MSR MiniWorks EX Water Purifier for Backcountry
Category: msr water filter
The MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter Water Purifier is an essential tool for ensuring reliable water filtration and purification during a variety of activities such as camping, hiking, backcountry exploration, global travel, survival scenarios, and emergencies. At the heart of this microfilter is a replaceable Marathon EX ceramic element, which effectively removes harmful bacteria, including E. coli, Shigella, salmonella, and cholera. Additionally, it filters out protozoa like giardia, cryptosporidium, and amoebae, as well as particulates. To enhance the quality of water, the purifier features a carbon core that eliminates unpleasant tastes and odors often associated with organic compounds, including iodine, chlorine, and pesticides.
For added protection against viruses, the package includes 50 Aquatabs, which can be added to filtered water to achieve an impressive 99.99% effectiveness rate. Each Aquatab is capable of treating up to two quarts of water, ensuring that your drinking water is safe and palatable.
One of the standout features of this microfilter is its innovative AirSpring Accumulator. This system allows the purifier to pump water at a rate of one liter per minute, making it easy to maintain consistent flow in the field without the need for any tools. The MSR MiniWorks EX has been rigorously tested and meets NSF protocol P231 standards, guaranteeing a removal rate of 99.9999% for bacteria and 99.9% for protozoa over its filter lifespan, which processes up to 2,000 liters of water.
This versatile water purifier is compatible with a range of water containers, including popular options like Nalgene, Camelback, and MSR Dromedary Bags (sold separately). The bottom of the pump can screw onto threaded lids, or you can conveniently pump water directly into a hydration reservoir drinking tube.
Designed to be lightweight and compact, the pump has dimensions of 7.5 x 2.75 inches and weighs just one pound, making it ideal for outdoor adventures where space and weight are considerations. Moreover, the included storage bag allows for easy transport and organization. The manufacturer also backs this product with a limited lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind with each purchase. Made in the USA, the MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter Water Purifier stands out as a reliable and effective choice for anyone needing clean water while on the go.
Overall, the MSR MiniWorks EX Microfilter Water Purifier, paired with 50 purification tablets, serves as the perfect companion for hiking, backpacking, camping, travel, survival, and emergency preparedness. The replaceable carbon and ceramic filter efficiently eliminates bacteria, protozoa, organic compounds, and particulates. With its impressive pumping capabilities, compatibility with various water bottles and hydration bladders, and effective treatment against viruses and other pathogens, this purifier is an indispensable tool for maintaining safe drinking water in any situation.
