We had 3 older (circa 2000) First Need water filters in our troop and they have been used on dozens of trips backpacking all over Michigan and the rest of country. When time the time came to replace the canisters we were not able to find replacements and the older systems had been well used. I came right back to First Need because I knew they worked and was not disappointed. I bought two of these this summer for a trip to North Manitou Island in Michigan for 10 boys & 4 adults. We filtered easily over 50 gallons of water over 5 days from Lake Michigan.. We also had 1 MSR MiniWorks filter... these First Need filters would fill a large Nalgene bottle in about 1 minute, where as the MSR takes 5-6 minutes. We would fill a 5 gallon collapsible water jug at the the lake, bring it back to camp and then, pumping from the jug, fill all the Nalgene bottles (about 15) and everyones water bladders in about 15 minutes using just two of these pumps...

Excellent Water Purifier for Clean Drinking Water, By This review is from: First Need XL Portable Water Purifier (Misc.) The General Ecology First Need XL Water Purifier is a top of the line water purifier that is a must have when you need fresh drinkable water. If you are obtaining water from a questionable water source then you can be confident that this purifier will produce clean water that will not get you sick. It is effective against cryptosporidia, bacteria, viruses, and removing harmful chemicals. This unit is good for hiking, backpacking, camping, disaster preparedness, or traveling.Pros: + Good flow rate + Sturdy + Reliable + Pumping is easy + Relatively easy to clean + Water tastes good + Effective against viruses and chemicals + Connects directly to my Nalgene water bottle + Canister capacity is about 150 gallons of water Con: - It is bulky and heavy compared to other models.
