It Works

Great for campsites where you can let gravity take its time to work

I use this on every camping trip! It's so easy to use and packs really small. I love being able to hang and drain, which doesn't take long at all. It's generally fast enough that I can just hold it up long enough.

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. UPDATE: I still have issues with this filter. I found that if I soak it in distilled water after every trip, it helps some. The first filtering is always the most frustrating.

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.
