works but clogs in cloudy water

Katadyn Siphon Filter

Rating for this product: 3 June 24, 2008

Yes, the siphon works, but in even mildly cloudy water in a river running full with late spring runoff it clogged within an hour to only a few drops per minute. Filling a 5 gal jug took overnight and all day. Multiple cleanings with the supplied pad was necessary to restore the flow. After 5 days of repeated cleanings - lightly as possible - the filter diameter was at the minimum necessary for safe filtration. Total volume of water filtered: about 30 gallons. Use it when you need it, but beware of its limits.
