The flow rate is just as good as my Sawyer Squeeze, which is impressive for such a small unit. So, the bottom line is - works as well as the Squeeze (though probably needs back flushing more often) and works exactly the same as the Squeeze (if you get the dual threaded version). BUT... it's small and comes in (on my scale) at a little less than half the weight. Win, win, win.
Bought this for a trip to Europe and it works great! This along with the collapse bag are ideal for situations where you are skeptical of the water source. I now have 3 sawyer filters!
Only a few hours of trouble-free use, then stopped flowing water despite back-flushing as directed. Previous Sawyer filter had same problem and didn’t respond to hot water and vinegar back flushing. Needs to be much better.
