Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Trail Haven Water Straw Filter work?
The straw uses a hollow fibre membrane to filter water down to 0.1 microns. Simply place the tip into any river, stream, or mountain pool and drink directly through the mouthpiece — no pumping, no chemicals, no waiting. It removes 99.9999% of bacteria and parasites instantly.
Is it safe to use in South African rivers and dams?
Yes! It's designed for natural water sources including SA mountain streams, rivers, and dams. It removes harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, and parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Note: it does not filter heavy chemicals or salt water, so avoid industrial runoff or ocean water.
How long does the filter last and how do I maintain it?
Each filter is rated for up to 1,000 litres of water. After each use, blow air back through the mouthpiece to backwash and clear the membrane, then rinse with clean water. Never freeze the filter as this damages the membrane. Store in a cool, dry place and it will last for years of regular trail use.
How long does delivery take in South Africa?
We deliver nationwide across South Africa, typically within 8–11 business days via Aramex door-to-door delivery. We want your filter in your hands before your next adventure!
How much does it weigh and how big is it?
The Trail Haven Water Straw Filter weighs just 56g and is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket or clip onto a backpack strap. It adds virtually no bulk to your kit — making it the perfect ultralight hydration solution for hikers, trail runners, and fishermen.
