FAQs

How long does the GRAYL UltraPress Purifier Cartridge last?

The cartridge is rated for 300 cycles or approximately 40 gallons (150 liters) of water purification. Lifespan can be shorter if purifying water with high sediment content. Replacement is also recommended after three years of first use, regardless of the number of cycles.

How do I know when to replace the cartridge?

You should replace the cartridge when the 'press time' consistently reaches 25-30 seconds, or after three years have passed since its first use, or after 300 cycles/40 gallons have been purified.

What does the cartridge remove?

It removes 99.99% of viruses, 99.9999% of bacteria, and 99.9% of protozoan cysts. It also filters particulates like sediment and microplastics, and adsorbs chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and improves taste and odor.

Can I clean the purifier cartridge?

No, the purifier cartridge itself is not designed to be cleaned. It is a replaceable component. You can clean the other parts of your UltraPress™ purifier with soap and water.

What is the shelf life of an unused cartridge?

An unused, airtight purifier cartridge stored under proper conditions has a shelf life of 10 years.

What are the dimensions and weight of the cartridge?

The cartridge measures 2.9 inches (7.3 cm) in height and 2.7 inches (6.7 cm) in width, weighing 2.8 oz (80 g).

Is the cartridge made from safe materials?

Yes, the cartridge is made from ABS food-grade plastic and food-grade silicone, which are BPA-free.

Troubleshooting

Slow water flow rate

The press time is increasing significantly (around 25-30 seconds). This indicates the cartridge is nearing the end of its lifespan and needs replacement.

Water still tastes/smells bad after purification

Check if the cartridge has reached its lifespan limit (300 cycles or 3 years). If so, replace it. Also, ensure the UltraPress™ device itself is clean.

Difficulty screwing in the new cartridge

Ensure you are using the correct replacement cartridge for the UltraPress™ model. Check for any debris in the threads of both the cartridge and the purifier mechanism. Do not overtighten.

  • Filters out sediment, microplastics, and improves water taste/smell.
  • Fast purification process allows for quick hydration.
  • Durable, BPA-free materials ensure safety.
  • Chemical-free purification method.

Cons

  • Lifespan reduced by water quality (high silt, sediment, tannins).
  • Press time increases significantly towards the end of its life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This is a replacement purifier cartridge specifically designed for the GRAYL UltraPress™ water purifier. Ensure your device is the UltraPress model.

Setup: Replacing the cartridge is straightforward. Typically, it involves unscrewing the old cartridge from the purifier mechanism and screwing in the new one. Refer to your UltraPress™ manual for precise step-by-step instructions.

Care:

  • Storage: Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Unused, airtight cartridges have a shelf life of 10 years.
  • Cleaning: The cartridge itself is not designed to be cleaned. However, the outer components of your UltraPress™ purifier can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
  • Usage: Avoid exposing the cartridge to freezing temperatures. Always use the cartridge to purify water; do not attempt to use it with non-potable water sources that are heavily contaminated with chemicals or industrial pollutants beyond its stated filtering capabilities.
