Used this filter in the Himalays of Nepal for 11 days on a trek to Annapurna. It was the sole source of clean water for 9 people and did a fantastic job. Keep the filter clean and be careful to not to pump with frozen lines. Read directions. It is very easy to use. Great filter and will use again.

I have used this filter on many multi day hikes and it has performed very well for me. I have had this filter for 2 years so far and would recommend this filter to anyone who will be spending a lot of time in the woods and needs to filter a lot of water. It will filter about 2 gallons of water before the ceramic filter needs to be washed, but it only takes about 10 minutes to clean it and it is ready for another 2 gallons.

We used the MSR EX filter during a 6 day trip in the Boundary Waters. The unit was routinely used by adults and teenagers to filter 1.5 gallon units of water. Because silt was occasionally an issue that caused hard pumping, the unit was repeatedly disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled without difficulty. Read the instruction manual carefully to understand the importance of cleaning of the foam prefilter and filter cartridge. The unit provided great service and a ready source of fresh water. No need to carry multiple bottles of water on a 500 rod rugged portage.

This works great with a standard Nalgene bottle. The ceramic filter is way less expensive than the Katadyn ceramic endurance series filter.

Dependable filter. Used by the US Marine Corp. What else needs to be said?
