  • PÜRTREK LAUNCHES THE FIRST TREK POLE + WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM

    AT THE BIG GEAR SHOW IN UTAH THIS AUGUST 3-5TH, 2021

    Salt Lake City, Utah-- July, 2021-- After working tirelessly for almost four years, PurTrek, the first ever 2-in-1 trek pole water filtration system, will launch this August 3-5th at the Big Gear Show in Park City, Utah.

    This revolutionary outdoor product, a hiking/trek pole with a built-in pump style water filtration system provides easy access to hydrate instantly. Gone are the days of carrying a separate water filter and cumbersome filtration gear. Now you can lighten your pack and enjoy the benefits hydrating without the extra weight. 

    PurTrek founder and CEO, Kyle Springham remembers how he came up with the idea. “While leading a 21-mile backpack trip, I remember dreading the task to filter gallons of water for the scout troop,” explains Kyle.

    The question bubbled up. “What could be an easy and dependable yet simplistic option to hydration? And, That’s when the idea hit me!” That was the impetus to designing the first-ever trekking pole with a built-in water filtration system. PurTrek draws water from one end of the trek pole, through a filter, ready to drink.

    PurTrek’s design is durable and reliable. Constructed of 7075 aircraft aluminum with locking tabs and high strength durable polymer plastic, user-friendly telescope construction, a series of seals, valves and O-rings that ensures clean drinking water.

    PurTrek’s main filtration is a high quality Hollow Fiber filter. The same proven technology used by the largest and most successful brands on the market today. The Hollow Fiber filter removes 99.99% of waterborne bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella, and 99.99%

    waterborne protozoa, including giardia and cryptosporidium. The filter has the ability to also remove possible micro-plastics.

    Utilizing a two-stage filter system with a large particulate pre-filter located at the lower filter inlet, PurTrek delivers almost 2x more water per pump than its competitors, PurTrek filters up to 2000 liters per filter.  

    “As the first of its kind, I don't think NASA could have done better,” jokes Kyle. “My standards are very high and it was applied to every inch of our product.”

    Whether you are a hiker, backpacker, camper, angler, or simply walking in the woods, PurTrek trek + water filtration system trekking poles guarantees that you will stay hydrated by having access to clean water within seconds. And, the use of a strong, lightweight, trekking pole, it’s all-in-one.

    ...

  • PÜRTREK, the new innovative trek pole with a built-in water filtration system is the answer to your hydration needs when in the outdoors.

    Being outside and exploring the backcountry has become increasingly popular and staying hydrated during outdoor excursions is essential. We require substantial amounts of water (minimum of two liters/day).

    Unfortunately, water sources are often impacted by contamination from livestock or wild animals, or poor sanitation in developing countries. Additionally, water is heavy and quickly adds weight to your pack. It’s a common conundrum – how much water should I carry? Will I have enough or carry too much? 

    With these concerns in mind, Kyle Stringham, founder and CEO designed PURTREK, the first-ever 2-in-1 trek pole + water filtration system to provide a revolutionary solution that ensures hydration while experiencing the outdoors. Here are some technical features that make PURTREK an amazing, new product.

    HIGH QUALITY + STRONG VALUE – PURTREK poles are constructed of 7075 aircraft aluminum which is known for its light weight. PURTREK’s telescope design is durable coupled with a series of seals, valves and O-rings that guarantees clean drinking water.

    LIGHT WEIGHT & COMPACT POLES – Because PURTREK has a built-in water filtration system, it weighs a mere 19-ounces. This is astonishingly light. Especially, when there is a water filter available in the palm of your hand.  

    HIGH QUALIFTY FILTER: PURTREK’s main filtration is a high quality Hollow Fiber filter. The same proven technology used by the largest and most successful brands on the market today. The Hollow Fiber filter removes 99.999% of waterborne bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella, and 99.99% waterborne protozoa, including giardia and cryptosporidium. The filter has the ability to also remove possible micro-plastics.

"PURTREK is currently undergoing addtional extensive microbiological and interior water surface tests." explains Kyle. We have an important responsibility to our fellow outdoorsman and the industry to test our products randomly ensuring reliabilty.   

    FILTER LIFE: PURTREK will filter 2000 + liters of water

    QUICK LOCK & EXTENDABLE – PURTREK uses locking tabs that deliver excellent support. They are easy-to-use and dependable for holding the pole in place at the desired height. PURTREK poles range from 36”- 55,” standard length of a trekking pole. The extended length: 57” and collapsed length: 26” by easily removing the handle and lower section.
