Rated 4 out of 5 by K&K from Best water system we've tried so far, with a few tweaks We took this out on a canoe trip this fall. It filters very, very fast..4L in just a couple of minutes if you hang it high. Our routine: We use a cloth bucket to scoop water from the lake, let it settle, and then scoop the water through prefilter into the dirty bag--keeps grit out of the system. 2. Then hang and voila! Water. 3. We fill up our Nalgene bottles for drinking, and use rest in the clean bag as a water sack for camp cooking and cleaning. Tip: Back flush *every* time (as the directions say) and it runs like a charm. NOTE FOR THE DESIGN TEAM: That ziplock zipper is WAY hard to seal, especially with cold hands.

Rated 3 out of 5 by pdxterrie from Does not come with adapters included in 2L kit Was surprised that the 4L kit doesn't include adapters for Nalgene bottles and MSR bladders. Must be purchased separately, although they are included in the 2L kit.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Trinity Santa from Filter element durability issues. I use this system in the back country of California and southern Oregon. The reservoir bags are tough, but the filter element is not. I have had to replace the element nearly every time I've used this system due to element failure.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kristin from Great filter. 4L in 4 minutes! But...impossible to close. This filter is amazing. 4L in about 4 minutes. It works very well in Montana. We've had it for years and the filter is still going strong. We've saved a lot of hikers who were spent from pumping or their filters just failed completely. So fast and easy - as long as you quickly backflush each time. Unfortunately, there is a deal breaker and here it is: the "zipper" closure on the dirty bag is impossible to get closed. I can't even do it. My husband has to do it and although he is strong, it's very very difficult. And if you can't get it closed, there is no vacuum and the filter won't work. Isn't there a better design or some sort of slide tool that can be offered to help close the bag?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nature Boy from Easiest Filtration Ever I used this for a week-long camping trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness last fall. It worked great. There were 3 of us, so we went through a lot of water. We must have filtered at least 40 gallons over the course of the trip. The large 4-liter design made it easy to get enough water to fill our bottles, cook and do dishes. It only took about 10 minutes to filter the entire bag. I've used pump filters before this and will never go back to them. We used a designated "dirty" Nalgene to fill the bag which made that a snap. I'd seen some reviews about the grommets pulling out on the dirty bag, so I stuffed it in a mesh bag that originally held 10# of onions for hanging. Problem solved. I highly recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cooker from Awesome Filter I have used this filter on 5 or 6 backcountry camping trips now. It just plain works. I love being able to just fill the dirty bag and let it do it's thing. It works surprisingly fast. Light and easy to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Earle from Buy it. Clean water clear mind. I set camp at 10800', water was at 10000'. I would filter clean bag, fill dirty bag and hike back to camp. Quick, easy, idiot proof. Invaluable tool. I enjoy all your gear. Well thought out, made well. I look forward to more vertical and more clean water for coffee.
