You’ve freed your water from the bondage of disposable plastic by incorporating a reusable water bottle into your daily routine (job well done). But how do you free your water from that funky tap taste and the time suck of traditional home water filtration pitcher systems? Fear not friends, for CamelBak® has introduced Relay™, the first water filtration pitcher to filter water at the speed of your faucet.
CamelBak sent out one of their new Relay filtration pitchers for us to try out. What did we discover? Well, the only thing that moved faster than the water being filtered was our level of appreciation for CamelBak’s approach to home filtration. In the spirit of keeping things flowing, here’s five fast reasons to fawn over the new CamelBak Relay.
1. SAVE TIME. In an era where a hiccup in internet speed causes conniptions, every second matters. Created to keep pace with active lives, the Relay relies on a unique, pleated Double Filter Technology system that filters water twice — once as the pitcher is filled and again as water is poured. The benefit is all yours offering crisp, clean water at a rate of more than 10X faster than the leading competitor. Simply fill, filter and drink.
2. SAVE TASTE. There are two hydration truisms. First, drink more water. Second, the better water tastes, the more you drink. By reducing the taste and odor of Chlorine and other impurities, the Relay transforms tap water into great-tasting drinking water. The filter doesn’t “purify” water, but independent test results show that Relay removes 97% of chlorine, taste and odor. Each filter lasts four months. How good is it? Good enough that our family relied almost exclusively on the Relay rather than our refridgerator’s built-in filtration system.
3. SAVE SPACE. The additional benefit of CamelBak’s innovative filtering approach results in a streamlined, space-saving pitcher design that easily fits in most refrigerator doors. Admittedly, it doesn’t always play nice with a gallon jug of milk in the same side partition, but for a pitcher that holds 10-cups of water, the Relay takes up much less space than you would expect.
4. SAVE MONEY. The Relay Fresh filter lasts four months. For those keeping track, that’s twice as long as other filters on the market. Even better, a three pack of Replacement Fresh Filters for the Relay will cost you a meager $28.50 and last ensure up to 12 months of great tasting water. Contrast that to the singular filter we regularly purchase for the home fridge which costs $40 and only lasts six months.
5. SAVE YOUR SANITY. Anyone who has dealt with similar products knows the fury associated with pouring a glass of water only to have the top of your pitcher plunk off onto the counter. CamelBak eliminated that problem by providing a lid that stays put courtesy of snap-in-place locks. Did we mention that the pleated Double Filter also eliminates the top heavy approach of competitors giving you a product that actually feels balanced in your hand?
For additional peace of mind,the Relay is covered by CamelBak’s Got Your Bak™ Lifetime Guarantee ensuring you have one less thing to worry about should anything go wrong.
Bottom Line…
Patience is overrated. Save time. Save Taste. Save Your Sanity with the new CamelBak Relay.
