      Comments about Platypus GravityWorks Carbon Element:

      This is a nice addition to the already great gravityworks filter. It is probably about 2.5 inches long and only weighs a little over 1oz. Note that it does slow down the filter. After adding this mine takes a little more than twice as long to filter water. Even with the lower throughput this is the fastest and easiest filter I have ever used. I carry the carbon element along with the filter but only use it if I am filtering nasty water that wouldn't taste good on its own. It is very easy to attach in line with the filter so I can choose when I need to use it and attach or remove it without any trouble.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
