"On the 1st day of my backpacking trip I filtered clean running water with this filter and it worked great. The 2nd day of the trip I stopped to filter and the MSR Hyperflow was super hard to pump so I tried to backflush with the small amount of water I had left with no luck at all. We ended up boiling water for the rest of the trip and bad mouthing MSR for it. When I returned home I eventually got the filter to backflush which is a pain. The MSR Hyperflow does not pump as easy as it did when it was NEW. The documentation recamends taking a extra cartrige on longer trips, from my experience that means 2 days!

I'm not sure about the freezing, shake it dry. Dropping it?? It's a little weak but it is LIGHT.

I'll keep tring it and backflush the filter everytime, it takes time so that kills the super fast pumping time.

I knew it was too good to be true!"

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
