MSR MiniWorks EX Backcountry Water Purifier System

The MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter Water Purifier provides proven, reliable water filtration and purification for camping and hiking, backcountry adventures, global travel, survival situations, and emergencies. The replaceable Marathon EX ceramic element removes bacteria (such as E. coli. Shigella, salmonella, cholera), protozoa (such as giardia, cryptosporidium, amoebae), and particulate, and its carbon core eliminates unpleasant tastes and odors caused by organic compounds such as iodine, chlorine, and pesticides. Also included are 50 Aquatabs, which protect against viruses (99.99% effective) when added to filtered water; each tab treats up to two quarts of water. Thanks to its innovative AirSpring Accumulator, the microfilter is capable of pumping one liter of water per minute, a flow rate that is easily maintained in the field, without any tools. The MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter Water Purifier meets NSF protocol P231 testing standards for removal of bacteria (99.9999%) and protozoa (99.9%), throughout its replaceable filter life of 2,000 liters of water. Compatible with a wide variety of water containers such as Nalgene, Camelback, and MSR Dromedary Bags (sold separately); bottom screws on to threaded lids, or water can be pumped directly into a hydration reservoir drinking tube. Lightweight and compact, the pump measures 7.5 x 2.75 inches and weighs one pound. Includes 50 Aquatabs, and a storage bag. Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty. Made in the USA.
