Re: [at-l] Advice Needed on Water Filters

<< Currently I am looking to invest in a water filter.  Up to now I have
 mostly borrowed from others supplemented w/ tablets or boiling water.  As a
 graduate student I have a limited budget -- affording the "best" is not the
 goal right now, but certainly a filter that is dependable and rugged.  I
 have noticed that REI has the Katadyn Combi water filter on sale now for
 $129.00.

 This model would be within my budget for a water filter, though I would not
 want to spend much over $130.00.  Does anyone have any suggestions or
 experience w/ this company and/or this specific product?  Other reliable
 products within this price range?  Suggestions?

Brian,
     I use the MSR Miniworks.  Cost at Campmor: $69.75.
I've used the Miniworks for a year now.  It's great.  It has a ceramic filter
($29.99 to replace) which is very easy to clean.  It can pump 1 L every 90
seconds (if your arms can keep that pace).  I also like the feature that
allows this filter to thread directly to my 10 L MSR Deluxe Domedary Bag.
Thanks,
