The bag has some trouble filling from top water so we took a pot to skim top water and then poured it into the bag. Now... I went on a 8 day kayaking trip on the Buffalo river in AR in July. Me and a friend had to drink a lot of water. We used this 1-2 times a day to fill at least 2 gallons at a time. The guy I went with just turned 65 years old and he brought two pump water filters that he’s used on over 20 weeklong+ trips and we never even broke them out. By day 4, he said he was going to buy two of these filters. I’ve not used any other filter but after hearing his praises, I’ll probably buy another filter as a backup and a couple spare filters. We’ve hung this filter from a carabiner and shock cord from many tree limbs and telescoping poles we used for our rain fly. To try the durability of it, I threw it with my food dry bag (in a ziplock) and didn’t try to baby it. It got knocked around and beat up a little but held strong. The one other negative thing I’d have to say about it is that it would still drip (very very lightly, not enough to mater imo) when left hanging upside down with water in it from the mouthpiece of filter even when closed. Also when you shake it to clear the filter with water in the bag, unless you hold the lid shut tight, some water will leak or splash out. Other than that, this think is top notch, packs down small, and filters water, durable (as far as I can tell), and convenient Will buy again as a backup Review: Beautifully Made - Beautifully Made...

The filter is .2 microns and it will remove 99.99% of bacteria, protozoa and things linke E-Coli, Cryptosporidium and Giardia. **Q: Can I connect this to a clean bottle to make a gravity system? If so, how?** A: If you wanted to attach it directly to another bottle you would need to purchase an adapter. It has a standard screw type end which attaches to the stay clean drink nozzle. You could fill the filter flask and hang it using your own chord and then easily fill a clean bottle by placing your clean bottle end over the stay clean drink nozzle and squeezing the flask until the clean bottle is full. **Q: Is this a separate & distinct version without the strap holder & tube I've seen in-person on one of these?** A: Yes. We have the Befree 3.0L Befree (Item Number: 8019640) - this comes with the drinking nozzle that is just like the smaller .6L and 1L Befree systems. We also have the Befree 3.0L Gravity (item number 8020470) - this comes with the hose, quick connect cap to connect the hose to the filter, and a carry/hanging strap. **Q: How often does the filter need replaced?** A: The lifespan of the filter is directly related to the quality of water being filtered through it. If you are using clear water, the filter will last on average for about 1000L of water. If cloudy/muddy/silty water is run through it, the filter will clog a little faster. You can expand the lifespan of your filter if you follow the cleaning instructions after each use. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us directly at Katadyn.

Brings Out The Confidence In My Selection... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We could NOT have survived our camping trip without our Beefree!! *by C***I on 7 August 2018* THE BEST thing we possibly could have purchased for our motorcycle camping trip through AB and BC mountains. We used it in streams, rivers, creeks, wells and lakes! We never feared being without water. As long as a river or lake was close we had delicious and clean drinking water. This is so critical when hiking and travelling in remote areas. We honestly couldn’t have survived without it! Absolutely amazing product. So compact and super easy to use.
