5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Filter, Easy to Use, Need one more Hand
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2024
We had a 7-person backpacking group go on a 2-night, 10-mile trek in Arkansas. Day 1 didn't have any water sources until we finished 6 miles. This pump worked great to refill all our bottles (6+ liters). It went pretty quick and we didn't have any issues operating it. The water tasted clean and didn't have any aftertaste (we filled from creeks and the water looked clear and clean to begin with). We chose this one because it specifies 0.01 micron filtering vice some of the others just go down to 0.1 micron. Party members who used it included a 40+ year old man and an 11 year old girl. The outlet hose includes a little clip that's supposed to keep the hose in the container, but it didn't hook on to our Nalgenes or Smartwater liter bottles, so it really helped to have one person hold the outlet hose and while a separate person did all the pumping. This also helped quick transitions and fills for all our bottles. We also lost the little clip when one of the more enthusiastic youth swung the hose around to dry it out and it flew off the hose...so now it's a two-person job regardless.
