2017 Original entry: Very lightweight and easy to assemble on the go. Seems to have done everything I needed it to. Able to drink creek water and its clear and tastes fine. And no parasites as of yet so thats a plus
2022 Update: Bought this in 2017 for miscellaneous hiking trips. Turned lake water into delicious drinking water. I usually hate the taste even of bottled or tap water but this water was good. Meanwhile, tossed in with my camping gear and forgotten for a while for unrelated reasons, I bought a house in 2020 with extremely hard water. It also has very dry air. I had set up multiple humidifiers but they were leaving a white film all over. I also have a meter that measures particulate matter PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 (used to measure air polution) that measures very small particles of things in the air and humidifiers can increase this when used with hard water. I'd used an under the sink filter, put that tap water into a Brita filter pitcher, and then tossed some doodad into the humidifier thats supposed to remove hard water minerals and even with all that the meter still showed the PM levels rising when the humidifier was running. Remembered I had this filter in with my gear and pumped some water into the humidifier and low and behold the numbers are staying steadily low, not increased even one digit from what it is when the humidifier is off. I'm absolutely blown away. Multiple other filters in succession couldn't do what this filter did by itself. 100% recommend, so much so that I had to come update an already 5 star review just to mention this. You can bet I'll be buying backups of this.
