Tried it once - first the filter got clogged when I took water from a riverbank that was too shallow, I couldn't have gotten the hose any further/deeper and the water always guided the end of the hose to the shore. After that I cleaned the device and used it for the rest of the trip to filter well water by taking water from the well into a pot and filtering it into a bottle. This was a good opportunity to test the product and it seemed to work easily and quickly enough.| Overall rating |
Quick to use, used on three trips now. So far worked well and remained intact. The users have also remained healthy. Nothing to blame. It is good to have a suction hose and it makes it easier to pump water while crouching by the side of a steep stream. I used to have a model where you had to scoop water into a rigid bag for filtering, and it was inconvenient when taking small amounts of water.
