> What currently available water > filters do people on Paddlewise recommend? I bought a Sweetwater (Guardian?) because I tried a friends and it was incredibly easy to pump. It was also relatively inexpensive. I don't know if it will get out every last bit of chemical stuff, but it seems to be adequate for pumping lake and stream water on backpacking trips. The ease of pumping has been mentioned in reviews of it I've seen. My old filter was so hard to pump that it gave me tendonitis in my wrists. My daughter is the designated water filterer (by choice) on our family backpacking expeditions, so I wanted something that would be easy for her. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
