I have a friend that uses the Platypus and the in line filter worked really well for her.

You can use the platypus reservoir with the sawyer filter, I do, it hooks right up.

I have no experience using the Sawyer 3 - way with the Platypus Gravityworks, but in my experience, the quick connect attachments are universal. I created my own gravity system with some soft nalgene bottles and a set of the Camelbak quick connect adapters. If for some reason the Gravityworks doesn't connect properly, I would just pick up a set of the quick connect adapters. They're relatively cheap and come in handy no matter what. Hope this helps

Hi, These 2 units use the same filter, and they are not listed on the Multipure web site. They use the most common filter. The countertop unit on the Multipure site is plastic now not stainless. They must be older models, but I would prefer the stainless over plastic. The filters will always be available, and if you get on the auto ship program from Multipure, you can save $$. Which ever one fits your fancy. They are sold by 2 different companies and neither has free shipping. Definitely buy one. You will be doing yourself and whoever else drinks the water a huge favor. Sorry about the delay. I was caught up in the flooding in Colorado. I was not directly affected, but friends were.

I think my answer would be close to what R.Pe noted,good information there.What I would say is that unless you filter from some sketchy sources a lot the Sawyer filter won't need back washing in the field.When you get home you can backwash your filter.I hike with 3 guys several times a year and we all carry the Sawyer,we will bring one syringe between us but on four trips we have been on nobody had to backwash-that being said chose your water sources wisely.

Let me check with my husband. I think his biggest problem that I have heard him comment on is trying to get the pressure just right for the gun. I know he does like the gravity feed much more than the siphon but has used both. I will ask him tonight and email shortly. Overall he is really happy with it.

I tried this pump with my Drinkwell Platinum Pet Water Fountain and it did not fit. I don't know what pet fountain the resum SP-400LV pump is made for. It's been difficult for me to find a replacement pump for the two Drinkwell fountains I have. Sorry I could not be of more help.

It says in the description that it is compatible with Original, Platinum, and Big Dog Fountains. So as the 2-chamber filters are also compatible with Original, Platinum, and Big Dog fountains. I believe they call Original - the 50oz fountain you are asking about.

i Bought this for my son as a replacement for his Camelback. He says it is Nalgene Compatible. But he doesn't know what MSR Miniworks filter is, but he doesn't see why not.

you need to change the top. Go to the store and buy Glaceau Smart Water bottle. It has a sport cap with "blue" spout. This spout will FIT the output from the Sawyer Mini. This is EXACTLY why I buy this bottle. I will also use this configuration to BACKWASH the Sawyer Mini (instead of using the stupid syringe that Sawyer give you. Hope this helps.

I never put my platypus on a backpack- years ago I bought the 1.8 liter pack and I wore it like a backpack-it had straps like a back pack does so it worked really well. The 3.0 liter pack which I purchased from Amazon a few months back is quite large & heavy when filled and has EYE tabs which you would attach to a backpack. So I would say no it would not fit IN a backpack.

The first time that I used the Sawyer, I tested it out using gravity feed from countertop height to a bucket on the floor. I was able to filter four gallons overnight. I have a Katadyn Gravidyn three candle filter that I use daily. The Sawyer will only serve as a backup.

That's a match - you can read about it at http://www.premierh2o.com/watts-premier-560014-24-gpd-reverse-osmosis-membrane-filter/

Do a google search , I have found out they come in carbon block cyl. and 2 1-2 x 10 long , the centers about 1 in You may note the flow rate of each filter. I use my filters in tandem so its rough and then a fine. Go to Lowes or Home depot and you can compare. Note the WHKF-DWHV is 3/4 npt inlets. You may want to put a T in and run them in tandom main feeds the T and two filers at the same time ---======---- parrell NOT series Higher flow rate

...removes cryptospor, etc... the charcoal filter that fits the pick-up tube takes most all other stuff and helps taste, some metals etc...change the charcoal regularly... i use same filter in a pur scout ( no longer available) and have drank lots of water type stuff from coloradoto idaho high country. Get the Katadyn Pocket for the best results, cost more initially but pays off in the long run...

I can only speak for the shelf life of the big brother version. I founded the NGO Give Clean Water (www.givecleanwater.org) and we have been using sawyer point one filters in Fiji since they came out in the summer of 2008. We recently pulled two of our original filters out of the field that were installed in August of 2008 and October of 2008. Both filters were working great after over 5 years. We have thousands of filters being used in Fiji every day, removing bacteria from contaminated water supplies. If well kept, these filters are everything Sawyer says they are. We have proven them reliable in the field after 5 years of heavy use and still counting. The mini's are well built, with the same technology as the bigger version. I'd buy with confidence! I have one in my house for my emergency kit.

This water filter is so great! It has an adapter that can fix into any standard bottle neck thread. I've tried it to a standard mineral water bottles. Nalgene wide mouth also fit in. It also fit into my favorite Sigg aluminum bottle. Unfortunately, it cannot fit in into the thread of the military spec canteen. Thanks!

Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work. I'm always a fan of having a little extra filtration capacity, since if the filter is rated for 15 gallons (as this one is) that's assuming its clean and operating normally. Getting the PF25 would give you a little extra filtration and flow in your tank. Those are just my thoughts. I really liked the idea and concept of this filter and it seemed to work fine for me, I just couldn't get it to fit under my aquarium shroud, so I ended up returning and got a secondary fiter to support the primary one. UV is definitely a good thing for your aquarium though! Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work.
