Since this is a hollow-fiber membrane filter, it is recommended that you keep it warm in near-freezing temperatures. The dirty side has a screw-on cap that fits tightly enough for me to not worry about water leaking out while the filter is stored. The clean end has a hinged cap that appears to be quite durable and shows no signs of breaking off (this was a concern of mine when I first got the QuickDraw). They get rid of bacteries, protozoans and viruses.THE CAPS: The QuickDraw comes with a cap on both the clean and the dirty end of the filter.
