 Great Filter! Hasn't failed me yet! Nov 20, 2009
I have used the Katadyn Hiker Pro on wilderness canoe camping trips for three years now in tannin rich waters in Maine and the Adirondacks and have had no trouble at all.
Recently one of my camping partners had his MSI Mini-Works fail in short order but we were able to continue on with my Hiker Pro, providing us with clean water for the rest of our four day wilderness camping trip.
I tend to replace the filter cartridge every year before my spring canoe camping trips and this keeps me pumping clean water for the whole year.
The provided end cap fits the Nalagene bottles of many sizes and canteen water bags easily; however I recommend optional screw on cap attachments for Platypus water bags as they make your life can be much easier when pumping from steep, muddy banks without worrying about end cap parting from the top of the bag/bottle as you hang on and pump.
Easy to use and works fast Nov 16, 2009
I have tested it before and finally took it out on a backpacking trip. First things first, now that I am back from my trip I can report not getting sick, which is a great start. Secondly, I filled 2 liters of water in the time it took my buddy to figure out how to use his steri-pen, even though he may not be the brightest, the hiker pro worked really well. The water bladder adapter made the job easy and mess free as well. I would highly recommend this.

 Works, more so than the customer service does. Nov 04, 2009
I bought this filter as I section hike the Appalachian trail and had been borrowing a MSR filter from a friend. I bought this filter 2 and 1/2 weeks before my most recent trip and when the filter came in I noticed the prefilter was missing. I contacted the customer service and informed them of this and within 1 hour I had received a response saying they would send it out as soon as possible. Well a few days before the trip I send another message since I hadnt received the piece and they said they sent it already. A week AFTER my trip was over the piece finally came in and based on the post mark it was sent 3 days before it came in. I wouldnt be so mad if it wasnt for the fact that they lied to me about the situation.
At home the filter does work just like any other but given the choice I would have opted for the MSR filter that I know is reliable and as far as I know already comes with all the pieces you need. This is what I get for trying to save a few bucks.
Never leave home without it Oct 15, 2009
I received this last March as A birthday present and just used it for the first time, it works great. I first tried it out on some accumulated rain water in our camp tarp; the water was not quite clear, but tasted fine. I drank the filtered water all weekend with no ill effects, so it must work. I would recommend this product to any one who hikes, bikes or any other outdoor activities. It ways almost nothing and is very simple to use. I love it!

Broke Easily Oct 12, 2009
Used this twice for on backpacking trips on the AT...one week trip and a weekend. Worked very well. Took it on a long day hike and couldn't get it to work...found out that the intake stem was broken. Never put the filter under too much stress for it to break in such a way. My advice...pay more for a better qaulity pump.
