Quick item summary
Quick answer
The Filtering Bottle is a specialized water container in DayZ used to store and purify water while drinking. When a survivor drinks from it, the bottle removes Cholera and Heavy Metal Poisoning pathogens from the water. Unlike Chlorine Tablets, it does not clear water of Common Cold, Influenza, Salmonella, or PO-X Poison. The bottle has limited durability and loses condition as water is consumed, making it useful but not permanent.
