These are in my opinion the best on the market. No they do not leak. Just replace the O ring as you replace filters and you’ll be fine, I personally always take a back up when I’m out for more than two days, but have never had any problems. **Q: How small does it fold down to?** A: about the size of wide rim double shot glass **Q: Can you purchase the 1L softflask by itself? Mine got punctured.** A: Thanks for your question. The 1L flasks are not for sale by themselves but our Katadyn customer service team would be happy to work with you in regards to your punctured flask. Please email us here: cs@katadyn.com. Alternatively, the Hydrapak Seeker 3L and 2L are compatible with the befree filter and are good options. **Q: Can i screw the filter on another water bottle?** A: The Katadyn BeFree filter can fit on any 42mm threaded bottle. Hydrapak's 750ml Stash, or any of their Seeker flasks are a good example. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swiss made - top notch stuff. *by S***W on 8 July 2025* Please read manual before using - seriosuly do - amazing product used for 2 majar treks. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best water filter system. *by R***A on 3 April 2021* It came really handy during my Everest trek. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient Water Filter *by J***I on 9 February 2023* It does exactly what it says.
