Comments about Katadyn Hiker MicroFilter: Only method that retrived water from low flowing sources. The AT maps show water sources nearly everywhere...not so since the drought and springs that "were" there might only be a trickle. Could not get a "bottle" full in many locations. Worked great!
Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments about Katadyn Hiker MicroFilter: we used for a trip in Mexico and Belize to filter tap water that is otherwise not drinkable. It did a nice job and kept us from being sick the whole trip.

Comments about Katadyn Hiker MicroFilter: I have used this backpacking for 6 or 7 years now and it has been very durable and has given me no problems. I have used many of the other filters and do not find them as efficient and user friendly. It only weighs 11 oz!

Comments about Katadyn Hiker MicroFilter: Purchased this filter unit almost ten years ago. I have gone through several filters (they are expensive, but you get what you pay for) and the body has outlasted my every expectation. I plan to keep using this unit as long as I can find filters- it's easy to use, effective, and lightweight.

Q:
I have an older PUR filter and I recently changed the filter element and O-rings, but it still does not suck or pump water through the unit. I can't see any defect or problem, as the unit is ultra simple. The only thing I can think of is replacing the O-ring gaskets again. Any suggestions?Asked on 9/30/2012 by Gary from Springfield, MO2 answers
A:
I have the same pump with the same problem. If you open it up and fill it with clean water just before pumping, it might work. It works for me. I think it just has trouble getting started and this helps to prime it.Answered on 4/1/2013 by Johnny from Escalon, Ca
A:

Q:
I have an older Pur Hiker (circa 2001). It hasn't seen much use in the last several years. Is there a "time limit" on the cartridge, or is still OK if the pumping action is still smooth? My wife and I are fixing to embark on a backpacking trek where potable water may not always be readily availableAsked on 3/25/2012 by Gene from Kaiserslautern Germany1 answer
A:
I would purchase a new cartridge

How often do you need to change the filter? Is it when it doesn't pump or after so many gallons? Thank you.Asked on 6/24/2011 by UtahCamper1 answer
