HydroBluGo Flow Gravity Bag - Filter Not Included

Great large water bag. Pairs well with the Sawyer Squeeze filter. The strap works well to hang from a branch or tree. I think having the water port up off the bottom will help keep the larger sediment that sinks to the bottom out of the filter. The only downside while testing is there is about a liter of water that never makes it through because the exit port is up off the bottom. All things considered, this works great for my needs, and the price is well below others of similar volume.

I've used this bag for several overnight trips on my own but where this product really shines is when you backpack with friends! Plenty of space for all your cooking in the morning lunch and dinner. once you're done just fill up your water bottles, dump the rest and move on to the next water source or stopping point. I've had no issues with this product so far other than the initial disappointment when it didn't come with the filter, but that's my fault for not reading.

It holds water! I did have one little puncture/spot where the seam wasn't sealed properly, but it was easily fixed. I originally bought it just to gather water for purification, but I decided to use it as a solar shower too, and I noticed a few beads of water form on the bottom of the bag when I have it hanging in the sun, but not enough to really worry about. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.

This water bag is WAY overbuilt for its purpose. I don't see it failing with normal use. You can not go wrong with this product. It comes with a very sturdy roll over closer and a shoulder strap/hang up strap and the best part is, a sawyer mini water filter will fit the drain tube. I don't think you could go wrong with this water bag.

After years of pumping from the stream while backpacking/back-country camping, recently converted to this HydroBlu. I've now bought 2, keeping one in my gear storage and using the other regularly.

The quick connect part of the hose will not connect to the bag connection. It will not snap in. I have sent a message to the manufacturer who failed to respond.

I purchased this bag to work with my MSR gravity system in order to have more capacity while group camping. First of all, this might hold 10L if it were filled to the brim while open, but more like 6L when properly closed and not leaking out. Secondly, there is an intense odor and taste imparted to the water--it gets a little better after washing with dish soap and soaking with baking soda solution. Thirdly, the valve system is smaller than the standard pieces used in most gravity or water bag systems (MSR, Camelbak, Playpus)--how much could that possibly have saved them?

Excellant bag and super simple to use BUT does not come with an in-line water filter. This is the reason you always check your gear and be famliar before getting out in the wild. I added a small Sawyer in-line filter and this system works great. Fill it will water and allow gravity to filter while you are doing other camp work. I used it to support a 3 man river kayak trip and filtered pleny of water every evening.3 stars only because it should come with a filter, somewhat misleading label "gravity filter bag", reality is it is only a dry bag with a connector fitting at the bottom.
