Comments about MSR Sweetwater Micro-Filtration System: I purchased the MSR Sweetwater filter because my dad used a Sweetwater filter when we hiked back in the 90's. That filter saw some serious trail time and purifying water is not a place to cut costs.

Comments about MSR Sweetwater Micro-Filtration System: Had an original version fifteen years ago and loved it. New version works the same. Simple, reliable, and serviceable for under a hundred bucks. Cannot be beat at this price. Do yourself a big favor, and get the separate pre-Filter for another 20 bones. Sooo worth it. I've filtered from stock tanks, turbid creeks, and flowing rivers with nothing but success.

Comments about MSR Sweetwater Micro-Filtration System: This a no frills water filtering pump. It worked well for the few days I used it. Never got stiff and I could fill the 1L bottles at a good clip. It comes with a nice nalgene wide mouth cap adapter. Yes it could be smaller and lighter but it works well. Super easy to use.
