Review Title

By Mike Greene Ranked #229 - Water Filters August 21, 2009

I found that this pump was working well for me, until i have found the same flow problem with my filter. I have taken it to 3 overnight backpacking rips and one two nighter. I noticed that on the last trip, things started to slow down quite a bit. I have watched the videos and read all instrustions. I know how to buckflush properly, and have done so more that needed to prevent this loss in flow. I am going to try a new filter, but if it does the same thing, i will find another filter. Also MAKE SURE to backflush AWAY from the water. The little black valve can fall out and roll into the creek. IT DOES NOT FLOAT!! All in all, i find this filter to be enough for a single backpacker who is looking to save weight.
