So the other night with a couple days left if the trip my MSR Sweetwater took a very wet shart!
I started the the trip with a new filter. After day two or three it was already by passing. I had to brush it out, it was brand new and in a clean source.
Thursday night the pump came apart. The clear plastic piece separated off the top handle part.
So I'll Call MSR Monday and get a replacement coming.
However I need a new more bombproof pump. I'd run the Steri Pen but it seems the streams I find are only inches deep. And the same thing with a gravity system.
I like to fill my 6L Dormady then my Nalgene bottle and go a day and a half without water. Or the last couple days of get back to camp and pump my Dormady full then I'd have water for that night and the next day.
Don't really care about weight as long as it fills fast and can handle a lot of water for long trips. Also not sure how it effects it but where I hunt there's cattle so I'd hate to get sick because of a cow pie up stream or something.
Thanks
