PROVEN WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

Gravity Power

The Outback Ready gravity water filter uses a 4-stage nanofilter to deliver filtered drinking water in any emergency— with no power needed.

Superior Efficiency

A single Outback emergency water filtration system produces up to 1,800 gallons of filtered drinking water—about the same as seven pallets of bottled water. That’s why disaster relief teams have trusted the Outback gravity-fed water filter for over 20 years.

Easy to Use

Be prepared to provide your family safe drinking water with an Outback Water filtration system. They’re easy to set up, simple to store and ready to perform under any condition.

Effective

Third-party testing of the complete filtration configuration reports 99.9999% bacteria reduction, 99.99% cyst reduction, and 99.99% virus reduction

High Capacity

The Outback Ready is rated to produce up to 24 gallons per day under suitable conditions. Replacement schedules differ by component: the Purifying Filter has a six-month service reference, while the Refining Filter is replaced after 1,800 gallons or 12 months of use, with earlier replacement required in the conditions specified by the manual. Do not treat one component’s capacity as the life of the entire filter set. Review the Outback’s component replacement and storage requirements.

Compact Design

This compact emergency water filtration system stores and assembles easily. All filters and components are kept dry inside a sealed 2-gallon bucket, which fits neatly inside another 5-gallon bucket for convenient, ready-to-use storage.

Tested and trusted by those tested and trusted.

Natural disasters and humanitarian crises are an unavoidable part of life — and when filtered water becomes scarce, dedicated people step in to help. For over two decades, Outback systems have supported that work: the Peace Corps, missionary groups, and NGOs worldwide have relied on them to deliver emergency water and relief services to communities in need.
