Product Details
A complete water-treatment setup that handles everything from sediment to viruses, aimed at popular wilderness areas and international travel where viral protection matters. It pairs MSR's well-proven MiniWorks EX pump filter—a ceramic/carbon element that removes bacteria, protozoa, and particulate while cutting tastes and odors at about a liter per minute—with chlorine-based Aquatabs purification tablets that add the viral defense a filter alone can't provide. The ceramic element can be scrubbed clean and reused in the field with no tools, and the filter threads directly onto a wide-mouth Nalgene or an MSR Dromedary bag. Together they meet U.S. EPA requirements for microbiological water purifiers, in a system light enough to carry on a backpacking trip.
