Does the filter ever get old? I have one of the "PUR" hikers before Katadyn took over. The filter was fairly new the last time I used it but it has not been used in about 5 or 6 years. Any need to replace the filter or the entire unit?

Your filter is already old but that doesn't have any effect on it's performance. As long as it pumps easily it's working fine. Pump some clean water through it before your next outing & evaluate the results.
