I would buy this product again and again. Don't stop making!

I love this water filter and so do the two companions with whom I camped for a week. Easy to use and clean. Very packable. Excellent tasting filtered water.

Just what the filter doctor ordered!

Works like a charm on my old SweetWater filter. Thanks, MSR, for keeping this product around

Feels like I got a whole new filter

Glad I finally got around to getting the replacement - it had been several years (way too long) with the old one, and the trip to Sand Dunes last year finally put it under. With the new filter the pump works like brand new all over again.

They still make the cartridges.

Wish the Sweetwater was still available but I'm glad you still provide filter cartridges for it! I love my sweetwater.

Correct for older Sweetwater model though different color

I have owned an original Sweetwater water filter since about 1996. Works great. Periodically, I need new cartridges. I like to keep one spare on hand so I have a backup ready for use. Thank you to customer service for explaining that it is the same filter cartridge as before, now black exterior instead of white & red.

Yes!

This is the 2nd replacement filter we have purchased for our bulletproof MSR water filter. It never disappoints or fails!

Inferior

Doesn't seal properly on the bottom. About 2/3 of the water squirts out of the rubber gasket seal near the inlet hose. I largely fixed this by wrapping the gasket with a thin rubber band, but the point is that I shouldn't have to do that. In addition, the thread on the top is rotated, so that when the pump is fully attached, the handle can't be folded fully because it runs into the outlet port. On the plus side, it's black, just like the original.

Glad they still make this

I replaced a very old Sweetwater filter with this one. Good as new!

Still in use after 9 years!

I use this filter a few times a year, from backpacking and day-hikes, to week-long back country archery hunts. Aside from changing the filter cartridge once every couple of years, it's flawless! I love this filter! In my opinion, the only improvement would be a higher flow rate to make filtering for a group go quicker... but that's what MSR makes the AutoFlow Gravity filter for!

Great product and amazing customer service I recommend it!

I use this product for our annual elk hunts. No doubt in my mind when I use this filter that I will have fresh clean drinkable water.

Love this filter!

Have been a fan of this pump for years. In my opinion it's the easiest to pump of all that I have tried and very easy to clean.

MSR Sweetwater Filter Cartridge
Water is crucial for time outdoors and if you have a MSR filter, you will need a MSR Sweetwater Filter Cartridge. Filters remove the toxins, compounds, and microbes that are found in the water of any stream. Filters work by having cartridges that remove these toxins, but filter cartridges have limited lifetime and need to change periodically, to make sure that your system is working to their full potential. This MSR filter cartridge has the latest filtration technology, using a .2 micron labyrinth and carbon technology. The filter comes from durable material and include a safety indicator that tells you when to change the filter. After you have cleaned and used the filter multiple times, a screen will become visible that tells you it is time to change the filter. If you have a MSR filter you should buy a MSR Sweetwater Filter Cartridge so you will be ready to replace the existing cartridge when it is time.

MSR Sweetwater Filter Cartridge Features

  • A layer of granular activated carbon surrounding the filter improves the taste of unsavory water
  • After repeated cleanings, this screen-like layer becomes visible so you know when it's time to replace your filter cartridge
  • The heart of the SweetWater microfilter is a replaceable 0 2-micron labyrinth depth filter with a Filter Replacement Safety Indicator imbedded inside the filter material
  • Weight [with packaging]: 0.35 lb
