Love It - Works Easily - Great Size For 3-4 People

Used it backpacking in CO last summer. really convenient. Nice to drop weight by no longer carrying a pump.

Ideal Lightweight Clear Water Processer

I'm quite attached to my multi-branded frankenstein of a gravity filter, with its 5L roll-top resevoir, inline filter, custom hose length and water bladder quick connector. Jealousy struck me, however, when a friend whipped out this setup. It's about as bare bones as you can get and still process and/or transport a solid volume. I like the handle for hanging to drip into a bottle. It's easy to drink out of too. Like other similar gravity filters it plugs easily with silty or very dirty water. The bladder is prone to pinhole leaks and leakage around the seals. It is choice for saving weight and treating clear water when boiling or chemical treatment isn't ideal. I would like a way to connect it to a bottle or reservoir, maybe with a hose, but admit that I might be missing the point.

I have used the Microfilter on multiple backpacking trips this summer (2024) and it has proven to be much more convenient than my old pump style filter system. It is lighter, faster, and less effort. Highly recommend.

Great For Car Camping With The Family

My wife and I do a lot of backpacking - never in our life would we need something as big as this. Now with the introduction of our daughter who is now 1.5 years old, this made primitive camping so much easier without worry about having to hump in gallons of water. Tastes great, filters fast, and easy to clean - 10/10 would recommend!

It Wouldn't Work At One Point...

I really wanted to give this more stars, but since I had issues with it on my last backpacking trip, I couldn't. I was in the Grand Canyon, and it just would not GO...at all. Not sure what I was doing wrong. So, I packed it all back up and decided to figure it out later at my campsite. It suddenly started working. I'll need to look up some trouble-shooting tips. Pros: It's light and can filter 3 L of water at a time. Cons: Sometimes doesn't work. Filtering is very slow.
