MSR SweetWater Purifier System
Adequate, but Better Choices Out There

This is a good filter, when it worked. It makes good tasting water, and is easy to clean in the field. My main complaint was that it almost always failed me in the field. It would filter the first liter or two well, but after that it either pumped slow, required great force, or quite pumping all together. I have since replaced it with another brand filter, and have had no such problems with the new one. I always found a way to make it work, but it was so difficult at times that I would not recomend this filter to others.

I use a Steripen for the most part, but I do like the MSR Autoflow Gravity Filter. As far as pump filters go I like the Katadyn Hiker Pro.
