Trust this filter

This is a superb microfilter. Packs well, the quick connects are a nice feature, and the water tastes just fine. You even get to give your arms a little work out to boot. I've used this filter in Lake Michigan and had no icky problems with my innards, so I definitely trust in this filter. Smallest gripe I had was the re-sealable bag it came with to separate your input and output hoses ripped the moment I got it. Oh well, that's what ziplock bags are for!
