Dependable Simple Filter

By Ian Pickard Ranked #48 - Water Filters April 18, 2010

I bought this filter after having trouble with the First Need XL filter. I just used this filter on a 6 day trip in the Smoky's and had no problems. Filter never needed backflushing and is simple to clean while on the trail. The handle makes for a very simple and easy pumping action that doesn't tire your arm out. Nalgene bottles fit easy and the filter works with bladders. I would recommend that you pay a little extra for this filter becuase when you are on a trip you don't want to risk not being able to get water.
