Great Filter

Works as intended Very easy to clean Simple to use Only thing I wish it had was a way to stop water flow without the tubing. Maybe there is a cap from Katadyn? The ability to use it without a filter would be nice, too.

My Standby

Been using Katadyn BeFrees for years, pack the 3.0 liter away for camp, use smaller one during the day. Thicker material is better, as I regularly got pinhole leaks from impatiently squeezing to move water through recalcitrant filters. Wish they could do something about that, since the detach and swish "fix" doesn't really do the job. Pro Tip: bring an extra filter in case you lose one or it gets hopelessly clogged.

Works Great…

This size was on flash sale so the price was enticing enough to give it a try. For backpacking - which is what I purchased this one for - I’d probably get one a little smaller. On the plus side since it holds a lot I can fill it at the water source, bring it back to camp, hang it and use it for quite awhile. It works pretty well as a gravity filter, too. Closing the cap while it’s hanging squirts water on you - be careful! Opening is pretty small so having a cup to fill t at the source is helpful. Super easy to use…

Basically like a platypus gravity filter but BeFree. I like the ease and convenience of this set up. it makes filtering lots of water a quick process.

Easy to use. Size is great for 2 people camping together- you can get 2 cups of coffee and breakfast all from one bag which is a big convenience. Easy to clean and holding up well a year later!
