I have a Platypus Platy 1L bottle with the closure cap and some of the 1 micron polyester fabric. How could I effectively use the fabric with the bottle to screen out random junk in the water? I though about getting another cap and hollowing the top out so I could stretch the fabric over it or using the fabric as a tampon in the mouth but I don't think either are really great ideas. What else could I do? Thanks.

1. LW Plastic funnel with a tube on the bottom.
or
2. Cuben or plastic sheet funnel shaped from a square as below with a PEX slip fit plumbing connector on the bottom. If you do it right the oring will seal the bag to the fitting, and shove a tube into that.
or
3. Half of a plastic bottle and cap, drill a hole in the cap, put a PEX connector into the cap and hose it.Shape funnel out of a square of your fabric to fit.
