[pct-l] clean water

[Gerry Zamora]

I see alot about what products to use to treat my water and so far I like
bleach.  But I would rather just carry some type of filter so I can just
refill my camelback and keep trexing.  Any filter recomedations I will be in
socali for my section hike so I know the water is less than desirable.
Thanks,
Gerry

pumped effortlessly, after about a week it became almost impossible to pump
water through, even after performing the backflush procedure repeatedly. In
fact, it became so hard to pump through that the rubber one-way valves would
occasionally invert--easy enough to fix, but frustrating. The reviewers at
backpackinglight.com found the same issue. MSR did a recall and issued
updated filters, but the improvement was minor at best.
