There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's very useful when we go backpacking. It's nice to be able to fill up our bladders or bottles and only have to carry what we need. Water is extremely heavy when you have no way of filtering and have to carry all of your water with you.
It's very easy to use and we've used ours on many trips! It has a foam floater by the intake so it doesnt drop into any sediment, making the filter last longer.
Once we get home always remember to take it apart and wash it out and let it dry!
Great for the price! And the piece of mind.
Easy to use, lightweight to pack, and easy to clean/store. Highly recommend this to any fellow backpacker! Can’t wait to use it again this weekend!
Weight is acceptable. Pre filtering appears to keep most of the crud out of the mountain water I usually filter, so these things last a long time for me. Packs well, drains before packing with a few strokes. Can get to water in hard to reach places, and it's quite fast. Just a few minutes for two 1 liter bottles and a gallon water canteen for camp. I move too fast to want to rely on any gravity system and in the end these things are just a matter of hair. If you pack them, use them, or they are just dead weight. This one is easy, and combined with bottles that don't tip over makes a great filter system for me. That's what matters. I don't count ounces on things that are essential for daily trail living. It
The pump shaft and filter are pretty easy to service - I keep it lubed and the pump will go smoothly. none of that was related to my last unit's failure. I assume it was just a flapper valve that let go, something you cannot service deep inside the plumbing between pump and filter housing.
This unit shows the filter through clear plastic - not sure what that adds over the last model, but it can't hurt to see what goes on around the filter (e.g. water still in it). To get a 5 star review, the ridiculous filter cartridge price needs to come down, though. There's some pleated fiber material between two plastic ends - how can that be so expensive to make compared to the rest of the filter? The pricing of these filters in general is far too high for what they are. Clearly aimed at the recreation market. I'd like to one day find a filter that works like this unit but doesn't come with the recreational equipment markup.

A few improvements were made to this filter since my last purchase. One of them being that the hose connected to the base of the filter now has a connector which stops it from bending and restricting the flow of wather into the filter itself.
The filtered water is very good with no suspended particles to be seen. An important aspect as well is that the repalcement filters are affordable as well!
Happy with this product!
