SweetWater Microfilter

By ben wheeler July 29, 2005

I can attest to the simplicity of use for this filter. I used a surplus store filter for awhile and this Sweetwater kills it on the lever action pumping. I have had this filter for a couple of years now. It produces pretty good tasting water. I have certainly had worse. I haven’t had any serious issues with it. The filter does seem to clog up faster than I’d like, but the manufacturer’s 200 gallon per filter rating is probably pretty accurate. Those little cartridges can get pretty expensive if you go through a few each season. If you’d rather clean the cartridges than replace them, you might try the MSR ceramic filters. If you don’t mind buying a couple of cartridges every once in a while, I would recommend the Sweetwater.
