About MSR MiniWorks/WaterWorks Replacement Ceramic Element
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
82% praised for its long-lasting durability, while 18% experienced a shorter lifespan
I find the product to be fragile, but it works fine.
I accidentally broke the ceramic insert while cleaning the filter, which was used only once. This indicates that the product may not be durable enough.
The filter can clog fast when filtering water with silt, and it is tedious to clean the silt off after every session.
87% appreciated its easy cleaning, while 13% found it high maintenance
Cleaning the silt off the filter after every session can be tedious. However, I have found a solution to this problem by rubber-banding a coffee filter around the intake, which has solved the issue.
81% found it easy to use
I love this product because it is easy to maintain in the field and provides excellent, palatable drinking water.
86% appreciated its effectiveness, but 14% questioned its effectiveness
I have filtered water from the Salmon river in Idaho that was full of snow melt, sand, dissolved granite and lots of fish residue. The filter works really well as the filtered water was clear as crystal and tasted good.
I took the cartridge out of the housing to let it dry after the test, but it suddenly popped out, bounced off the counter, and smashed on the kitchen floor. This shows that the product is not effective.
73% liked its lightweight and compact design
I have hiked more than 1000 miles with the filter, proving its portability.
The MSR Mini-works is portable and can be used for everything from occasional weekend car camping to four-night backpacking trips.
I appreciate the portability of this filter and its ability to replace components in the field if necessary.
79% praised for its fast water flow rate
I filtered water from the Salmon river which was full of snow melt, sand, dissolved granite and lots of fish residue. The filtered water was clear as crystal and tasted good.
I have used the product to clean water from different sources like lakes, rivers, and standing pools of desert flood water.
73% liked its ability to filter large quantities of water
I bought the second filter as a backup, indicating that the first filter was sufficient for my needs.
