Also, when it is dry, it does not work! You have to wet it and it will flow very fast. It will stay wet on the trail after the first use. Not a flaw, it is just a very fine mesh in the filter.I used this product on a hike of the Long Trail in Vermont last fall with the SteriPEN Journey LCD Ultraviolet Water UV Purifier. If you end up having to drink water from a murky source, then this product will do a great job of keeping the sediment out. If the Steripen is your solution to water purification, then I would definitely recommend bringing the prefilter along it will definitely increase the quality/taste of the water you end up drinking.It took me several tries before I figured it out but once you know what to do, it works well. I bought this to go with the SteriPEN. Now I feel secure drinking water from the lakes and streams.sUsed this for a couple days on a backpacking trip in Colorado. The water we filtered was clean to begin with, but this adds some reassurance on top of the steripen. It makes a very tight (maybe too tight) seal with my nalgene.
