Works great!, Recommend!! Nov 17, 2008
Best priced filter, was going to buy from REI, best price was here. Remember when using for the first time to rinse through to clean off the filter carbon dust! Enjoy!
 not built to withstand the environment Nov 14, 2008
i purchased this filter in the spring, and have been section hiking the AT and the connecticut Blue Trail system since, i always carried the filter even for a quick day hike and was glad to have it on several occasions. however after filtering about 30 gallons of water (accumulatively) it became very difficult to pump, so i replaced the cartidge and gave the entire unit a good cleaning the next time i used it was on a 4 day section of the AT and the handle broke off on the first pump after looking at it for a few minutes i was able to figure out that the handle had been breaking for quite some time and that was the reason the pumping got more difficult and the plastic continued to weaken until it finally broke. i contacted the company and found out that i could not replace the handle so i returned it to the store, and purchased a lever style filter that was completely rebuildable. this is a great filter and works well except it apparently only has a 1 year life span so if you would like to buy a new flter every year then this is the one for you! but if you want a filter that is desgined to last multiple lifetimes and be completely rebuildable then keep looking, dont even consider this filter, no stop, im serious i can see you, your thinking how bad can it be, but trust me its that bad!
 Water filter Oct 13, 2008
This thing works great (at least I haven got sick from drinking any water filtered thru it). It's east to use and seems to be very well designed. I'm totally happy with it!
Amazing what can I say!!! Aug 11, 2008
Well this product is just.....WOW!!! I filtered water from a creek that was just gross, the water was nasty looking and every thing about it just turned me away but I gave it a try just to put it to the ultimate test. I filtered the water once and tasted it. The water was clear, fresh and tasted real good. Katadyn really knows what they are doing, just amazing!!!

Water tastes so bad you cannot drink it! Jul 18, 2008
I took this to Africa for a month and only got water that tasted so bad that no one would drink it. Ever try to find bottled water in the middle of Serengeti National Park? How about finding a replacement filter out amongst the Maasai?
It took two people to work: one to pump and the other to hold the bottles so that they did not keep falling over. Very awkward to use! It needs some design work and serious quality control testing!
