MSR Sweetwater Microfilter Water Filter

MSR Sweetwater Microfilter Water Filter - Pumping water through the Sweetwater filter is easier than with any other filter. This is due to a unique pump handle with a 4 to 1 mechanical advantage, you'll be able to filter 1.25 liters of water per minute without feeling exhausted when you're done. As with all filters, when purifying extremely dirty water your filter cartridge will start to clog slowing you're flow rate. The Sweetwater is field maintainable without tools so your filter will always perform at its best. Nothing purifies quite like a Sweetwater. Microfilter Protection eliminates over 99.9999% of all waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of common protozoan parasites, such as giardia and cryptosporidium. Super compact, the filter handle will fold flat when not in use freeing up more room in your pack. And best of all, it's made in the USA! Package includes: SweetWater microfilter, 80-micron stainless-steel prefilter, (2) color-coded silicone hoses, foam float, water bottle adapter, cleaning brush, and stuff sack.

The Sweetwater is one of the best microfliters I've ever used, easy to operate and when I forgot to dry out the filter after one trip and mold built up in the filter I just boil the filter and it worked just like new.
