It weighs just under 1 ounce, so it doesn't add much weight to your gear, but it does take up a bit of space in the already restrictive MiniWorks mesh bag.Īll-in-all, I think this little pre-filter does a reasonable job of speeding up and simplifying the water filtering process on a camping trip, allowing you to enjoy more of the environment. The MSR Specifications say that the SiltStopper cartridge is a 25-micron filter. The MSR SiltStopper simply needs a quick backwash after each use, to dislodge the silt and larger particles that it has collected. that's money in my pocket, and less time.
The SweetWater tends to clog more often and quicker than the MiniWorks. The ceramic filter and the filter in the SweetWater can be cleaned when clogged, but the filter in the Hiker must be replaced when it clogs. A package of three SiltStopper replacement cartridges costs half as much as a new Miniworks replacement cartridge, and makes the Miniworks cartridge last longer. The Hiker and SweetWater each use a paper type filter and the MiniWorks uses a ceramic filter. It also means the water flows through the filter slightly faster and it's not as hard to pump against. Less scrubbing on the main filter means MORE litres of water without having to replace my Miniworks cartridge. Without the MSR Siltstopper, I would have to tear down and scrub the MiniWorks cartridge about every 3-5 Litres, but with the SiltStopper prefilter, I can go practically a week before needing to scrub the main filter cartridge. I did some research for a few days reading reviews on both the SweetWater and the MiniWorks from customers and outdoor adventure organizations ,and finally. Alternated the batteries in the charger trays. A good friend has the MSR Miniworks and its also a nice filter. MSR Miniworks EX: 90 USD: 0. 1.260v) Charging: I used the same smart charger for both brands. photo: MSR SweetWater Microfilter pump/gravity water filter. Expensive, does not come with second bag, not effective against viruses: MSR SweetWater Microfilter: 90 USD: 0.2 micron filter / Removes protozoa and bacteria. 800mAh) Enloop shows more out of the package charge (1.306v vs. 1000 cycles) Tenergy claims 25 more storage capacity (1000mAh vs. Thanks to its innovative AirSpring Accumulator, its capable of pumping one liter per minute and the flow rate can be renewed easily and repeatedly in the field. It provides a much longer run time between cleanings for the main filter itself. Eneloop claims more recharging cycles (2100 cycles vs. I have an MSR Miniworks EX, and I use the Siltstopper on the intake hose for extra efficiency.
