From Backcountry.com:
"Why did MSR's Hyperflow Microfilter win the 08 Backpacker Editor's Choice Award? It's super small (7 x 3.5in), super light (7.4oz), and it pumps three liters per minute. That means you can pack quick-filtering power without sacrificing weight or space on your fast-pace backpacking trips. The Hyperflow Microfilter's float end stays face-down in the lake or stream and won't clog up as you pump, and an included Quick Connect Bottle Adapter connects to MSR, Nalgene, and other bottles with 63mm threaded openings. No tools are needed to disassemble the Hyperflow Microfileter for on-the-go cleaning."

I have only used this filter in clean high Sierra water and followed the instructions on backflushing, but still found this filter USELESS after using it on a 6-night outing."

I took the HyperFlow to the Flat Tops Wilderness Area for 4 days. It was so fast that after the first trip to the creek for water, everyone in camp thought I had just dipped the bottles, bladders and a pot into the creek and returned to camp."

While reading the operating and maintenance book I found that it recommends back flushing the filter every 8 liters or once a day."
