hi, i see that jeff put an 18 in plastic hose on the drinking end of the cartridge. did you simply attach a platypus drinking hose or did you go to the hardware store? and how does the hose attach to the cartridge?

The tube is actually 12" long not 18.

Rather than destroy the original clean side water tube by cutting it in half, I called Cascade Designs & they sent me a whole new tube which I cut to 12" & attached the black plastic shut off, which they also included. I then attached this new tube assembly to the clean side, white nipple connector, on the filter. This eliminates the clean water bag & saves about three ounces. I'll post a photo.
