This compact, lightweight unit filters up to 200 gallons of water without clogging. The filter physically removes particles, protozoa, and bacteria down to 0.3 microns in size, including giardia, salmonella, cryptosporidium and others. A glass-fiber element is pleated for increased surface area to handle silt and muddy water. Activated carbon core adsorbs chemicals and pesticides to improve taste of water. Pre-filter at hose inlet filters to 150 microns, removing larger contaminants before they reach the main filter to increase its life span.

Untitled ReviewNot everything about this filter is five stars however. The pump while not hard to use would benifit from a lever set up to make pumping easier. The inlet could be weighted a bit more so that it sinks more easily, it has a tendency to float out of the area you want to filter from. Also while the hoses are sufficient in length longer hoses would allow you to stand while filtering.
I have had the same filter for over 6 or 7 years so it is very durable.
