4.0 out of 5 stars First Need Replacement Canister, April 5, 2008

We received quick shipping of our two canisters. They are the newer model, unlike the picture, which is the original canister like we had. The canister fits just like the old one. It does not have the cover on the bottom like the old one, only a little white piece to cover the water outlet only. We will put it to the test this summer, but expect it two work as well as the old one.

Much better then the original cartridge I bought a few years ago. Has different threads to match smaller and larger water bottles.

I purchase a replacement filter to take with me for a wilderness camping using canoe. We were out for four days and not one of us came down with the runs. We each took turn pumping the filter as it became hard to pump after a while. This is one of the few filter that filters everything including virus.
