Origin Outdoors - Wasserfilter - Wasserfilter

I received the product today and did a rinse as recommended by the instructions manual.

The good: The filter was easy to use. Screw on the squeeze bag containing unfiltered water and fresh water comes out the other end. Simple. Flow rate was also very decent, I had expected much slower, though time will tell after repeated uses whether the flow rate remains.

The bad: Unfortunately, despite tightening it as far as I can, there is a slight leak where the squeeze bag connects to the filter when applying pressure on the bag, which is needed to ensure a good flow rate. This is not ideal as it can lead to cross-contamination, but one that we can try to avoid by holding the filter a little further away from the clean water bottle.

As we need to use the filter for a hike next week, there isn't enough time to return the product, otherwise I might have done so. Not sure if this is a general product issue or only the one we received. Might purchase a Sawyer or Lifestraw filter in future.

Ich hatte den Filter eine Woche auf Trekkingtour mit in Schweden. Der Filter lässt sich leicht bedienen und reinigen. Sehr praktisch sind die Gewinde auf beiden Seiten, die auf gängige PET-Flaschen passen.

Benötige den Filter für Vol Biv (Gleitschirmtouren mit Zelt) und da wir oftmals irgendwo in den Bergen landen ist der Filter genia, um Trinkwasser aufzufüllen.
