A week without problems

By Shawn K. Ranked #205 - Water Filters September 30, 2009

I filtered for myself and allowed others to use my HyperFlow over a week in Yellowstone NP. A friend did the same with his HyperFlow, and neither one of us had any problems.

I benefited from a suggestion, though. I put an MSR SiltStopper II between the HyperFlow's pre-filter and main pump, and it definitely cut down on the need to backflush the HyperFlow. I'd guess my friend (without the SiltStopper) backflushed at least twice as much as I did during the trip. There's even enough room in the HyperFlow's included pouch to keep the pre-filter & SiltStopper in the mesh side, and the pump in the other.

I always take some Katadyn Micropur tabs as a back up, but I have no complaints with the HyperFlow.
