<p>This lightweight system filters 1.5L of water per minute with low effort and no pumping. You simply fill and raise the reservoir and let gravity and the polymer fibres in the filter remove 99.99% of all bacteria and protozoa. The fibres in this filter are slightly more brittle than other types. Although the cartridge is encased in a protective rubber shell, and drop-tested to seven feet, consider carrying a spare cartridge on long trips – they are small, light, and relatively inexpensive.</p><ul><li>Hollow fibre technology uses polymer fibres to create a high surface-area filter that allows water to flow quickly through a 0.2 micron effective pore size</li><li>4L collapsible reservoir is made from polyurethane-coated Cordura®</li><li>Features a roll-top closure and a clear viewing port graduated to 4L</li><li>Hoses are silicon</li><li>Universal bottle adapter and clean-side cover allow filter output to 63mm standard bottles and a wide variety of other containers or reservoirs</li><li>Quick-connect adapter on the reservoir allows easy filling prior to filtering</li><li>Clip-style shutoff valve on the output hose allows quick and easy change of output containers</li><li>Easy to maintain in the field by back-flushing.

MSR AutoFlow Gravity Filter

Water can be treated using various types of filters, chemicals or non-chemical purification methods, or a combination. Filters on their own will not remove viruses as they are too small.

A 0.5 micron or smaller filters protozoa and some large bacteria; 0.2 micron or smaller filters smaller bacteria such as campylobacter.

The life of the filter cartridge is based on the quantity of water you can treat before the cartridge is no longer effective. This does not apply to battery operated or chemical filter systems.

Most viruses are in the 0.1 micron size range, but they can be as small as 0.002 microns.

Particulate consists of very small bits and pieces such as dirt or bugs.

Protozoa are larger than one micron and include cryptosporidium and giardia. 

Bacteria can cause illnesses such as diarrhea and dysentery and are about 1.0 micron in size, although some can be as small as 0.2 microns.
