drink clean drinking water everywhere with the soulfilter
Bye-bye plastic bottles and hello soulfilter ! Do you long to be able to drink clean drinking water from your soulbottle even in the deepest jungle? Or do you simply like your tap water better when filtered? We'll show you everything you need to know about our brand new soulfilter here.
In many regions of the world, it is not possible to drink tap water for health reasons. Or let's be honest: sometimes the tap water just tastes of chlorine because of the strong cleaning process. You may already know this from your travels or remote work - buying bottled water in plastic bottles is essential there, no matter how much it hurts your soul heart. Until now!
Together with the experts from FAIRCAP We have developed a solution for this and are very pleased to be able to make it easier to do without plastic bottles. Yay!
Faircap has many years of experience in the development and distribution of water filters and has various products on the market. It is - just like us - a social enterprise and is also committed to access to clean drinking water. Faircap donates 1 € per filter purchased to NGOs that primarily distribute Faircap family-size filters in developing countries.
Our soulfilter is a kind of “straw” that can be inserted into any soulbottle from 0.6 l. This means you always have filtered and clean water within reach when you are on the go - no matter where you are on earth!
what's so great about the soul filter?
Well, quite a lot! Firstly, our soulfilter is not only super easy to use, but also complements your soulmate in all possible functions:
- High filter performance: Our soul filter can filter 99.99% of all bacteria and even 99.9% of all viruses! (99.9% in tap water and 99% in natural water). This also includes microplastics up to 1.5 micrometers, mud sand and fine dust. The soul filter also neutralizes the taste of chlorinated tap water. Cheers!
- Stable service life: The filter should be replaced after 300 l of tap water or 150 l of natural water, giving you almost 6 or 3 months of filtered drinking water, respectively, with an average daily amount of 1.5 l of water. Stable!
- Less plastic: you use 300 times more plastic with water from plastic bottles than with our soul filter. Do you want concrete figures for this? Here they are: For 300 l of clean drinking water, you need 200 1.5 l PET bottles. That's about 6 kg of plastic and is comparable to the weight of a house cat. Quite a lot, isn't it? For the same amount of clean drinking water, the soul filter cartridge has a 100% recycled plastic content of only about 20 g, which is the same weight as a standard letter. In addition, the cartridge can be recycled at any time with the plastic waste.
- Interchangeable: If the water flow is reduced or the taste and smell of the water changes, the filter tells you that it needs to be replaced. Here you can get our soulfilter replacement cartridge .
And the best thing: if things get really critical, you could even filter and drink puddle water thanks to the high filter performance. Whaat? You're probably asking yourself: huh, how is that even possible? We'll show you: the stage is set for our soul filter!
how does the soul filter work?
Our filter consists of a very fine-pored (1.2-1.5 micrometers) tissue through which your water is sucked. For filtering purposes, organisms are classified by size, with viruses being the smallest at 0.05 micrometers, bacteria at 0.5 micrometers and parasites at 5 micrometers. Now you might think: Why are viruses and bacteria filtered if they are smaller than the pore opening of our filters? This is because the filter we use has a very innovative technology used. Namely the electrostatic adsorption . Huh?!
Due to the crystalline structure in the filter medium (tissue) that generates a strong positive charge, viruses and bacteria are adsorbed. Because they have a negative charge. Aha!

wait a minute – what does the soul filter actually consist of?
The soulfilter consists of the following components: mouthpiece, hose and filter unit. You can reuse the mouthpiece and hose over and over again, only the filter unit needs to be replaced regularly.
The mouthpiece with the hose consists of Silicone , which is made from silicon (quartz sand) and synthetic polymers. Silicone is very robust due to its material properties and therefore extremely durable - your mouthpiece will therefore last you a long time. It also sets no microplastics free and no petroleum is used in production.
The filter casing consists of 100% recycled plastic, which was originally used as packaging in medicine. Used only once, it therefore has perfect properties. It is free from harmful substances and safe to use with food . If you're wondering: plastic and soulbottles? We always try to take the most sustainable route and with the help of the soulfilter, a large amount of disposable plastic can be saved. By using recycled polypropylene (PP), garbage is also turned into something useful! Did you pay close attention above and notice how much disposable plastic you save per filter?
(Psst… it’s 6 kg!)
PS The mouthpiece (the You can also use the soulcap without a filter on any soulbottle, so you have a practical drinking attachment for children or when doing sports. It can also be purchased separately.
