    Comments about MSR Sweetwater Silt Stopper II:

    Haven't tried it with murky water but gave it a shot in-line in a First Need XLE using tap water. Attached it in serial between the intake and the XLE hose using the included 4in hose. Fits great. Just a little bit on the expensive side but it'll save me tons on replacing filter canisters for the XLE.

    If it doesn't fit well for you, just go to home depot and plop down $5 for a length of 3/16" ID tubing. Nice and snug. It fit well for the 1/4" tubing that came with the XLE but I'll definitely be doing that if things start sliding apart.

      will be using as a prefilter(after intake screen) on a first need filter, (best to have some spare elements) also will be using coffee filters on the intake screen.

          It was easy to connect to my First Need XL. I placed it after the First Need pre-filter. My first pump was disturbed murky lake water. While pumping I watched the silt stopper turn brownish. So I'm glad I used it.
