Do not let it freeze

By Ranked #412 - Trail Running Hydration March 10, 2010

I have this filter works great above 32 degrees. started the AT this year until I got snowed out in the smokeys. Even with the filter in my bag at night and wrapped in layers in my pack during the day I still managed to let it freeze. Did the dye test and failed right away.

I have had to filter cartidges that clogged when I filtered water closed to freezing temperature. When I got back home to more normal water temperatures it worked just fine. Anyhow, it's a great product and it puts out a lot of water in almost no time (if the temperature is right I guess).
