I’ve been using this filter for the entirety of my 2017 backpacking season. It did it’s job very well. Like any gravity filter, flow will slow a bit over time, and I found I have to kind of squeeze the bag a bit to get the air bubbles out now and for the flow to start. Backflowing will obviously help that a bit, but not entirely. I still trust this filter and will use it for 2018 as well. Note: if you’re hiking on mostly sub-arctic tundras and hummocky tablelands, like me, you may find it hard to find a tree to hang this from. That can be quite annoying! I’ve destroyed my arms having to hold the 2L of water over my head more than once haha. Fun times in the maritimes.
