Has anyone experienced leftover water in the filter? I can't figure out how to get it out, even after I pump it for a long time. Help please

I had the same issue with mine. After I cleaned it at home, and left the filter to dry, the excess water drained out. Not very helpful in the field as I would not want take the filter out of the container until I it is safe at home.

I think your going to have leftover water in here any time you use it. Without the inflow tube submerged in water, you will be pulling air into the filter. This will cause you to loose the pressure needed to move the water through the filter and through the ouflow tube. I would take the filter apart and pour it out before you pack it away for an extended time. While in the field, simply pump till no water comes out and save it in your storage sack until you use it again.
