great filter/purifier Owner for six years. Used it under trying conditions in hiking and camping trips in Ghana, Africa. Easy to use and travel with. Never failed and I never got sick. Left it in Africa and purchased a new one yesterday. Strongly recommended. Bullet proof.

Works Great I recently partook it a 3 day backpacking trip and the other members were using Iodine tablets to filter water. I used the the SweetWater Microfilter and it worked excellent! By the end of the trip, everyone was drinking my water.

Good value... keep it in your pants! My friends and I used this filter hiking the Appalachian Trail in NJ this January. The filter worked great the first time, although all the hoses and connections are a pain to deal with in the cold. This lead to my next problem which was that the filter element froze solid after the first use. I had to put the filter in a ziplock bag and in my pants to thaw it out and keep from freezing. That was a real pain, however not a reflection of this filter design. I imagine all the filters would have frozen up.
