Water filtration bottles

[mgl45]

I was thinking of getting a water filtration bottle that can interface with the Osprey quick connect valve. (I have a 3 liter Osprey reservoir)

Can anyone recommend a product like this that has worked well for them?

Thanks much for any suggestions anyone has!

Katadyn's BeFree Gravity system interfaces with Osprey quick disconnects. It's not a "bottle" but you could jerry rig something together I suppose. I've usually just squeezed water from a filter bottle into the open reservoir without too much hassle.

I found the Katadyn's BeFree system on REI and it looks great. The collapsible container looks better than a bottle.

On the product page I don't see any quick connect components though. Do you know how I would go about interfacing it with the Osprey quick connect?

I tried searching for Osprey quick connect on Osprey's website, REI, Amazon and Google and in all places the only product I find looks like this, which doesn't seem to have the right fittings for the Katadyn.

Thanks much for any further advice you may have!

I have the Be Free collapsible bottle and filter and it does work. However, I have found the Steripen to be much easier and quicker. Does require a container with a large enough opening though.

Same model line, but the 3L gravity comes with the tube and quick disconnect thing. It fits the Osprey interface for me. The tube connection to the filter just screws off, so you could put it on the 1L bottle too.

I know you asked about filtration bottles, but I have to whole-heartedly agree with tlerunner about the SteriPen.
I've used this device pretty much exclusively since 2014/15 and in all those years, I've been sick once; and that includes
drinking straight from the creek untreated more times than I can count.
The thing is crazy light (only a few ounces) and takes up no room in my pack. Only catch as far as I can see, is you need
a container with a wide enough mouth to allow the device to be inserted (Nalgene). Sixty seconds later, you're ready to rock
and roll! Of course, it doesn't filtrate, so top filling from a water source is what you're going to want to do. Just my .02 cents.
