@tritan1 2 years on I still like it. My only issue is that the more you use the filter, the harder it is to back flush it. The flow slows down a bit as the filter get used, but is still acceptable. I've had no problems with it. I've had plenty of water to drink and haven't been sick.
if you want to make that system better..keep everything you show in this video but throw away your MSR filter and replace it with a FirstNeed filter which removes VIRUSES...MSR cant do that! But I have a very similar system but wont use anything but a FirtsNeed..You dont need to add chemicals or boil your water with a FirstNeed system
Always love hearing/seeing your videos, partner. You've always got a lot of things to say that are pertinent and useful to us earth-walker types, lol. These gravity fed filters are a new innovative product that have really gotten popular these last couple of years. I'm still a pump man, though, because I need to draw liquid from sources, sometimes, but I can certainly appreciate the genius behind these filter designs. Thanks for a great review. And another on trail video soon, I hope? Thanks.
Good system and great demo - but I read that in addition to the reverse flow, you need to sterilize the filter after about 10 days of constant use - is this correct?
I was wondering about this system. Thanks for the information. I think I'll have to stick with a pump, though, 'cause a lot of my water sources are in shallow depressions, out in the desert, so I need a pump to suck it out. But it's good to know what my options are with this system, depending on hiking area. Another good video, partner. Thanks.
what do you think of the filter two years later? Are you still liking it and using or did you move on?
