MSR MiniWorks EX Water Filter

I have one of these, though I didn't buy it here. This is a really good filter, in my opinion. But it doesn't perform all that well in very silty/muddy water. The pores in the ceramic filter get clogged and it must be cleaned with the included piece of scotchbrite. It can handle some dirt in the water, but not a whole lot. Having said that, I've found this to be a great little filter. Four stars

I’m not entirely sure what was going on in the previous review. I spent a week with mine in the Frank Church with no issues. My water was crystal clear, no smells, no off taste...honestly it was perfect. It’s not the fastest filtration system...but it ain’t the slowest either...and my water was perfect. Clean the ceramic filter every other use and it’s just as fast as any other filter. It takes 60 seconds to clean it.

Do not buy this. goHUNT should remove this product. If your lucky you can filter 1 liter per hour. I took this on a DIY backpack hunt in Alaska. Good thing my buddies had good filtration systems. Had this been my only water filtration source...I would have been in BIG trouble. WARNING DO NOT BUY!!!
