I have had no trouble with mine and recommend these gizmos.



I checked Campmor & REI, & they both carry the Katadyn brand. Is that
what you have?

If you're very concerned/paranoid about bacteria/giardia, then the
Katadyn one is probably the way to go. I have one that uses a filter,
AND iodine, to purify water. I don't use it, because of the taste of the
water, and it's hard to squeeze a decent flow of water out of it. I use
the cheaper, single filter style bottles now. This is one brand i've tried.

After multiple uses, with absolutely no maintenance, I haven't been sick
drinking from the cheaper bottles. They also flow water a lot easier.
During the summer, I will drink a lot of water through a filter bottle.
So far, no case of the "squirts".

for weight distribution and not getting a sore back add tabs to the back
of your vest and run your wading belt through it..you'll be suprized how
much better you feel with this setup..my battinkill vest came with
them...also stand straighter when fishing and walking..I see so mant
people out there bent over to much....
