Customer Reviews
sweet and easy water filter
i bought this backpacking water purifier at the recommendation of a friend whose mother is a forest ranger in idaho. i absolutely love it! it is light weight and esay to use and never clogs! i have been on many a trip w/ folks who use other brands; they are all envious of the first need, even if it isn't "cool" looking, because it WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Used a previous version of this product
Bought two of these in 1990 for my wife and I, and used them across Africa, India and Indonesia over 15 months travelling (needed one spare cartridge per pump over this time). We were recommended them by some experienced travellers. They are "ugly and not made in Switzerland", but worked perfectly with some very dubious water and we never got ill from what we drank (we had a few problems with food now and then...) I'd buy another without a second thought. Recommended.
Life saver!
Surrounded by water and none to drink! Not with this baby. It may sound unconventional but I tried this out in my stagnant rain barrel and it is amazing (a little disconcerting still). Water tasted like it was out of a bottle. With the threat of tornadoes, hurricanes, floods etc. clean water is never a sure thing but it is a must. Hopefully you never have to, but you can trust this little baby if you have to.
