Woods™ Water Filter & Camp Shower Combo, 20-L, Grey

Was on a 4 day back country trip with a large group so I wanted a 2nd water filtration unit in addition to the platypus unit we have had for many years. We are very knowledgeable on using gravity filtration units. The first filtration was fast and then it got slower to basically non existent. We always gather water from the middle of the lake for both systems we had and only this one had issues, even after back flushing with clean water. Because we needed lots of water for our group of 13, we eventually connected to the filter and hoses from our more expensive unit to just keep the water going. At least the dirty water bag is large capacity. I wish I could return this thing and use the money towards another platypus unit.

I also can't understand the low rating on this, works perfectly. The people whining about flow either can't read, are incompetent or have a defective product. My 1st use, it filtered quickly, used for 3 days at -2°C - +2°C, thankfully it didn't freeze. Reverse flushed it with filtered water and stored it poorly. 2nd use, I noticed slow flow rate. I removed filter and gave it a "whip motion" to clear any obstructions. Took 2 seconds and worked great the rest of the trip. Crystal clear water output. When I 1st took a sip of this filters water from Georgian bay, I had flashbacks from when I was a kid. The water was the best tasting water I've had since I was younger. Great product in my opinion.

I don't know why this has such a low rating. I've been using it happily for years! Just having trouble finding a replacement filter.

Works great!!!!!!!!!

The shower worked fine. Water was warm from heating in sun and plenty of water for 2+ people.
