MSR SweetWater Microfilter

Item #CAS0480 | 12 in Stock
5 Star Rating

This filter is Sweet!

By Backcountry.com Alumni April 6, 2007

I have used this filter in Denali National Park, The Uinta's, San Rafael Swell, and Zion National Park, and this filter is very easy to assemble, easy to pump into a reservoir or Nalgene, and stores in a hurry as well. This very quickly filled 2- 32 0z Nalgene's, a 64 oz water container for cook water, and both our bladders in our frame packs.I have used this alot on Dayhikes too, and this will even with a coffee filter over the filter will pump silt filled water. I would not ever consider using another water filter for backpacking.
