User Review: MSR SweetWater Microfilter

MSR SweetWater Microfilter
Above: The current SweetWater Microfilter, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: ???

PROS: Minimal weight and bulk. Relatively efficient water filter. Recommend using the sediment prefilter to prolong filter life and efficiency. Routine cleaning with the provided brush prolongs life of filter cartridge. Multi-fit water bottle outlet end.

CONS: Not really a con, but the pumping mechanism on my ?+ year old unit broke. The section inside the cartridge. This is after going through two filter cartridges over a few years' of use. The bad was I was in Venezuela with a broke unit. The good was it still mas o meno worked, but only on the downstroke.

Bottom line: I'm buying a replacement. Why? The unit is functional under extreme conditions. The unit is simple and durable. Plus I have already have a backup filter cartridge.
