I know this will not filter out viruses due to them being much smaller. Should I treat the water with a chemical after wards or just use the filter? question_125886 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:34:03 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Katadyn-Mini-Ceramic-Microfilter/EXT0036M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125705#question_125705 Katadyn Mini Ceramic Microfilter<br /><br />can I get replacement filters?.. question_125705 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 11:27:37 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/MSR-SweetWater-Microfilter/CAS0274M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125115#question_125115 MSR SweetWater Microfilter<br /><br />Typically how often do you need to change the filter if it is used quite a bit? question_125115 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:16:55 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Platypus-Cleanstream-Gravity-Filter-System/CAS0453M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125023#question_125023 Platypus Cleanstream Gravity Filter System<br /><br />Do the people that use this system trust the water as drinkable when complete or should further treatment like Steripen or tablets be used?

I assume that this is an older model. I&#39;m looking for a manual and want to know if the replacement filter for both units are the same. I has never been used and appears in very good condition. question_117804 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:47:28 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Katadyn-Pocket-Water-Microfilter/EXT0005M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_117431#question_117431 Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter<br /><br />Hi, I just got one of these filters at a yard sale. It has some corrosion and the ball valves don&#39;t move. How does one disassemble this model Katadyn? The piston unscrews, but after that? Is it a matter of brute force? Moderate twisting has no effect.<br /><br />Thanks. question_117431 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 12:36:40 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Katadyn-Siphon-Filter/EXT0029M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_117389#question_117389 Katadyn Siphon Filter <br /><br />following the instructions, submerse in a bucket , but it only syphons about 1/5 of what it should. then the instructions say to syphon faster , wet the filter.

There is an O-ring on the top and bottom of the old style filter and only one on the bottom of the new one. Also, does the new maintenance kit contain everything I&#39;ll need for the old filter housing?
