Seattle, Wash., Dec. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seattle-based GRAYL®, maker of innovative water purifiers purpose-built for global adventure travel, is proud to announce its GeoPress™ Water Purifier Bottle has won a 2019 “Best of What’s New” Award in the Recreation category from Popular Science. The GRAYL GeoPress Purifier was recognized for its ground-breaking design and ability to provide virus-level protection from waterborne pathogens, revolutionizing portable water purification for global travel and outdoor recreation.
The GeoPress Purifier empowers adventurers to make their own clean, safe drinking water anywhere in the world. Its convenient press-to-purify design removes all types of waterborne pathogens, including viruses, which are the smallest and most difficult to remove, like Hepatitis A, Norovirus and Rotavirus, eliminating the need for travelers to purchase single-use plastic water bottles in any destination around the world.
“We are honored the editors at Popular Science have recognized the GeoPress for its ability to truly revolutionize the way people access safe drinking water while traveling the globe,” said GRAYL CEO and President Andrew Weber. “The GeoPress Purifier is the pinnacle achievement in our global mission to provide safe drinking water and surpass the limitations of filters and UV solutions, offering a true alternative to purchasing single-use plastic water bottles, which ultimately end up in landfills or polluting our oceans."
With the GeoPress Purifier, anyone, anywhere can safely drink from hotel sinks, public fountains and spigots, as well as rivers and lakes. Utilizing electroadsorption and ultra-powdered activated carbon in a patented press-to-purify design, the GeoPress makes twenty-four ounces of clean, potable water in just eight seconds—nearly twice as fast as any other purifier. While most camping and straw-type water filters fail to protect against viruses, the GeoPress Purifier provides OnePress™ Global Protection by removing viruses, bacteria, parasites and protozoan cysts, as well as many pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals and even microplastics––all while making the water smell and taste better.
