
It was a good watch, nice to see you still smiling.
You were very Daisy Duke in this video 😉😁👋
You must see it too👍❤️
Hello, thank you! Ah then you are about to enter the rich world of water filtration 😂 it’s really too much for me, but does seem like a necessary item!
🙈 honestly though I see now I was trying way to hard and slow and steady is best, I also thought why and I rushing it surely it will taste better if it goes through slower?! Glad you enjoyed it anyway, Daisy Duke 🫣 I have not seen that!
@missnancysdayoff
I know they are expensive.
I'll find the cheapest one I can😁
I carried loads of water up North Wales last week.
I just buy bottles and fill them up a few times. Often someone is on mountain without a drink 🤦🏻 you know the ones who walk up in flip flops😁 I give one away if they need it.
The original dukes of hazard was awesome in the 80s.
Girls probably didn't watch it.
Your hair was like Daisy Dukes too.
Hope you get out exploring and sharing again soon. I know sometimes you must be tired and don't want to smile.
Many love your vids.
I've done 2 shorts on Aber Falls I'm hoping to do one on my wild camp from Cadair Idris. Some days I just really can't be bothered 😕
Coffee will wake and pick me up now.
Thank you for your videos they always make me smile👋❤️
That’s very nice of you coming prepared not just for yourself but for the flip flop walkers 🫣
I have heard of dukes of Hazzard I think they remade it but I don’t believe I’ve watched either. TBH it make me think of family guy when Peter has his daisy dukes on 🤮 if you’ve seen it you’ll know what I mean!
Thanks, you’re not wrong about that. It’s not always easy. I will find your other videos it looked so amazing, it’s hard work you’ll feel like that sometimes but if you enjoy doing it it’s worth it 🤗 I’m glad they make you smile, hearing stuff like that makes me think it’s worth it when I have those down times ❤️🙏
@missnancysdayoff
I love being outside.
I'm happy for days after a long walk.
Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach)
You had the same hair and stomach.
It was 70s and 80s.
I'm a bit older than you 1979.
80s shows were brilliant for boys, A-team, Knight rider, Magnum P. I
Tom Selick was really cool.
I'd probably think It’s rubbish now but great at the time.
I looked up family guy as Daisy Duke😂
I've never watched it. Heard of it.
It looks funny.
Hope you get out again soon.
Keep having fun💪👋❤️
Interesting to see, thanks Tori, I need a filter. I wonder how it tastes if you double filter it ...and boil it 🤔
The van looks great !
I’ve been filtering the filtered tap water and that tastes fine whereas the our tap water I don’t like. The water in the van was next level nasty in all honestly I’ve no idea if any product could remove all the flavour from that! Thank you ☺️
Hi tori looking good great review
Thank you 🙏
Great vid Tori, no need to apologise for the lighting 💡:)
Bottle may take a few uses before it "masks" the cow poo aftertaste ! :)
Good to see you smiling again
☀️
Thank you 😊 haha oh god lovely, I suppose you just get used to the taste of cow poo after a while and maybe even come to like it 😂
Tori, you’re looking radiant as always . 😘👍❤️
Thanks you 😊❤️
Sorry if I missed you doing this but take the lid completely off whilst pushing it down it's a lot easier ! Ive had one for a while as a backup 😊
Ok top tip I have now tried it and that does make it easier! I wonder why it only says to give a half turn in the instructions?! 🤗
Hey Tori......you've got some triceps going on there when you were pushing on that filter girl lol 💪
Well, i found myself totally riveted.....something i thought i'd never hear me say about a water filtering bottle 😅. To be honest, its a great invention and even with a slight taint to the taste, it would still be invaluable when wild camping.......there's nothing worse than being thirsty and having nothing to drink.
I wonder how many times you had to pause the recording to re-read the instructions lol..........Its great to see you smiling again sweetheart and i'm so looking forward to you taking us all on your adventures.
Take care and see ya soon xx
Hello! Ha all the triceps needed and presumably they will be getting g bigger and bigger using this bottle 😂 haha I am glad you weren’t bored stiff, I’m intruiged to see how it goes with different kinds of water what I tasted it on really was vile. The instructions…um… at least five minutes of footage and confusion cut out to try and keep the video short! 😂🙈 thank you ☺️ xx
Tori, Its good value if you do not become ill after using it.
That is a very fine point and we will have to see.
If you're going to be using a filter for hiking too, a better option might be the following setup. Much lighter...
Camelback hydration bladder (other brands avaiable), with a camelback filter (activated carbon). Then use a sawyer mini/squeese.
You can keep the mini seperate, or at it inline, on the hose (although the does restrict the flow, so you have to suck much harder).
I prefer to filter the water going into the bladder, personalty.
Thank you, I can see here speaks a man with a lot more experience in filtration than me! I will look these things up 🙏
I thought it said Grey water filter and thought you were going to drink used household water!! Will learn to read properly!! A cool product, and you are looking grea too!! Thanks for the video!!!
Omg that sounds a little scary, maybe it can filter used water as well?! 😅 thank you!
thanks for the video, tori.
i think you should review bass guitars next, but that's just me. :)
Bass guitars, wow I would be even more at sea than I was In This one but maybe I can give it a whirl 😂
@@missnancysdayoff you can do it!
I want to know the name of that 0.1 that it doesn't filter because that must be one tough cooky.😂🤣😂lovely video as always. keep smiling.😁🙏🙏🙏
I don’t think I do want to know it must be horrendous!! Thanks I am glad you liked it ☺️🙏
I use a Pure Clear water filter (made in UK) which come in different configurations. I have a rigid ¾ litre bottle for daily use and a 1 litre soft (collapsible) bottle for hiking. The filtering is easy as well. The reason these charcoal filters have limited life is that they filter viruses and heavy metals whereas many filters do not - being limited to bacteria only. The cost of Pure Clear filter bottles are less than £40. The filters can last up to 1400 litres - I change my filter every few months letting it dry out completely in between. I do use mine quite a lot as I filter all my water and also ensure my dog drinks the same as I do - Im not poisoning him with yukky tap water. I also often add quality electrolytes to our water. Safe travels......
That’s sounds good I’ll check it out, I’m glad your dog is getting the same good stuff you are ☺️ electrolytes as well, you just made the world of water even deeper and more confusing!
@@missnancysdayoff lol …… I’m always out and about as I love being outdoors with ‘the boy’. As a result, my kit is very lightweight-check the empty weight of these water filters; under 100gms. When I go walking for a few days at a time my whole pack weighs in at under 10kg but includes full comfort items like a decent size tent, a chair and insulated mattress. Rudi gets the same including warm PJ’s and a down filled blanket. He carries his own kit. 😎
@chrishamilton2527 pretty sure my pack will weight more like 20kg if I ever make it that far! There no way Miss Nancy would have carried her own things either 😅🥰
That was Quite Interesting - I've always thought these were a good idea but I never fancied drinking "dirty water" - filtered or not....
I know what you mean, been walking by a canal and not fancying filtering the murky water! But if it looked visually more pleasing I hope I won’t mind 😂
@@missnancysdayoff Yes, Canals...🤣
"slightly fun" - hehe, that's such a wonderfully British phrase, understatement on steroids. 😊. Cool video - you're looking energised and giving off slightly 'babe' vibes 😘
Wouldn’t want to do anything more that slightly fun that would be unseemly! 😂❤️
I'd be inclined to bring a bar clamp (where you repeatedly squeeze a handle) to compress that filter. You were trying pretty hard and not everyone is going to welcome a gymnastics session after kayaking or putting up a tent! I hope your adventure touring events are more touring than adventure and you can show us some great landscapes and maybe some interesting animals.
Could be that I am just inept and other people may make it look a lot easier 😂 well I certainly hope I’ll be showing you some good scenery and as many animals as I can find ❤️
Hi tori hope you are good and well great video looking beautiful as ever be safe and take care ❤xx
Thanks glad you enjoyed it ☺️❤️ xx
I think you're meant to push water through it a few times and empty before drinking. I know on other filters that is the case.
You’re probably right thank you!
Are you supposed to drink the first lot? I know with most filter systems you would discard the first couple of lots. It may taste a bit better after passing 2 or 3 lots through.
Ah this I don’t know, it didn’t say not to but perhaps you are right! Seem ok now although I’m not filtering that water from the van tank it’s no good.
@missnancysdayoff I know it kind of feels counterintuitive to flush something that is designed to filter out impurities.
Great demo, by the way. With the correct pump and filters you could install an undersink system in your van, similar to what is installed in some homes. Unfortunately, filters cost a fortune.
Hi I am a tight ass i would just go to tesco and buy bottle water anyway its good to see your cheeky smile looking forward to where your going on your trip take care and stay safe 😃❤👍👍
I can totally understand that, there’s a really good feeling to drinking bottled water, if it all came in glass bottles that would be heaven 😂❤️🙏
Es mejor que compres agua mineral😂 yo la compro desde hace mucho tiempo 😊
Had mine 2 years, works very well. Thanks for the shout out ya legend ya. :P PS. I bought you a little gift Tor, Do you have a PO BOX? so I can send you it to you..?
...........................push it down with the lid flip open......................................Did you give the filter and bottle a good wash first, i noticed mine tasted a little off for a while..
Weight. Benefit is you go wild camping for 2 days.. you dont need to take large water bottles if you plan.
I actually don’t, I looked once and it’s really expensive 🤣 I am now doing it with the lid open it is easier for sure thanks! I probably didn’t wash it, things are tasting pretty good I still need to try some different water sources but truthfully I’m a bit scared 🙈
@@missnancysdayoffmountain streams, lakes and resouviors iv used with no issues. Shame I can't get ya gift to ya sure it would make you smile.
@BOTG_Adventures so would you be happy with lake water or say a canal ever that didn’t look to nice to the eye? I suppose it should be fine just requires some trust at first
@@missnancysdayoff rivers and lakes yes. Canal no. Yes theoretically you could but I wouldnt lersonslly feel safe, also don't use free standing non moving water. Rivers and lakes and even resouviors I have used.
Blimey Tori - full contact water filtration!
😂 apparently that’s what it takes to get rid of 99.99 % of viruses!
@@missnancysdayoff German saying (apparently) - "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength. In water there is bacteria" 🤭
The more you have the less you wear you say ! Does that apply to your clothes as well? This is bringing us back to another topic. ‘ bid you say nude or nube’
I’m sure I said newb 😂
The males of Britain adore you I noticed young lady,all's well 😂
😂 😂
You could wear a pair of grubby old overalls and review the local sewerage farm, I would still watch.
😂 I am quite keen on getting some overalls!
Water with a work out built in!
Maybe that cost includes the workout as you don’t need a gym membership 😂
Darling Victoria, I apologize, I haven’t heard a word you’ve uttered transfixed as I am by your abs. Seriously glad to have you back ! Enjoy, be well and cheers.❤ Tom ( the yank)
😂 I cannot believe you weren’t riveted by all the water filter information! ❤️
😂😂😂 when you're taste testing your face is a picture Tori! There's no way you could lie about a product that's for sure. I'm surprised they didn't actually say the instructions to rinse out the device before using it. Normally anything you buy has manufacturing residue.. Maybe with use that will disappear. What made you decide not to go for something with active carbon? Particularly as the taste of the water is important? Also how expensive are replacement filters, how much water could you filter per filter?
Now I've got an image of you in your camper it's raining outside and you're thinking b***** going out side to use my filter but you have to. You're really keen to beat that 8 second time so you adopt a handstand pose 🤸🏼♀️ on top of your filter. 😂 You did get to show off your very impressive triceps though! Respect! You'll have guns the envy of everyone before long. 💪 maybe the company should market the product as an exercise machine?🤔🤣
Your demonstration makes it easy to understand why desalinisation plants consume so much power and aren't particularly environmentally friendly.
BTW, you are really rocking the remembrance armband. I'm excited for you to see what your future adventures entail.
I expect that’s why no one will ever pay me to review their products 🤣 yeah I’m sure it didn’t, but maybe they assumed people would realise they should wash it first?! Honestly that water was nasty though so perhaps unrealistic of me to expect it to turn into wine. That bottle does have carbon in, i think i just can’t speak properly because it did sounds like I was saying i didn’t want that whereas infact i was saying i did! 🤭 i think the replacement filter is £30 and it does 350l of water, it reckoned if you used it daily you’d need to replace the filter in a year.
Hmm that a good idea, i did used to specialise in hand stand walking when i did CrossFit to perhaps that could be a good method to try with the bottle! They definitely should market it as a guns workout though, that part of the cost!
Thank you, even though Miss Nancy only wore it when she was ill which isn’t a time i like remembering I’m very attached to it still. To all her things really.
@@missnancysdayoff 🤣 when you garner enough subscribers you'll definitely have everybody and their uncle trying to get you to sell their wares. It will just come with time. The way you present still compels the viewer to watch which is the secret sauce in what you do. It's nuanced and complex and has a lot to do with your own innate values, skills and qualities but it all plays in to a heady mix that produces compelling content. I'm sure that is what advertisers want? 💬
🤣 good it's got a carbon filter, have you played with the idea of using a UV light as well? 350 litres sounds good.
CrossFit, yet another string to your bow. Do you think you would explain more about this in a future video? Of course with van life there are plenty of opportunities for exercise in walking and swimming but do you place any value in a type of fitness regime that you can do whilst travelling that ensures you exercise and stretch the whole body?
No I totally get it, I've kept all sorts of things, I mentioned in a different post reply about keeping some fur. But I have toys and other things. They're in a box and it's very rare that I can actually bring myself to open that box but I wouldn't part with it either.
@Melatiah sadly I haven’t done CrossFit for a few years (actually once I got Nancy I just didn’t have so much time for it and never really got back into it after taking a break to get her settled) which is a shame because I was super fit a buff and now I’m just tired and squishy round the edges 🤣 honestly i find it really hard in the van to stick to any kind of routine, i only wish I did have an exercise plan to stick to because it would make me feel a lot better. For sure I could come up with one, but I’m pretty useless at the moment.
It’s often to hard to look but knowing they are there is still good. I try not to do it often as I am preserving it but sometimes I open the box with her fur in and have a deep inhale 💔
@@missnancysdayoff 🤣 aww 'squishy around the edges' well if it's any consolation you don't look squishy around the edges, rather you look healthily athletic. I'm sure you are a beacon of encouragement to others who wish to get into shape. I get that, routine being difficult to maintain whilst traveling in a van, I think whenever I travel it's a lot to do with going with the flow and actually freeing yourself from a much more structured and regimented life which is inevitable when you are static for long periods of time. So in many ways it's probably good just to embrace the lack of regime? 💬
I was watching a TED talk the other day about the importance of putting joints and limbs through a full range of motion, this encourages optimum joint health. Therefore they suggested any type of stretching, pilates, yoga and these sorts of things that enable you to express the full range of movement through the joints. I really enjoy doing tai chi and qi gong which is excellent for coordination and joined health. Do you think you would consider something like this perhaps?
Tori you are not 'useless' in this moment or any other, far from it. The motivation for all this sort of thing will come when it's the right time. It's not the right time, you're still in the healing process. Besides getting out for walks particularly if you can do that practically every day is in itself brilliant. 👍
'deep inhale' I so relate with you ...
Not new you say, have I been missing something in your many past bikini shots. Not like me to miss out on such details. Have you any plans for further new displays of your bespoke jewellery.(I presume all other obvious ones were made by you)
You haven’t been concentrating! Yes I generally only wear jewellery I have made now, I really should start layering it on a bit more, conversely the more I make the less I wear
LOL you could sell snow to the Eskimo's....
Pure, virus and bacteria free snow 😂
@missnancysdayoff or just avoid the yellow snow 🤣
Good luck on your upcoming camping trip x
Really enjoyed that review video, Tori. Although, I thought you said nude review and was a bit disappointed 😂❤️
😂 this is so funny I never thought of doing a nude review, would it catch on?!
@@missnancysdayoff 😂 it would definitely get your views and subscriber numbers up😉❤️
Blimey, £80! That's a lot of money! However, I have happily drunk water out of many a mountain stream, ditto from lowland streams but that is far more dubious! In fairness, I either have a strong constitution or happened to pick relatively safe streams - I've never had a problem so far as I know. If anyone intends to do the same, NEVER drink from a stream within 24hrs of heavy rain because there is a lot of run off from cattle pasture and so a massive spike in E. coli
Nowadays I always filter "wild" water mainly because of those pesky chemicals spread on fields by farmers. (except in true highlands)
For non-Brits - approx 9 and a half stone = 60kg (for most of the world) or 130 lbs (for Americans)
"User ability" ... seems poorly worded! But a great opportunity to practice yoga positions and balance
Yeah it’s way expensive! Have you, I don’t think I ever have even though sometimes it looks lovely, I guess I would from a high stream! Maybe you do have a strong stomach, I’d not be keen on drinking g whoever had been toileting the the water , although when you think about it like that even filtering it doesn’t feel too good 🙈 and chemicals from farming as you say, it sucks.
I have actually improving a bit I think so maybe I can move up to entry level ability, it’s not really faster though!
@@missnancysdayoff I worked in forestry in Scotland for quite a while and had no qualms about getting down on my hands and knees and drinking like a dog on hot days! What a wonderful picture that creates. Not. The only real issue I was concerned about was checking there was no dead sheep in the stream above where I was drinking!
I've been assuming that there are no houses higher up the stream/river and no discharge of any 'effluent' from anywhere.
I wouldn't drink from a lowland waterway that has houses without having an extremely good filter - and £80 suddenly looks very reasonable in that situation! It would give you peace of mind.
Take your time pushing it down mite taste better! your looking more relaxed thats good❤make sure i dont meet you ill want to take you on a date 😅lol feels mad with out miss nancy behide you.
Truth why was I in a rush! 😂 I know it’s not right is it just an empty bed 💔
I don't no because your fans are not going no where lol🤗empty bed hopefully not for long. missing Nancy 🐕❣️
🐕🥰
cow poop :) nice one madam
😂
Please rescue a Greyhound, there is one waiting for you.
I hope so and I will as soon as I can believe me 🙏
In the last seconds did you say new review or nude review?
It’s supposed to be newb! A review from a newb to the rich world of camping gear. Although it seems like a nude review might be the way forward 🫣
Did you say nude review? I feel cheated 😂
😂 I didn’t mean to but I seem to say a lot of words wrong!
Is the new belly button ring a talisman to ward away a gippy tummy from contaminated water if the high tech filter fails to work?
😂 it’s not even new! But if it can work to that effect that will be glorious fingers crossed 🤞
Wondering if your single
No I'm whisking her off to gtretna green next week, then off on a year long vanlife adventure around Spain and Italy.. #tooslow #grin
Yo Tor, I know I cant post my items to you. I will take a picture of them and put on my instagram, one was for ya van, the other who knows. Thought it was a bit if fun.. ill post link to pics here at weekend. have a good one x Im off cayoning.
I mean this sounds so cool sorry it’s a bit complicated! Have an awesome weekend I’ve never been canyoning but it looks awesome 🙌
