I wanted to share my filter story too!
On the hike with Snail-no-More, ke kehaawe and Waterboy before trail
days, i was using (along with alot of other people) my sweetwater
guardian. over the course of 3 days, the pump action was still easy, but
it was leaking water around the top.
yada, yada, yada... i go to trail days and see the sweetwater people who
say they'll take a look at it to make sure it wasn't the pump. i tell
the guy i'll be back after the talent show. when i arrive, the booth is
dismantled, but a brand new filter is waiting for me! I thought that was
really cool. he looked at it and said it might just be a dirty filter,
but he still let me keep the new filter. :) what classy guys!
and just to let you know, Emily - i have only used my filter maybe 10
times - and 90% of that out of a waterbag and it still got cloggy. makes
you think twice about filtering directly out of the watersource. :P
