      Comments about MSR SweetWater Filter Cartridge:

      I've had my Sweetwater pump for well over 20 years, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Living and hiking in the cascade Mt., I've never had a problem with silt. The water is usually clear and flowing. I did freeze the first filter for over 4 years, and the freezer taste in the purified water was bad. A replacement filter was cost effective, and all was good

        Comments about MSR SweetWater Filter Cartridge:

        I live near the Appalachain Trail. I watched witch filters were being used and asked to try a few before I purchased a Sweet Water. This was the most widely used filter I noticed on the trail. I have never had a problem. Filters last along time and are easy to clean. For the money it out performs other filters easily!

          Comments about MSR SweetWater Filter Cartridge:

          The case and filter are is one unit making filter replacement expensive. The plastic case cracked after limited use. I am not aware of any hard impacts, which might cause such failure. The unit should be able to handle typical backpacking use and abuse.
