I bought this many years ago and never realy used it. I believe it's the Explorer model, but I have no paper work on it. Pulled it out the other day and took it apart. Smelled just like Bleach. I pumped some water thru it and tasted it and it was fine. I then pulled it apart and put it back together only to have it not pump. I belive a little piece of rubber inside the lower cover where the water enters and exits the unit has come loose but is still partially attached. I belive that i could be fixed w/ silicone, though if, not there are some good parts here. They don't make cartridges for this any more but I belive this one to be in new condition and just fine. After testing it a few weeks ago I pulled it apart and dried it above the wood stove for 3 days. I will send this to you for shipping if you want, it.
Should be fairly cheap. Let me know if you want it.

Apeman,
Where was this a couple weeks ago...I just bought 2 like it.lol
Yes it is an Explorer and you can still get filters for them.
$44.95 free shipping..the guide filter will also fit. The bottom piece is replaceable with a bottle attachment piece for about $9.00.
Someone in need of an water pump get it quick..I paid $40 a piece for mine..
