miniworks EX Micro Filter

I pumped many liters of water through this and had to replace the filter. The second was going strong before it was washed away in a flood! Even after daily use for the best part of two years the filter showed no signs of age. They are an absolute workhorse of a filter. The only problem really is that if you are filtering water which has a lot of sediment the filter gets blocked quickly and needs cleaning. However, this isn't too difficult and can be done in the field. You just need to take care not to cross-contaminate the filtered section with the dirty one. Note that you really need to scrub the filter so you actually remove a layer of the filter because this also removes the blocked pours. I highly recommend this filter. It removes everything from the water accept for viruses and even bad tastes from treated or unpleasant water sources. I used it in the wild but also in cheap hotel rooms and from tap water from gas stations etc, it never let me down and I never got sick in over three years of travel in Latin America.

As expected

Will be handy to have

fairly big but very easy to use and good quality as are most things MSR

£80.00 might seem a little expensive but this will last a lifetime. I never leave for the wild without it. The extra weight in your pack pays for itself after just one litre of water pumped. I do not have ANYTHING bad to say about his product. MSR thank you.P.S. The taste of the water this pumps out is so pure and clean it's almost clinical. You might just think water is water but when it's this pure, it really IS just water! I've filtered some nasty stuff with this and still tasted great.

A great bit of kit that is a must when in the wilds. Have used it with a group of 20 and it couped well

Watched plenty of Youtube videos before purchase. Very happy.

Great!! What's the red clip on the bottom for??
