Description
The Outback Ready Emergency Water Filter is bundled with an additional replacement filter kit, giving you a second complete set of filtration components to have on hand when the first set needs replacing.
Proven Use Around the World
According to company history, Outback systems have been used for more than two decades by the Peace Corps and by other missionary groups and NGOs providing emergency and relief services. Watch this video about the Outback to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCsDmUITWPo
Designed for Emergency Preparedness
Rugged, portable, and gravity-powered, the Outback Ready is designed for emergency preparedness, disaster response, remote locations, base camps, and other situations where electricity and pressurized water may not be available. It can treat visually clear freshwater from streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, springs, collected rainwater, and untreated stored freshwater.
Third-Party Tested Performance
The Outback Ready uses a four-stage filtration process and has been third-party tested for microbiological reduction, including >99.9999% bacteria reduction, >99.99% cyst reduction, and >99.99% virus reduction. Its filtration media also reduces chlorine taste and odor and a range of other contaminants. See the Outback test results for complete performance data and testing conditions.
How It Works
No electricity or pressurized water connection is required. Pour source water into the upper chamber through the pre-filter net. Gravity moves the water through the four-stage filtration system and into the lower chamber, where the filtered water is ready to dispense.
More Than 24 Gallons Per Day
The gravity-fed Outback Ready can filter more than 24 gallons of water per day, making it a practical option for families, groups, emergency preparedness, and remote locations. Actual output can vary based on source-water quality, filter condition, and operating conditions.

Works great for dirty water in Tanzania!
"I sent my friend in Tanzania an Outback Plus filtration system since his water is seriously contaminated. He and his wife made a video comparing the water from his faucet with the water he dispensed from the Outback."
Emergency water supply.
"Looks great, hopefully will never need it."
Great service.
"I ordered the Outback Plus system for emergency situations and it gives me peace of mind that we will be prepared in the event of an outage."
Purchase the system for when
"Purchase the system for when the shit hits the fan! I have a water source but it’s not pure. This system hopefully will do what your marketing system says it will? Anyway, thanks, hope I don’t dehydrate? Lol!"
It filters pool water!
"Living in a State that has tropical storms amd hurricanes, being surrounded by salt water, I needed a way to filter my chlorinated pool water in emergencies. You just never know. Tbe assembly of the Outback Plus was a breeze. I did a pool water test, and it removed ALL the chlorine! From 6ppm to ZERO. Our family feels much safer now that we have an unlimited source of fresh water in an emergency."
Excellent Service!
"Excellent Service!"
Solid & Quickly Shipped
"Solid Product, thank you."
Q&A
- I have had this system for about a year or so. Is it normal to see black sediment at the bottom where there should be filtered water? It was so gross. I am scared to even buy another set because I dont want to waste money on it for it to not actually filter.
- Thanks for reaching out. What you’re seeing is most likely harmless carbon sediment from the filter. This can happen if the filters weren’t thoroughly flushed before use. The system uses activated carbon, and a small amount of black particles can come loose initially. We recommend removing the filters and flushing them well, then running and discarding 1–2 full batches of water. After that, it should run clear. This isn’t a failure of the system—just a common setup step that can be missed. If you still see buildup after flushing, feel free to reach out, and we’ll help further.
Q:
What is included with the Outback Ready PLUS Extra Filter Kit bundle?
A:
The bundle includes one complete Outback Ready gravity filtration system plus a second full replacement set: net filter, sleeve filter, OB-PF7 nano-electrostatic cartridge and OB-RF10 multi-media cartridge. It is ready for initial setup and a future full filter change.
Q:
Does the Outback Ready system require electricity or water pressure?
A:
No. Water moves through the four filtration stages by gravity, so no outlet, batteries, plumbing connection or pumping is required. Fill the upper chamber and collect treated water in the lower chamber.
Q:
How much water can the Outback Ready produce?
A:
Under typical conditions it can process up to about 24 gallons per day. Actual flow varies with source-water clarity, filter condition and temperature; pre-screening visibly turbid water helps maintain flow.
Q:
What water sources can I use with the Outback Ready?
A:
It is intended for visually clear freshwater from sources such as streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, springs, rainwater and stored untreated freshwater. It is not intended for saltwater, chemically contaminated water or water with fuel or toxic industrial runoff.
Q:
How large is the Outback Ready when assembled?
A:
The assembled unit is approximately 24 inches high by 11.75 inches in diameter and weighs about 6.75 pounds empty. The compact gravity design makes it suitable for emergency storage, camping and off-grid use.
Q:
When should the extra Outback filter set be installed?
A:
Install the replacement components when flow remains slow after routine rinsing, media capacity is reached or the recommended service interval is reached. Service life depends heavily on source-water quality and volume, so store the spare set sealed until needed.
