Re: [Philmont]: Water Filters/Purifiers

Pete,

These sound much quicker than the MSR filters we have been using for
the last four years. Do you use them in tandem with the MP tablets or
in lieu of the tablets? Also, we have found that the MSR filters clog
quickly when filtering lake water or other sources with algae or
particulates - usually have to clean them after every Nalgene. Do you
have this same problem with the First Need purifiers?
