Solid

Ranked #416 - Water Filters
March 1, 2007
Pros: reliable, great tasting water, very solid.
Cons: heavy, expensive, water gets stuck in the filter after use and is very difficult to get it out
Other notes: Does not pump at 1L/min, maybe 0.4-0.6L/min.
I used it for a 7 person group for an 8 day hike, so it's definitely heavy duty.
I give it 4/5 only because of the trapped water issue, otherwise it's an amazing filter.
