"I researched many water filters and read many reviewers complaining about ceramic filters clogging - even after just 100 oz of water (my camelbak, basically). The need to pull apart a ceramic filter in the field and scrub on it after so little water was not a plus; then there's the weight.

Then I came across this filter.

It's so simple to use, lightweight - and can be cleaned merely by backflushing with clean water (& in my experience it lasts long enough between cleanings it can be done at home).

While some worry about breaking or freezing, this is a tool - just like my GPS or camera; these things do need to be given care.

My final PLUS: While a ceramic filter eliminates everything, including taste - this gets rid of the waterborne nasties without getting rid of taste.

I swear there's nothing more appealing on a hike or camping trip, than tasting the water around you.

Without meaning to perhaps, the MSR Hyperflow Microfilter has added another element to my outdoor experience that I had never realized I was missing out on - taste!"

Filtering water from a glacier: Amazing taste!
