Primarily you get a huge flow rate of 1.7 litres per minute, making this ideal for those who want to filter a lot of water quickly. You also get an inlet pipe that has a prefilter and a float, and you can screw the filter to a "Sigg" or "Nalgene" style water bottle. This makes using this unit fast and very easy to use.
