Why Choose the AquaBrick® Portable Water Purification System?
Access to safe drinking water can quickly become a challenge during natural disasters, power outages, boil-water advisories, camping trips, and off-grid adventures. The AquaBrick® Portable Water Purification System was developed to help individuals and families maintain access to clean drinking water when municipal water systems may be unavailable or compromised.
Unlike many conventional filters that primarily address bacteria, the AquaBrick® system utilizes advanced DuraFlo® nanofiber purification technology capable of removing bacteria, viruses, protozoa, heavy metals, chemicals, and other contaminants that may be present in untreated freshwater sources. Whether your water comes from a river, lake, pond, stream, or emergency supply, the AquaBrick® system helps create safer drinking water when and where you need it most.
How the AquaBrick® Water Purification System Works
Step 1 – Fill the AquaBrick®
Fill the AquaBrick® container with water from a freshwater source such as a lake, river, pond, stream, rain collection system, or emergency water reserve.
Step 2 – Install the DuraFlo™ Filter
Insert the DuraFlo® purification filter and connect the included tubing assembly.
Step 3 – Pressurize the System
Use the included hand pump to create internal pressure. No electricity, batteries, or external power source is required.
Step 4 – Dispense Purified Water
Open the spigot and dispense purified drinking water directly into bottles, containers, cookware, or cups.

FAQ
Kaleo –
The Aqua Brick is the BEST micro-membrane filter with ionic-exchange, that will never freeze in cold temperatures, or brake if you drop the filter. I personally like the Aqua Brick because it filters heavy metals, chemicals and bacteria. I use the Aqua Brick everyday right next to my kitchen sink. I fill up water in my Aqua Brick and I have clean filtered water to drink and use with my cooking everyday. The Aqua Brick is so easy to use as a pressurized system and I know that with “End of life” testing, I can rest easy every night knowing it’s been tested every 25 Gallons up to 550 Gallons with an accredited independent Lab. I recommend buying the Aqua Brick for yourself and your family!

Goes together without difficulty. No leakage. Sturdy. Functions as described. Good handle. Stacks nicely. When full of water, its not too heavy. One complaint – the threads for the cap had plastic flash from the manufacturing; I had to trim the flash off.

Love the container size, quality, balanced design, large mouth for cleaning and pouring and that whole system fits inside. I haven’t used the filter yet because I haven’t had the need. This is part of our bug out preparedness as we live in a rural area periodically threatened by wild fires. This is an addition to 6 matching containers that we keep filled for drinking/flushing when our power is out so lose the ability to run our water pump. We are in our 70s so this size holds a reasonable amount of water for use or lugging around and the dual handles and design make it easy to pour and tie down if traveling.

I just got back from a 50 mile river trip and this system was our only source of water for a week. We did also have a couple of the XStream Straws which were also great, but this system rocked it. We got water fast and it is easy to use and no one got sick! Tasted great as well. I totally recommend this product and will take it on more trips. It took care of 16 people no problem.

For the record I have not yet used the Aquabrick Purification System. I will however, tell you that the quality is well built!! The container is made of solid and thick plastic. The cap threads on very easy and all the tube connections click together with no issues. I choose this over the Waterbrick do to the the fact that this one is easier to clean out, there are two molded handles not a wire handle. Also, the spout on the Aquabrick is at an angle, making it easier to pour all the water out. I will definitely be buying another one!!!!

While I inspected the contents of the box, I do not plan on actually using the product unless there is a dire emergency. My rating is based upon what others have said after they used the product.

I received my shipment on time and I’m so glad to have it in my home to use for emergencies and outdoor adventures. It includes the AquaBrick, a water filter, hand pump, spigot, and tubing. It doesn’t take much space to store. I love that it filters the water so quickly and that it purifies up to 500-700 gallons! Also, I do have some water stored in large barrels that are so hard to rotate. I’m glad that now I have the capability of filtering it for potable water. This is a welcome addition for emergency and adventure needs!!

Absolutely love the AquaBrick filter. This is our 4th one, and we use it constantly…at home to filter our crappy tap water (which our city gets e Coli warnings all too often), in our travel camper, in our emergency storage, and we even take one backpacking to have a steady clean supply of water on tap. There is no tedious pumping, just a simple hand-squeeze to pressurize the container – and clean water flows out like a fountain.

We have used the AquaBrick system as our countertop filter now for over a year. the water from it tastes great and somehow actually softer than the tap water. We were glad to have it last week as the threat of power outages and “boil water” orders were hitting different parts affected by the fires here in California. I highly recommend this product. Great peace of mind.

I have a few health issues, including an autoimmune disorder. I usually get sick at least every few months, where I end up in bed for a week with a common cold. Since I’ve been using the aqua brick system for the last year I’ve only gotten sick a few times and when I have it hasn’t been nearly as severe. It has been amazing to be so much healthier! I haven’t changed anything else except filtering my water. And my improved health has greatly benefited my family. Thank you, Sagan!

We moved to a new area about 4 years ago. A few months after the move, my heart started having palpitations which resulted in a visit to a cardiologist and a prescription for beta blockers. It was odd because my heart had always been fine. My wife and daughter both started having similar symptoms. My wife suspected it was the water we were drinking since it was from a different source than our previous residence. We had a large charcoal filter installed but the symptoms persisted. My wife started drinking bottled spring water and her symptoms went away. I was still drinking the municipal water and having palpitations in spite of the medication. We heard about the Sagan AquaBrick Water Filter system from a friend and decided to give it a try. It wasn’t immediate but over time my palpitations started to diminish. After my last heart monitor test and visit to the doctor, he had me discontinue the medication and my heart has been much better than any time in the last 4 years. I’m so grateful for this system that is able to filter out toxins our municipal water systems do not. I will never be without one of these filters again.- Lewis P.

Van Life – irietoaurora –
Let’s just say this system takes going off-grid to a whole new level. (@irietoaurora)Living on the road full time and being outdoor enthusiasts takes us to remote places where we usually stay for a week to two at a time. As long as we have a water source nearby we never have to worry about running out of clean drinking water. No matter how sketchy the water source, we have confidence knowing we can filter out any harmful bacteria. And the water filtered through the Sagan filter tastes amazing, crisp, and refreshing. The filtration system is easy to use once the brick is filled. Just attach the pieces and put the Duro Flo inside the brick, pump for pressure, and pour from the spigot with no worries. Plus it looks cool! We use it as our primary water container and put all our drinking water through the filter because, why not? It rides strapped to the back of our van at all times. I recommend Sagan filtration systems to any outdoor enthusiast, it is a must-have if you spend time off-grid or if you just want an extra level of comfort knowing your drinking water is clean and safe.

I got the AquaBrick filter system to use for camping and for my hubs to take hunting. He was really thrilled to not have to pack water to the base camp! Freed up so much weight for the horses. He actually took one less horse – the saddle panniers didn’t have to carry water. This thing is awesome!

After seeing the test results on the filter they use in this thing – I will never use another water filter. Really think a lot of companies are really embellishing what their filters do. Glad to see someone publish results with reasonable results. Thanks, Sagan.

I bought an AquaBrick for emergency prep, camping, etc. for which it is awesome!! But my holistic dr. told me to STOP drinking tap water so I use the AquaBrick everyday! I feel great!!! I know there is a bunch of crap in tap water – I was actually shocked at how bad it is. This was an awesome step for me. I recommend it to EVERYONE. #stopdrinkingtapwater #aquabrick YAY
