Overall Feedback:
86% positive
90% praised for its long-lasting durability
I used the filter on an overnight trip and it got down to low 30s without cracking.
I have used the filter for a long time and it has taken an unusually hard hit. However, the housing, pump, and everything else remained intact.
89% appreciated its easy cleaning, while 11% found it high maintenance
Cleaning and maintaining the filter is very easy to do. I followed the instructions prior to leaving days in advance to get the hang of it.
The filter is slow, which may be related to its ease of cleaning.
89% found it easy to use
This filter can be easily field stripped and re-assembled in the backcountry without any tools, indicating its ease of use.
92% appreciated its effectiveness
The filter effectively removes viruses, bacteria, giardia, and harmful chemicals. The charcoal inside the ceramic filter removes any weird taste.
I am impressed with the effectiveness of the water filter. It provides amazing water quality and can last for over 2,000 liters of water.
91% praised for its fast water flow rate
I used the stream to get water three times, filling about 1 liter the first day and 2 liters the second day. The flow stayed strong and it was very easy to do.
82% liked its ability to filter large quantities of water
The filter's weight is super manageable and not even noticeable when carried in my pack.
I use this filter for backpacking, camping, hunting, and even in Mexico because it is relatively small and lightweight.
