Brand: MSR

Located in: Water Treatment

The MSR MiniWorks EX is the best-selling filter on the market, delivering long-lasting, fully field-maintainable water filtration. Its durable ceramic element ensures protection, pumps water for years, and can be cleaned repeatedly for full recovery, with no tools required for complete disassembly. The MiniWorks is also lightweight, compact, and, thanks to its innovative AirSpring Accumulator™, capable of pumping one liter of water per minute.

Effective Protection: Removes bacteria, protozoa (including crypto and giardia), and particulate

Fast Flow Rate: Fill a 1-liter container in just one minute

Delivers Fresh Tasting Water: Carbon core removes unpleasant tastes and odors caused by chemicals, such as iodine, chlorine, and pesticides

Field Maintainable: If your filter clogs, simply take it apart, clean it, and put it back together. Our new thread stop will keep you from over-tightening the parts

User-Friendly: Our adapter base lets you screw your MSR filter directly onto wide-mouth Nalgene bottles and all MSR Hydration Bags

Long Cartridge Life: An inlet foam pre-filter removes large debris, and our patented inlet float keeps the intake hose off the stream bottom, extending the life of your cartridge

Worry Free: An indicator gauge that lets you know when its time to replace your ceramic cartridge

AirSpring Accumulator: By using a bubble of trapped air, the AirSpring Accumulator pushes more water through in less time. On the handle down stroke the air bubble is compressed, storing some of the pump force, then on the up stroke, the bubble expands pushing water through the cartridge

Comments about MSR MiniWorks EX MicroFilter:

This pump filters water extremely fast and with the carbon filter any tastes in the water are removed. Its is extremely easy to clean even in the field. The filter is just a tad on the bulky side, but I am willing to sacrifice that for clean water. Also the filter on it is easy to clean which allows the filter to last for a really long time. Goes well with the MSR dromedary and dromlite bags since it attaches to it.
