Pretty Cool Water Tool

This seems to work pretty well... I'm planning on testing some creek water, before and after to see how it really holds up before I take it on the trail. The price was great and it doesn't seem easy to come by in the retail space. I would say it's a good find! I'd reccomend this to anyone who camps/hikes.

Efficient And Effective

Used this for 5 weeks on the GDMBR. Found the Classic 3 Purifier to be easy to use and effective. I have dealt with Giardia twice in my life. As a result, I very particular about my water treatment system. After considerable research and an understanding of water quality on the GDMBR, I decided this device would work for me. That said, I do have a couple of complaints. First is that you can only treat 1 liter of water at a time. This results in a longer process when have to purify multiple liters of water. The other is the lack of a battery life indicator. After a month of use the batteries were done and I was left with my primary purifying tool until my next resupply. Despite these complaints, I found this to be a great tool while bike packing; highly recommend.

Great Product But…

Make sure you keep any eye on the batteries. The button can activate in your backpack and kill the batteries. I take the batteries out of mine after each use so I don’t get in a bind again. Other than that the unit has worked flawlessly

Great Addition To My Hunting Kit

I got this because some places I hunt there are Cattle leases. The Sawyer squeeze filter left me worried about viruses in the creeks. Adding this on gave me piece of mind and it works great and is easy to use for anyone.

Useless

I hated this piece of junk, I threw it away after a couple uses. It felt flimsy and cheap and over all I was not impressed.
