MSR Autoflow Gravity Filter

By bob3167367 Ranked #262 - Water Filters July 28, 2009

I've backpacked in the California mountains for the past 9 years, and this is the best filter ever. I have carried pumps with paper cartdidges (never again) and I have carried MSR water pumps that have made excellant water and were easy to clean, but this new Autoflow was fantastic. We had a group of 7 and we were able to fill all our water bottles and get tents setup and meals prepared. There was a one-time learning curve about not putting the cap on the nalgene too tight (the air has to escape for the water to go in) and the same thing when backflushing the filter. Everyone wanted a turn using it and it is now back in the wilderness with a local Scout Troop, so I'll see how hardy it really is.
Thanks MSR.
