Information for you before you buy

The upside is that this filter fil..." Read Full Review »

"I just got done hiking the Appalachian Trail, and carried the Hyperflow from Troutdale, Virginia to Maine. (about 1700 miles) I hated every minute I had to use this awful pump. I was replacing an older MSR miniworks, which was twice the weight and moved a very low volume of water. Because of the …" Read Full Review »
