Has anyone tried putting this filter on one of Camelback's glass bottles?

No, sorry. I didn't even like the bottle. Stopped using it after a few days; its so hard to drink from it. More like exercising your lungs :)

I have it on a Primo brand 5 gallon water bottle. It has no threads but I would think the design if the valve would still work since it twists to lock a rubber gasket inside its own collar.

I havent tried that yet but i have all MSR water bladers and water filter systems that work with every pack i own and expect they would work fine with this pack as well. Just look into their backpacker gear if you dont already have a set up. The heavy duty water holders are what i use and they are better than anything i have ever used before. A little expensive but mine are going on four years strong since i have the different sizes for different outings. I can say for a fact they hold up to anything even as a pillow.

i just tried it on a regular drinking glass and I could not recommend it. Didn't work for me.

Mine is about 25 years old so I can't say for sure, but from what I've read it should be possible. I have a nalgene dromedary bag that I use for base camp and just fill my bladder with it since I don't like having a hydration pack drinking tube flopping around while I'm filling it. My old filter also has rubber tubing coming attached to a now on the bottom of the filter and it looks as though one could modify the new ones the same way (just a suggestion) to make it easier to fill any type of bottle. Hope this helps and happy camping.

That depends on the filter. The Thunderhead has a long attach sleeve that doesn't work well with a number of the filters. One option that I have used is to get a small intermediate pipe between the filter and Thunderhead, so that the Thunderhead has enough pipe threads for the connection to work.

As far as the bottle itself being able to handle it I don't know. You may want to contact camelbak directly.

Most likely a modification will be needed, although I haven't dealt with a Camelback hose. The issue is that the part that grips the hose is narrow for a hose plus thickness of insulation. You can pretty easily ream out the excess thickness of plastic on the inside of the magnet part with a round file or rasp. I was able to get mine to fit a Geigerrig insulated hose.

yea! dont buy it we have had the same issue poor design we did contact tetra and all total we have had three replacements and guess what the third same thing all total four filter with uv next season we will buy external Uv . We had even taken the glass tube and reseal around glass tube where the glass meets the green plastic i will say tetra did send a replacement more then once but we could keep doing this but they have a design issue and this will continue as I said we plan to replace next season with external UV best wishes on this matter .

I don't use a filter with mine.... I don't think it needs one. One peeve is that it doesn't fit all water bottles. Mostly your cheap generic nestle type bottles. Dasani and Smart don't fit

Have anyone tried to use this sterilzer with Born Free bottles or other brands of glass bottles?

I used it with another brand filter that had the same size, style and quantity of filters with no issues! :)

No, not in that configuration. It only works on the "old style" inverted dispensers. It will also NOT work on the newer inverted dispensers with the valve in the top of the plastic water jug. We had to abandon the filter as the ceramic dome developed crack and caused to much flow so it flooded as the main filter cartridge could not handle the volume. We are now looking at the Berkey filter system. It can filter non-potable water and make it drinkable. Hope that helps R

Yes it works on all my other bottles and I have dr brown as well as other glass bottles :)

I have not done this and would suggest you might not want to... Three things to think about: 1) Syringe gives lots of pressure - instructions note the filter can take a lot of pressure - and weight next to nothing (why not carry it), 2) Bags are "squeezable" but that is only to the point of pushing water through filter...I would be concerned about rupturing a seam, 3) I like to keep the bags on one end of the filter...to keep things clean.I f you are concerned about clogging on the trail take two...not likely you'll clog both up on the same trip.

I haven't tried it on different chemicals but I did try it on city tap water that had a heavy chlorine taste. After using the filter, the water tasted much better. No hint of chemical taste. Just remember with this product. If you are hiking, the filter is moving around loosening so pump 4 or 5 times before pumping into your bottle/camel pack. I like this one. My buddies MSR doesn't even come close to the taste I get from the Hiker pro.

Sorry, but I never had a cover for the bite valve. It just fits onto he tube of the camelback and also fits the bottld
