Most pump filters, including the MiniWorks EX come with a hose, pre-filter, and a float. MSR MiniWorks Components Hose and Pre-filter If that’s the case, the MSR MiniWorks EX water filter should be on your shortlist because most ultralight hollow-fiber membrane filters only work with small-mouth soda bottles or require their own proprietary-sized bottles to function, like the Katadyn BeFree. If you prefer to carry hard plastic Nalgene style bottles, Nalgene soft canteens, MSR Dromedary, or MSR DromLite water bladders, chances are you’ll value the MiniWorks’ convenience for using a wide-mouth hydration system more. Wide Mouth Bottle Compatibilityīut there’s another factor that’s equally important when choosing which water filter to use and that is wide-mouth bottle compatibility. But pump filters are generally the heaviest form of water filtration available for hikers and backpackers compared to squeeze bottle filters, in-line filters, gravity filter systems, filter-straws, and UV purification, and therefore less attractive in terms of gear weight. Pump filters still have their uses though and are arguably better for obtaining and filtering water from turbid and cloudy water sources like snowmelt, beaver ponds, and cattle troughs. The popularity of pump-style water filters has plunged in recent years due to the introduction of lighter-weight hollow-fiber membrane water filters like the Sawyer Squeeze. Filter Lifetime: 2000 liters, replacement filters sold separately.Wide-mouth MSR Dromedary and Dromlite Bladders.99.9% of Protozoa (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, etc).99.9999% of Bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella, etc.).While the MiniWorks is heavier than simpler squeeze-style water filters, it's a better solution for filtering turbid, cloudy, or tannic water sources like snowmelt, spring thaw, and algae-infested ponds.
He MSR MiniWorks EX is an elegantly engineered water filter system that's effective for removing bacteria and protozoa from backcountry water sources and is compatible with wide-mouth hydration bottles and bladders.
