Whether you are hiking, camping, backpacking, or just need a solid backup water filter, the Sidekick 3-Stage Straw Water Filter by HydroBlu is your perfect adventure companion. The 3-stage water filter provides the most robust filtration of any straw style filter. The easy to use Sidekick protects you from bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, and other contaminates. Large sediment is blocked with the cotton pre-filter membrane, increasing the longevity of the filter. Nasty chemicals and heavy metals are adsorbed by the Activated Carbon Filter. Activated Carbon removes lead, iron, cadmium, nickel, chromium, and zinc along with chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Once the pre-filter and Activated Carbon filters have reached their life expectancy of 50 gallons, they can simply be replaced with the extra end cap filter which is included. Finally, the Ultrafiltration Hollow Fiber removes 99.999% of bacteria. Hollow Fiber is made of dozens of tubes that have microscopic holes (0.1 microns) that don’t allow bacteria to pass through, while allowing clean water through by size exclusion technology. Regardless, if you are running on the trail or backcountry skiing the lightweight design of the Sidekick won’t slow you down as it only weighs 1 ounce. It can fit perfectly into your pocket, day pack, or emergency kit. No matter where you go it’s always better to take your Sidekick with you.

PERFECT for the world traveler! This was my backup every day filter for the… I hope I don’t need tap water… experience. I ended up taking this in my day bag on a trip to SE Asia (Philippines). It definitely came in handy. I wish the replaceable small bottom filter wasn’t so flimsy (plastic hinge broke), but that’s a minor complaint. This thing is absolutely the best! I’ll buy another. And for those curious… no I didnât get sick. I used this to drink tap & well water from all over the Philippines, from known areas with…
This straw works great. The water tasted crystal clear I literally drank from a mountain puddle yesterday while out hiking with my son’s. This straw works great. The water tasted crystal clear. I will definitely be buying more!
I mostly use it when I need to get water from the public water fountains or tap it taste just like clear water Since my purchase ofbthe trueblu straw I have used it everyday. I mostly use it when I need to get water from the public water fountains or tap it taste just like clear water. I also figured out a way to reverse flush the straw. Awesome product!
