"The first time I used one of these was in the dirt laden Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. It took me maybe 15 minutes to pump a liter of water...but if you've ever seen the Colorado River, you'd know why. This filter filtered out every little microscopic bit of sediment that the Colorado threw at it. I've sense used it in Big Bend, the Great Smokey Mountains and the Black Hills of South Dakota. Still impresses me. Downside...it's a bit heavy and a little expensive when compared to other hand pump filters, but I've never used iodine/chlorine tablets and with this, I never will."
"You can buy good cheaper filters, but you will end up paying more on all the replacement filters to pump the same amount as this will pump with one. Consider that it filters down to .2 microns while others only filter to .3 then add in the quality construction and lifetime warranty. If this is not the filter in your backpack, your research leads you to a much different conclusion than ours did. If you come across water that you are concerned may contain viruses they don't live long carry some Katadyn micropur tablets. Pump is fast and easy to use!"
"just as good as i had expected and i expected the best! way to go katadyn. they have thought of everything needed to keep this pump maintained. lube for the the pump and a cleaning pad for the ceramic filter are included as well as a zippered bag in which to keep the water outlet to prevent it from becoming contaminated in storage. very happy and my arms will get in to good shape from putting this pump to use."
"This was my first water filter for individual and family use. We have used it for two years with not issues in water that was murky and clear. The cleaning kit is very helpful. The lifetime warranty is a great feature which guarantees the quality will remain throught out the years It is fairly heavy due to the metal body and ceramic filter. My biggest complaint is the priming handle is small and digs into the hand."
"Great product, extremely well made. You can feel quality as soon as you remove it from the box. A little heavy for a water filter, but it pumps easily and has a massive capacity that dwarfs most filters. If you need a water filter capable of providing safe H2O for two people or more, this filter is ideal and will last a long time."
